This spring, WE ARE TRAVELLERS 🌏 set out on a soulful journey through Kashmir — not just across stunning landscapes, but into the heart of peace, connection, and shared humanity ✨.
I arrived in Kashmir a few days before the group, and from the very beginning, the warmth was overwhelming.
My local friends Wahid Bhai and Junaid Bhai, and the hotel staff welcomed me with kind smiles 😊.
Our taxi drivers — Mushtak Bhai and Imran Bhai 🚖 — shared stories of the valley with pride. Shikara driver Fayaz Bhai ⛵️ served us tea with love on Dal Lake and told us the beautiful history of this timeless place.
Even the tuk-tuk driver 🛺 ensured we reached safely, always waving goodbye like an old friend.
Every moment felt safe. Every soul felt like home 🏡. Together with four inspiring women from Russia — Anna, Irina, Olga, and Anna — we explored the soul of Kashmir 🧭.
We laughed 😂, reflected, meditated 🧘♀️, and created unforgettable memories filled with peace and connection.
Pahalgam especially touched our hearts ❤️.
The mountains stood tall like guardians ⛰️, the rivers whispered serenity 🌊, and the silence healed something deep within.
But then came 22nd April... The heartbreaking news of a terrorist attack 💔 in Mini Switzerland, where we had just shared peaceful moments, shook us deeply.
Over 27 innocent lives were lost 🕊️.
How can hatred reach a place so heavenly?
As travellers, we don’t just walk to explore —
We walk to connect 🤝.
To share stories 📖.
To spread love ❤️.
To live peace — without borders 🌿.
This is why we walk.
This is why we meet.
This is why we believe.
To the innocent souls lost — We pray for your peace and light 🕯️. To those who carry hate — May you awaken to the sacredness of every human life 🙏.
Thank you from the heart to the participants who made the WAT Spring Expedition so meaningful — Anna, Irina, Olga, and Anna — your spirit, courage, and openness made this journey unforgettable ✨.
This is not the end.This is the beginning of something greater. Because WE ARE TRAVELLERS — not just by path, but by purpose 🌍.
Om Shanti 🙏🌍❤️☮️
