In a journey that redefines the bond between humans and pets, 28-year-old Yati Gaur from Noida and his canine companion, Butter, are on an extraordinary mission: walking across India on foot.
This journey, dubbed the "Longest Walk of India," aims to cover all four dhams of the Char Dham Yatra and the 12 Jyotirlingas, stretching over thousands of miles.
Yati, a former cinema student, traded the allure of the silver screen for the open road two years ago. Since then, he has walked over 13,000 kilometers, immersing himself in the diverse landscapes and cultures of India.
The journey is not just about covering distance but about deepening his understanding of life, his country, and its people. Butter, his scruffy and energetic dog, accompanies him every step of the way, embodying the simplicity and joy of this remarkable endeavor.
Yati's journey began during the pandemic in 2020 when he walked from Delhi to Kedarnath, covering ancient paths once trodden by sadhus.
This initial trek sparked a passion that saw him traverse states like Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. Along the way, he adopted Butter, who had lost her mother, and the two became inseparable.
Training Butter to join him on long-distance walks was no easy task. Yati undertook a series of challenging treks in Uttarakhand, testing Butter's endurance and resilience.
The duo officially started their journey together in November 2022. Since then, they have explored various states, walking 20-30 kilometers daily and finding shelter at temples, petrol pumps, and farmers' fields.
Their bond has grown stronger over time, with Yati dedicating most of his 35-kilogram backpack to Butter's needs. Yati has also become adept at administering basic first aid, ensuring Butter’s well-being throughout their journey.
This journey is more than a test of endurance; it's a testament to the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog.
While Yati’s journey is supported by his family and sponsorships, this experience is uniquely personal. For him, and Butter, the walk is about exploring India and learning from its people, one step at a time.
