Trek Journal.

Past hikes, routes, and stories from the Sahyadris and beyond.

A long-form log of every trail I've walked — what worked, what didn't, what to bring, what to skip. Built slowly, written honestly. Drafts are scouting; published entries are first-person finished accounts.

Volume One — Drafts in progress. First entries publish alongside the 2026 monsoon season.

The journal is being written between treks. The fastest way to read it is to walk it — register for the upcoming Garbett dates.
