Koshi to Kaveri: A Journey Across North-East India to South India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184635385)

What if a journey across India could also become a journey back to yourself?

Koshi to Kaveri is not just a travelogue-it is a deeply moving literary journey across rivers, memories, cities, and the unseen landscapes of the human heart.

Beginning in Khagaria, Bihar, a land shaped by the restless waters of the Koshi, and stretching all the way to the graceful banks of the Kaveri in South India, this book follows one traveler's remarkable passage across the country through railway tracks, sacred cities, historical landscapes, bustling metropolises, and quiet riverbanks. But beneath the physical distance lies something even more powerful: a search for belonging, healing, identity, and the meaning of home.

With vivid storytelling, cinematic detail, and lyrical reflection, Deo Kumar brings India alive in all its breathtaking contrasts-
from the floodplains of Bihar to the temple-rich heritage of Odisha,
from the fast pulse of Bengaluru to the royal calm of Mysuru,
from the historical weight of Srirangapatna to the spiritual grace of the Kaveri.

Along the way, the journey becomes more than travel. It becomes a conversation between two rivers-Koshi, the river of uncertainty, and Kaveri, the river of grace. Through them, the author explores migration, memory, resilience, beauty, loneliness, and the quiet transformation that happens when we travel far enough to truly see both the world and ourselves.

This is a book for anyone who has ever left home with hope in their heart and ache in their chest.
For anyone who has ever stood at a railway platform wondering who they would become on the other side of the journey.
For anyone who believes that roads, rivers, and distant cities can change not only where we are-but who we are.

Koshi to Kaveri is a soulful tribute to India's landscapes, histories, and emotional geographies-a travel memoir rich with observation, humanity, and poetic depth.
