Let's begin the Odyssey of the Spice Trail

*Seeker (traveler) - ['Walk on, stop not, till you establish yourself']

The numerous #caravans and their destinies are a subject of many folklore. Assembling together on a common mission to discover #unexploredlands, #eclecticcuisines, magical customs and rituals, the caravan and their cliche is an enigma. 
 
Spice Caravans
What makes them all the more interesting is their guts & gumption story. As the old adage goes by "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", the caravans get into uncharted territory with a first bold move. Boldness has genius - what a remark! 

The haphazard trails towards the destination evoke a sense of fulfillment with each passing moment. The seeker is not at peace until he reaches the path he has mapped. Come what may, but the goal has to be reached. The undulating hills, the deep oceans, the treacherous terrains fail to breakdown the indomitable spirit of a seeker in his quest for new territories. 

Different cultures bring out the curiosity in him, customs bedazzle his sight and heritage leaves him dumbfounded. Such is the intensity of the seeker who is hell-bent on exploring and discovering. 

Come let's begin this journey with our first Pit stop, the Cave Gardens of Meghalaya.
