Ibn Battuta reached Mecca with a caravan from Damascus and Palestine. During his travels, he had met two sages who had described to him the beauty of traveling to the eastern countries. At the same time he resolved to visit those countries. From Mecca, Ibn Battuta returned to Mecca again in 1329 AD. after visiting Iraq, Iran, Mosul etc. and stayed there for three years and was engaged in study and devotion to God. Later he started the journey again and went to Mecca for the third time from Hormuz, the port of South Arabia, East Africa and Persia. From there he came to India via Crimea, Khiva, Bukhara via Afghanistan. On reaching India, Ibn Battuta had become very rich and prosperous.
ENTRY TO INDIA – 
After entering India's north-west gate, he directly reached Delhi, where Tughlaq Sultan Muhammad gave him great respect and appointed him as the Qazi of the capital. Remaining in this position for seven full years, in which he had the opportunity to see the Sultan very closely, Ibn Battuta listened to every event with great care. In 1342, Muhammad Tughlaq sent him as his ambassador to the emperor of China, but a few days after his departure from Delhi, he was in great trouble and with great difficulty, he reached Calicut after saving his life and facing many objections. In such a situation, considering it to be futile to go to China via the ocean, he set out to travel through the land and reached China while roaming in the regions of Lanka, Bengal etc. But perhaps he did not even go to the court of Mongol Khan. After this he visited Muslim places in West Asia, North Africa and Spain, and finally Timbukt etc. He returned to the Moroccan capital "Fez" in early 1354. His travelogue written by him in the Arabic language called Rihrila gives very interesting information about the social and cultural life of the Indian subcontinent in the 14th century.
भारत प्रवेश - भारत के उत्तर पश्चिम द्वार से प्रवेश करके वह सीधा दिल्ली पहुँचा, जहाँ तुगलक सुल्तान मुहम्मद ने उसका बड़ा आदर सत्कार किया और उसे राजधानी का काज़ी नियुक्त किया। इस पद पर पूरे सात बरस रहकर, जिसमें उसे सुल्तान को अत्यंत निकट से देखने का अवसर मिला, इब्न बत्तूता ने हर घटना को बड़े ध्यान से देखा सुना। १३४२ में मुहम्मद तुगलक ने उसे चीन के बादशाह के पास अपना राजदूत बनाकर भेजा, परंतु दिल्ली से प्रस्थान करने के थोड़े दिन बाद ही वह बड़ी विपत्ति में पड़ गया और बड़ी कठिनाई से अपनी जान बचाकर अनेक आपत्तियाँ सहता वह कालीकट पहुँचा। ऐसी परिस्थिति में सागर की राह चीन जाना व्यर्थ समझकर वह भूभार्ग से यात्रा करने निकल पड़ा और लंका, बंगाल आदि प्रदेशों में घूमता चीन जा पहुँचा। किंतु शायद वह मंगोल खान के दरबार तक नहीं गया। इसके बाद उसने पश्चिम एशिया, उत्तर अफ्रीका तथा स्पेन के मुस्लिम स्थानों का भ्रमण किया और अंत में टिंबकट् आदि होता वह १३५४ के आरंभ में मोरक्को की राजधानी "फेज" लौट गया। इसके द्वारा अरबी भाषा में लिखा गया उसका यात्रा वृतांत जिसे रिहृला कहा जाता है, १४वीं शताब्दी में भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप के सामाजिक तथा सांस्कृतिक जीवन के विषय में बहुत ही रोचक जानकारियाँ देता है।
