Varanasi to Coimbatore
Embarking on an extraordinary journey from the historic city of Varanasi to the vibrant city of Coimbatore, we aim to cover 2100km – 2200km in 42-45 days. This walk is not just a physical challenge; it’s a quest for self-discovery, cultural immersion, and an opportunity to connect with the heart of India. Join us as we traverse diverse landscapes, meet new people, and share stories that inspire and resonate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What inspired the walk?
The inspiration comes from a desire to challenge ourselves
How many kilometers will you walk each day?
We plan to walk 10hrs a day.
What challenges do you anticipate?
We expect physical challenges, weather uncertainties, and logistical hurdles, but we’re prepared to face them with determination.
How does one prepare?
We suggest walking as often as possible, ideally five days a week. Our recommended schedule is as follows: 10 miles on three days, 15 miles on one day, and 20 miles on another day.
Have you done anything like this before ?
No, this is our first venture into something of this magnitude. However, it’s the allure of the unknown and the thrill of adventure that motivates us for this journey.
What if any of us want to quit mid-way.
We suggest not embarking on this walk. However, if you find yourself needing to leave midway, we recommend catching an Uber, taxi, or even a helicopter to the nearest airport and making your way home. It’s best not to join if you anticipate leaving before the journey’s end. 🙂
Do we know where we will stay ?
No, we’re keeping it open-ended. Our accommodations might range from hotels or villages to local shops, or even beneath a tree. We’re embracing the unpredictable, without meticulous planning. If you prefer a well-planned adventure, this journey might not align with your style. 🙂
How many people you are expecting to join this walk ?
We’re looking for a select few who are truly committed to this challenge. A small, dedicated group aligns better with our vision than a large crowd. Regardless, we’re set on this journey.
What should we expect from you or YogaNebula ?
Nothing:) , You shouldn’t expect us to take care of you; while we’ll walk together, the journey is individual. We may share laughter, conversations, and paths, but each of us will navigate the surprises that arise from Varanasi to Coimbatore firsthand. Surprises for you will be surprises for us, too. Remember, we anticipate physical challenges, weather uncertainties, and logistical hurdles, yet we’re resolute in facing them with determination and continuing our walk. This isn’t an experience or tour we’re offering; it’s your journey, your body. We’re merely companions on this path
What is the cost for this ?
There’s nothing you need to pay us; as mentioned, you’re on your own, and we are simply companions on this journey. You’ll handle your own ticket bookings, and if you choose to arrive early, you’re welcome to do so. You have the freedom to make your own choices 🙂 . We will provide the exact time and date for our meeting in Varanasi, and from there, we’ll start our walk. That’s all there is to it 🙂
How much or what should we pack ?
Remember that we are embarking on this journey independently, without the assistance of porters, sherpas, or support vehicles 🙂 . Therefore, it’s crucial to pack light. Personally, we’ll be carrying just an extra pair of clothes, a bottle of water, and a local Indian phone – that’s it. You’re welcome to bring anything you can comfortably carry on your own 🙂
Can we meet the organizers in person ?
Yes, you can meet the organizers in person in either LA, NYC, or Delhi. Please mention your preference in the form below, and we will arrange a meeting before we embark on our journey. Additionally, we’ll also conduct a Zoom call for those who can’t meet in person. Stay tuned for updates.
Is there any spiritual aspect to this journey ?
This journey is far from ordinary. Given India’s vast cultural diversity and spiritual richness, we anticipate encountering places of power that will transform us. We plan to embark on a modest sadhana at the outset, but the places we’ll visit and the people we’ll meet remain a mystery to us.
What is the starting date and end date of this walk ?
Our journey commences on January 12, 2025, in Varanasi, with an anticipated arrival in Coimbatore by February 25, 2025. Please be aware that while the start date is set, the end date may extend by a few days.
