When I began this journey in April 2021, I never imagined that my objective of Connecting Rural India would receive such a positive response. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged and supported me along the way.
In the same way as the previous season, I concentrated on exploring the rural areas of Rajasthan’s Dungarpur District (Vagad Region).

This season was unique because my clip for Official Guiding Star video was shot on the final day of the season.
Bridging the gap between urban and rural India has already proven to be a fascinating experience. It feels incredible to make a difference in the lives of millions of people from behind the curtain. Local guides tell me about a time when you got lost and Google Maps saved the day.
