TURBAN TRAVLLER: AN ODE TO THE UNSUNG HERO

So we got the chance at a little heart to heart with one of the most beautiful souls out there, “The Turban Traveller”. For those of you who don’t know him, Amarjeet Singh Chawla, a 61 years old and known as “The Turban Traveller”.

This retired businessman has done something that people half his age will still be keeping as their wildest dream, which they hope against hope to fulfil. He drove from Delhi to London 40000 km across 30 countries in Asia & Europe on his Toyota Fortuner SUV in 2018 -2019. After that, he drove 44000 km in 29 States of India along with six neighbouring countries including Pakistan last year 2019-2020 on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Ji's 550th Birth Anniversary on the same SUV. Latest he drove 30000 km and went to all those places where Guru Teg Bhadur Ji travelled in his lifetime. This journey is called “Spiritual Journey of The Turban Traveller- Yatra Sri Guru Teg Bhadur Ji”.
