After leaving Taakli, Ramdas embarked on a pilgrimage across the Indian subcontinent. He traveled for twelve years and witnessed the then existing social realities. He made observations on the effects of natural calamities such as floods and famine on human life. He also observed the atrocities that the then Muslim rulers committed on the common masses. He had these observations recorded in two of his literary works "Asmani Sultania" and "Parachakraniroopan." These literary works provide a rare insight into the then prevalent social conditions in the Indian subcontinent. He also traveled to the Himalayas during this period. Around this time, he is thought to have met the sixth Sikh Guru Hargobind at Srinagar.
