Fourth Indus River walk, 28th-31st August 2025

The fourth Indus River walk by Kalpavriksh and Snow Leopard Conservancy India trust was hosted on the banks of river Indus close to Shaara village where the team camped for 3 nights. The group trekked to Shaang valley where they learned about the intrinsic connection of snow leopards and other trans himalayan wildlife with rivers. The walk was filled with creative activities such as river meditations, nature writing, birding, story telling, painting and understanding interdependence of riverine communities including humans and more than humans and lots of singing along the Singee Khababs. The walk was joined by students of Ladakh university, members of Tar village, and members of KV and SLC-IT. 
This year's walk was a constant reminder of how climate change is impacting river ecology, and transforming our ecosystems at an accelerated and drastic rate.

What opens up in us when we are seen by eyes that are not just human. What sort of infinite is opened? One begins to dissolve in fluid, translucent and another shape of awareness. From one of the spectacular evenings of quiet drizzle by grey clouds, cicada chorus, sharp winds, shy full moon.
