Alastair Humphreys

Thursday, July 1, 2010


Whenever i gets time, i used to visit Mahadeshwara Temple shortly called as MM hills located in Karnataka. One of the famous temples of Karnataka for Lord Shiva. The temple lies on the top of river Palar in Tamilnadu. Palar River stands as an border for both states. Few months before, when i am on the way with my friends to the temple, i saw a foreigner holding a heavy shoulder bag and walking along the road of the hills. We stayed on the roadside for a little while and had a small chat with him. He introduced himself as Alastair Humphreys and a reporter from England. We asked him to sit on our motor cycle to travel until top of hills. He said he's involved in a 15 days walking trip from Bay of Bengal to Indian Ocean. After that, he will return to his country to write a book about his trip. I forgot about the chapter at the end of the day.

After few months, When i am searching for something in my bag last week, this visiting card caught into my hands. I got an interest of watching his website. He had an extraordinary camera that he have uploaded some high quality videos in his site, but he have written a little about his trip. I think he might have written the full cover story in his book. He has done lot of adventure trips and he remembers everything in his website. He is looking for sponsors to go around the world in bicycle. He stated in his site that Adventure is a state of mind.
