Fascinating discussion with Raksha @solopassport regarding @padidiving. From breathing under water, to saving lives. Amazing 👏

The cold season always beckons the adventurer in us. From misty forest trails to rushing rivers, Karnataka along with the rest of India has a lot to offer. It's less about the adrenaline and more about being present.

Open Sky Circles - 2025 Recap

2025 was the year Open Sky Circles truly came alive.

What began as an idea for conscious travel and diving became a movement people wanted to be part of. We registered the company, built strong systems, and curated experiences that were not rushed, not crowded, and never careless.

Open Sky Circles was about access to places many only dream of, and doing it the right way.

From crystal-clear waters of Lakshadweep to the reefs of the Maldives, and from the raw landscapes of Georgia and ruggedness of Kazakhstan to other destinations such as Egypt and more, our retreats were designed for people who wanted more than just a holiday. Intimate groups. Thoughtful itineraries. Time to slow down, learn, and actually experience the place.

Our scuba diving sessions and Scuba Diving 101 talks brought many first-timers into the world of diving. No hype. No shortcuts. Just correct information, safety-first learning, and respect for the ocean. These sessions turned curiosity into confidence and hesitation into commitment.

The travel and diving meet-ups became a space people waited for. Conversations flowed easily. Stories were shared openly. Many came in as strangers and left with dive buddies, travel plans, and long-term connections.

What made Open Sky Circles different this year was intention.
We did not chase volume.
We focused on quality.
Every retreat, every session, and every meet-up was built to feel personal.

Those who joined us did not just travel with Open Sky Circles.
They became part of it.

2025 set the tone.
2026 is going to raise the bar.

If you missed traveling, diving, and building memories with us this year, consider this your sign to not miss the next one.

Happy New Year 2026 by @openskycircles

Raksha Nagaraj grew up in Bangalore with dreams bigger than her city. On paper, her life was perfect: an engineering degree, a stable career as a Product Manager, and a clear path ahead. But deep inside, she felt restless. While others planned their weekends, Raksha planned her next adventure. She longed to see the world, to explore its hidden trails, and to dive into its vast oceans.

It wasn’t easy to leave a secure corporate career, but Raksha knew her heart was elsewhere. She took a leap of faith, embracing uncertainty and trusting her instincts. Traveling solo, especially as a woman, came with questions and doubts. “Is it safe? Why alone? How will you manage?” Each journey answered them. City by city, trek by trek, dive by dive, Raksha discovered courage, independence, and freedom she had never known.

Her love for travel became a calling. Solopassport was born to share her adventures and inspire others to take that first step. In Sydney, Let’s Travel Sydney captures the city’s charm, while back home, Bengaluru Prayana brings together a community exploring the culture, history, and art of Bangalore. Her passion for the ocean led to Open Sky Circles, uniting divers through shared wonder and humility beneath the waves.

Raksha’s journey wasn’t without challenges. Small beginnings, financial uncertainty, and repeated rejections tested her resolve. But every setback became a lesson, every “no” a redirection. She learned the power of persistence, faith, and showing up consistently.

Today, Raksha stands as a beacon for women everywhere. Her message is simple yet powerful: start small, trust yourself, and take that first step. The world is waiting, and courage, curiosity, and heart can turn dreams into extraordinary journeys.
