In the morning they bathed at the public water tap in the train station. To ensure privacy, they hung curtains of blankets on all four sides, forming a makeshift shower stall around the tap. According to Baba's order, no coolies were to be hired; therefore, Masaji and Vajifdar had to carry all the luggage onto the train. Their belongings were heavy and cumbersome, but they managed to load everything on board in time to catch the Quetta Mail train with the assistance of Nervous, who had come to see them off.
Later, during the change of trains at Hyderabad station, Masaji lost his bedding roll. This mishap resulted in a heated quarrel between Gustadji and him. Baba afterward pacified Masaji by lending his own sheets and a woolen blanket to him. Vajifdar was assigned the duty of general manager in Behramji's absence, and he had to purchase their tickets, arrange for the food, and make certain that the luggage was properly loaded. Along with the headache of being the manager, Vajifdar also had to endure Baba's constant "arrows" (his teasing and criticisms). Baba had singled him out for goading, which proved an additional mental burden for Vajifdar.
On the way to Nepal, the train stopped at Lucknow, where Baba went to the town to buy new sandals. Not finding any he liked, he returned to the station. He was constantly wearing the kamli woolen coat given by Yeshwant Rao and the sandals made by Kanhoba Rao; for some unexplained reason, he would not wear any other coat or sandals.
Stopped at Raxaul on the Nepal frontier, Baba and the men were refused permission to cross the border. They remained in Raxaul and sent telegrams to different government authorities, requesting visas to enter the country. They were informed that if they had asked for permission a few days earlier, they would easily have obtained it, because of a religious fair being held at the time in Nepal by a congregation of Tibetan Buddhists. But now that the fair was over, foreign travelers were not being permitted inside the country; only those engaged in business, trade, or some official government work were given consent.
Giving up the idea of a journey to Nepal, Baba led the men to visit the tomb of Kabir at Maghar instead, remaining there for two days. A renowned 15th-century poet and Perfect Master, Kabir grew up in a Muslim weaver family, but some say he was really the son of a Brahmin widow and was adopted by a childless couple.
