Kashi stayed with me for 10 days, but it gave me lessons that will stay with me for much longer.
This journey was not just about travel, it was about feeling, observing, and understanding life in a deeper way. The streets, the energy, the people, and the silence hidden inside the chaos taught me many things.

I am overwhelmed. When I started the trek to Bada Bhangal, I didn't know if I could make it, let alone that 500k of you would join me on this journey virtually.

Thank you for supporting this documentary and the stories of the people living in the toughest terrain of Himachal. 🙏

Next Goal: 1 MILLION VIEWS! 🚀 If you haven't watched the full documentary yet, click the link below and witness the hidden frontier of the Himalayas! 👇

I knew this wouldn’t go viral. But I still went.

I went to Bada Bhangal — a place with no roads, no network, no electricity — where reaching itself takes almost a month and nearly everything I had earned.

I shared this journey on my 6th YouTube anniversary, knowing that after all the effort, risk, and dedication, it might barely cross 10,000 views.

So why did I do it?

I still don’t have a clear answer.
Maybe some journeys aren’t meant for algorithms.
Maybe they’re meant to shape the person who walks them.

I’m confused in this phase of life, but I don’t regret going.
And maybe one day, this journey will make sense. 🏔️
