Like many other things in my life, spontaneity in travel has also place in it. Because of spontaneity, I have repeatedly come to places that no one would ever have thought of travelling to. I have repeatedly come to the wrong place at the wrong time, like that time when having arrived in Swarupkathi for a mango harvest, when realised it was two months too early. This time we arrived at the lake right after the closing of the holiday season. This meant that nothing was available for rent and that we would only eat what we took with us for this two-day hike.
