In the historic Indian town of Agra, you can find a very unusual tour company, which is owned by a charming young man named Raj. Although Raj's official job is to show off the historical landmarks of Agra, including the legendary Taj-Mahal, his true mission is to heal the souls of his broken "birds," as he affectionately refers to his tour participants. His business operates purely upon word-of-mouth referrals, ensuring that all of his tour members arrive in Agra with their hearts in their hands, ready for the spiritual growth and cleansing that Raj is known to provide.Healing the hearts of the spiritually damaged can be a difficult job, and in this particular tale, Raj finds himself faced with his most challenging tour group yet.
First, there is Ira, a stunningly gorgeous but fragile young woman on the brink of suicide. Next, we meet Darci and Lennard, a couple on the verge of divorce. Then there is Carl, an irritable, antisocial workaholic who has burned all of his bridges. Lastly, we meet Asha, an elderly widow who still yearns for the company and comfort of her late husband.When disaster strikes the tour group, everything is thrown into jeopardy, including lives, relationships, and Raj's very reputation as a tour guide. Raj must find a way to lift the spirits of these five special travelers, even in the face of death and despair.
Venture into the unknown and discover how Raj Touristry heals the brokenhearted, one soul at a time.

Review

Voyagers into the Unknown is a delightful tale that interrogates the emotional connection between strangers and between races. With a cast of vivid characters, Ruchira Khanna draws the reader into a captivating emotional drama. Agra, the city, stands as both an alluring character and a magnificent setting that directs the diverse experiences, which are woven deftly into the fabric of the plot. The book is a wonderful compilation of encounters, both unexpected and unfamiliar.

-Jaya Padmanabhan
Editor, India Currents"

"Voyagers into the Unknown" is a vibrant story of transformation through an unlikely source: a local tour guide of historical Agra, India where the Taj Majal still sways those who behold it. Seeped in cultural philosophy, this novel is an uplifting read from Ruchira Khanna." Charli Mills, Writer & Lead Buckaroo of Carrot Ranch Communications

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author did a great job introducing the characters and I grew attached to them. The premise was unique, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

I was a bit distracted at times by the change in POV, which could happen within a page multiple times; sometimes within a paragraph. Once I got used to it, however, it was easy to breeze through. The other thing that caught my eye was the multiple exclamation points. I felt like the writing was strong enough and stood alone just fine, without the added visual aid. Still, and again, I was able to ignore this in order to devour the morsels of story found amidst the punctuation.

I kept waiting for the end to happen but was so happy that the author took the time to resolve the multiple story lines winding through the manuscript. I felt entertained, enlightened, and satisfied when I finished this book.

Set in one of the most amazing places in earth; Agra, the Taj Mahal; my second home. A city and historical monument that has the magical ability to heal a broken heart and kindle love within those broken hearts. Each sub story in this novel, touched you in a special way as they all strive for peace in their lives. This is my first novel for this author but I plan on reading her other works. I also hope there can be another novel in which these same people would return to visit the other monuments in Agra.

Voyagers Into the Unknown is a charming story set in Agra, India. The author's easy to read style pulled me in quickly. Agra and the Taj Mahal are well described.

Travel director Raj has built up a reputation for being able to help those suffering from broken hearts find love again. I liked Raj and am glad he was the main character. I did think his clients sometimes found the solutions to their problems rather easily. Regardless, I look forward to reading more of Raj's adventures.

Through a great “ensemble cast,” the author explores the depths of the human condition. I liked the interwoven stories and especially the many ways things turned out. Truth, hope, and helpful insights are here as well as tips to help us do “human” better. A great story with healing for the reader at its heart!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas...need to add more development, depth and flow....
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2017

If you enjoy stories such as the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, you'll find some common ground with 'Voyagers' in a variety of characters, the beautiful settings and people of India, and an emphasis on learning more about ourselves while interacting with others, history, and culture. While there are many good ideas and the lure of discovery in a great location, there were often abrupt shifts in the characters' behaviors and speaking that didn't flow and sometimes the psychology analyses by the author seemed out of place in the dialogue and felt like a separate insertion of instruction rather than characters really discovering their own principles and paths. I believe the author has great potential for developing future books further and more deeply, and will create more flowing dialogue and chapters with experience....so I'll keep an eye open for new offerings going forward!

When reading this book, it almost feels like that this would make an excellent film! The interplay of characters, the story line intricacies keeps you engaged. Visit to the "Taj Mahal City" brings about people from all walks of life and how they are affected by the circumstances, weather, and the rich heritage that belongs to this amazing city of Agra. All truly captured beautifully by author Ruchira. She makes you want to travel there and have an experience of your own! A must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Discovering the unknown
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016

The title is thoughtfully selected, as it is not only a journey into the unknown by the characters themselves, not knowing what to predict, it's also an unknown path for all of them as they start learning about each other. The storyline left me with mixed feelings thinking about the state of mind of a person who is not able to forgive, and the helplessness of a person on death bed seeking forgiveness. Overall, the emotions were captured really well. This book again emphasizes 'Choices' as Ruchira described in her first book.

An amazing journey into one's spiritual self. A tour guide to guide you across not just through historical town Agra but also into the depths of yourself. A journey where we meet people who are struggling to find their footholds in their life and Raj the tour guide is there just to get them their firm feet under them back.
Loved the journey of each character. A spiritual voyage into the unknown indeed!

The author has taken a very unique approach of storytelling. The language and the format of stories written stand apart in the crowd of the usual style of narration. There are very few authors who take a risk in experimenting to challenge the stereotypical way of writing. Every character in all the stories in the book is so beautifully portrayed that at times the readers will experience a surreal feeling of seeing the characters around them.
Language & Grammar:
A very fine language along with very good grammar is found in the book.

My Final Verdict:
Wonderful and eccentrically intelligent writing.

Book review:
🌸 This book is a vibrant story of transformation through an unlikely source. Its a delight to interrogate the emotional connection between strangers and between races. It deals with the intangible aspects of human existence and inculcate the quality of forgiveness and compassion.

🌸 The story revolves around Raj's tourist agency who helps a group of foreigners who visit India that offers tours throughout Agra. Raj gets to know many people daily and his experience grows. As the story progresses, the twists and turns stirred me completely.

🌸The author has well penned the storyline bringing upfront the emotional setbacks of many tourists and the reason at times they come out for an outing either to enjoy or handle out their entangled personal issues. The author has beautifully depicted Raj's character and how heals the hearts of spiritually damaged persons.

🌸 Looking Agra from the tours view and the spectators view was quite fascinating. It provides an urge to visit Agra once and change your attitude towards life a bit.

🌸 I enjoyed reading this book and venturing many people's issues was a mix feeling. I would recommend this deep insight book to all.
🌸 Happy Reading!

This isn't my first book by Ruchira Khanna, so I knew I can definitely expect something mind blowing.

There are many characters in it and the story is set in Agra (one of my favorite cities). The plot is unraveling and and as you read more and more you will definitely fall for all the characters as all of their stories will make you go through various emotions.

I must say I love how Ms. Khanna comes up with unique plots every time. The cover too again this time is very well chosen. Not only that, no proofreading error, no confusions anywhere. Every chapter has something new.

My verdict: Ruchira Khanna's books are truly worth reading and this is one of the amazing works so you should grab it.

'Voyagers into the unknown' by Ruchira Khanna is a fictional read based on the journey to the unknown path as the title suggests. The story revolves around the protagonist Raj, a tourist guide who runs a company 'Raj Touristy' and has a companion Meera as a receptionist. His job is to show off the historical landmarks of Agra like Taj Mahal but he also heals the souls of his tourists. He meets a group of five people who are from different places having different struggles in life.

Read the book to know how he heals one soul at a time.

The author has narrated the story really well which has the elements like love, life, hope, struggles, etc. The writing style of the author is smooth and flowing which makes it an engaging read. Language used is simple and easy to understand. The plot of the story is unique and emotional. The characters are well developed and described by the author. I liked the character of Raj. The flow of the book is well paced.

In nutshell, an emotional read with message.

Voyagers into the Unknown,the book title itself denotes about a journey or a path taken to an unusual and unknown path.
The book is actually really an interesting and intriguing read . Revolving around a tourist guide named 'Raj' who runs a tourist servise under his name 'Raj Touristry' is one of the most fun loving,amazing and admiring characters I have read about till date .
His job is totally reliable on words . Those words can make your day ,break your heart, recall old memories or inspire you to live new moments . Meeting people of multiple perceptions have always been a part and parcel of his work. But the turmoil arrives when he meets a tourist group of 5 people ,each one sailing on a different emotional boat. Will Raj be able to row all the boats towards a path of satisfaction and accomplishments. Read , enjoy and refer.....
