2025 Outdoor Blueprint
This year I want to stop betraying my endless longing for mountains. For too long I have pacified myself with fragmentary experiences, a solo day hike here or a group trip there. These brief encounters have sustained me, but constant plotting and waiting to find the ideal blend between being outdoors and other commitments in life has kept nourishment away. 2025 is the terrain where I want to create conditions for genuine alignment with this persistent longing. What follows are not merely objectives or destinations, but pathways of becoming—cartographies of possibility where physical training, philosophical inquiry, and wilderness encounter converge into a unified expression of authentic presence.
Here's what I have planned (in progress, last updated on 22 March 2025).
April:
- Hiking Kais Dhar and Chambagarh Fort.
May:
- Bir Running Festival 11k Race on 18 May.
Tentative:
- Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) sometime between August to November.
- A traverse in Ladakh sometime between June to October.
