POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Where the Trail Took Me ✨

Last two month was supposed to be full of treks in Himachal and Uttarakhand & Kashmir. I was excited, all set to lead, and looking forward to each one of them. But the monsoon came in strong—heavy rains, landslides, flash floods. Nature reminded us how powerful and unpredictable these mountains can be.

At first, it felt like everything was on pause. But instead of waiting, I chose to shift my focus. I turned toward something closer to my heart—the reason I started outdoor facilitation in the first place. We brought back our community treks with TOB @trekkers_of_belgaum and in just a few weeks, we hosted seven back-to-back events. Seven beautiful journeys filled with connection, laughter, and shared steps.

This time also gave me space to slow down and heal—from an injury I’d been ignoring, and from the rush of always being on the move. I tried something new, something I’d never done before. And through it all, I felt grounded, grateful, and proud of what we’ve built.

Sometimes the trail doesn’t lead where you expect—but it still takes you somewhere meaningful. I’m showing up, wherever it leads next.
