• On the 1st of January, 2019, I embarked on a 365 day journey across India, travelling on a daily budget of Rs. 500 (~$7) exploring culture, cuisine and geographical diversity of our country. With a survivalist mindset, equipped with cameras and a will to explore and challenge myself, I backpacked and hitchhiked from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and Gujrat to the Seven Sister States!
• I travelled thousands of kilometers in the general compartments of the trains, changing directions and destinations as I saw fit. Between cycling into the sprawling white desert of the Great Rann of Kutch for the sunrise to hiking through the lush evergreen forests of Nongriat in Meghalaya to witness the natural double decker bridges, and from the furthermost mountainous villages at the border of India and Pakistan in Kashmir to Dhanushkodi to witness the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, I saw it all. Well not quite all, but quite a lot.
• Sleeping on railway station benches and bus stand ticket counters, to hostels and dharamshalas and quite about anywhere to fit my expenses in my daily allocated resources, and walking hundreds of kilometers if not thousands over a period of a year, I found what I was looking for, and that was a concentrated dose of adventure.
• Polishing my photography skills along the way, and video logging my daily experience, I managed to come back home unscathed and in one piece, with an experience of a lifetime, after witnessing the best of human nature through kindness and friendship of strangers.
• The most important realisation that I took from this journey was that life was most engaging when nothing went according to plans and the minimum comfort that I had was also stripped away.
