About Tulan Hayat
Four decades of slow, deliberate travel — and the stories, people, and landscapes that shaped them.
A lifetime spent wandering with purpose
I never set out to visit every country or tick boxes on a list. My travels have always been about staying longer, looking closer, and letting places change me rather than rushing through them.
From Himalayan trails to Saharan dunes, from quiet Aegean harbours to remote Andean valleys, this is where I share the honest, unsponsored version of a travelling life.

The road so far
Places & milestones
The first long walk
A three-month overland trip that turned a curious traveller into a lifelong wanderer.
Into the Himalayas
Months spent trekking remote passes and learning the rhythm of mountain communities.
Crossing the Sahara
Nights under desert stars and long days navigating an endless sea of dunes.
Putting it into words
Started documenting the journeys in earnest — field notes that became this travelogue.
What guides me
How I travel
Slow & intentional
Staying longer in fewer places, learning local rituals instead of rushing between sights.
Honest & unsponsored
No paid placements or luxury fluff — just practical, truthful accounts of what a place is really like.
Respectful & low-impact
Travelling lightly, supporting local communities, and leaving each place as I found it.
