My review

Let’s take you places is a small bitter-sweet slice of years of traveling experience of the author, Hooma Roy Choudhury. Through ten chapters, the author gives the readers a glimpse of her 15+ years of travel experience ranging from all the states in India to several international travels. The tales are written in a unique style that captures a realistic experience. I felt that I’m traveling with the author through all these terrains. This makes the travelogue an unforgettable experience.

My favorite tale from the book is about Spiti Valley. The hair-raising adventure combined with unexpected situations was not short than a thriller story. Along with the exceptional pictures that capture the pristine beauty of Spiti, this was an unforgettable tale for me.

What makes this book a standalone in the sea of travelogues is the honesty of the author about her experiences. She talks about all the difficulties of traveling alone and with family. Although she faced many struggles in life, travel was her escape from all of them. Her views on spirituality which is enriched by continuous travel was an eye-opener for me.

This is not a simple collection of travel tales. This is a beautiful essay on the experience that only traveling can buy.
