Book Summary

Beyond Horizons chronicles the remarkable journey of Major A.K. Singh and his crew aboard the 37-foot yacht, Trishna, as they became the first Indian boat to circumnavigate the globe in 1987. Over a span of 15 months and covering more than 50,000 kilometers, they faced numerous challenges, including rogue waves, equipment failures, and the worst storm to hit Sydney in nearly a century. Singh's narrative offers a vivid account of the voyage, highlighting the camaraderie among the crew and the resilience required to overcome adversity. The book also delves into Singh's personal journey, detailing his training at the National Defence Academy and the Indian Military Academy, his tragic hang-gliding accident that led to the amputation of his leg, and his determination to complete the circumnavigation despite the setback. His story serves as an inspiring testament to the indomitable human spirit and the pursuit of one's dreams against all odds.
