Turban traveller Amarjit Singh Chawla has set out on a journey of 200 countries after paying obeisance at the Golden Temple. A 64-year-old Delhi resident Chawla said the journey would end after covering a distance of 5,00,000 km and take 1,000 days.

He embarked on the journey with his wife Gursharan Kaur and two colleagues. He said the journey was spread across seven continents. They would explore and experience diverse cultures, cuisines, music and spirituality of each continent, said Chawla.

He said, “We will also visit historic gurdwaras and document them through videos showcasing the Sikh heritage and teachings of Sikh gurus.” During the journey, they would be sharing their experiences and adventures on various social media platforms. Daily vlogs would be posted on social media.
