The Hindu
Seventy-four year-old veteran travel guide Yathra Mohan chats about ‘A Tourist’s Guide to Calicut’, a practical and interesting tour book on the historic city of Kozhikode
“There were 40 of us, mostly men, on that bus trip to Goa,” recalls K. Mohan, aka Yathra Mohan. “I asked them why they were not taking their daughters along. The reply was, ‘Goa is not a safe place for girls’. The trip changed their outlook.” Mohan is talking about the first trip he organised as a tour guide in 1984. After that, Goa became one of the hottest holiday destinations for people from Kozhikode, he says.
