I am fascinated by achievement of \u00a0Ibn Battuta, his travel achievement of 7400+ miles. \u00a0Being a muslim, he traveled most part of the world where Islam was practiced. I am not sure if this was the reason for him not getting credit he deserved by the western historians.<\/p>\n

This post is not enough about his journey details, i have added footnote with references for more detailed read.<\/p>\n

Some notes about his life & journey I made :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. He was born in family of scholars and judges in .<\/li>\n
  2. He started his first journey at age of 21 years for Mecca to become the best known traveler to the world.<\/li>\n
  3. When he returned back home, his parents were dead and his country under threat by the christian ruler.<\/li>\n
  4. His resolution was not to travel same route more than once but found himself in Delhi twice & mecca 4 times. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  5. He practised Sufism.<\/li>\n
  6. During his entire journey he traveled over 40 country including India, China, Russia & most parts of Africa.<\/li>\n
  7. He was appointed as ambassador to China by sultan of Delhi. [Never imagined this part]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I am yet to find an interesting book to read about him & his journey. \u00a0I found \u00a0From pilgrim to world traveler:\u00a0Ibn battuta<\/a>\u00a0 really interesting. I will update the blog as I find more references.<\/p>\n
