The Thar Perspective

Western Thar desert, Rajasthan

Our first journey beyond the familiar Rajasthan: remote desert villages, open land and a pace set by the people who live there.

The Thar Perspective began with a simple question: what lies beyond the dunes, camels and sunsets that most journeys into the desert end with?

On this first edition we travelled slowly into the western Thar, to villages far from the highway, where people have built full lives around little water, steady wind and almost no waste. We listened more than we planned, and let the desert set the pace.

What we learned on this journey shaped everything that came after, including the second edition.
