Arjun Singh Bhogal is an adventurer, writer and public speaker currently based in Melbourne.
He is famous for his epic journey covering over 25,000 kilometres (over 15,500 miles) on foot to raise awareness for clean water access.
Arjun had planned this journey with a friend, although it later became a solo mission for him to finish what was started in 2012.
It sounded difficult but ‘achievable’ for this UK-based traveller who walked through harsh conditions with only a backpack from the Welsh city of Cardiff in the UK to the other Cardiff - in New South Wales, Australia.
He told SBS Punjabi that his journey was inspired by the millions of people around the world who walk tens of kilometres every day to source clean and safe water for them and their families.
Arjun's walking route spanned across east European forests, Kazakh deserts (in summer), Kyrgyz mountains (in winter), then through India, South-East Asian jungles and island chains, and then across the vast expanse of the Nullabor on the Australian continent ending his journey in the New South Wales town of Cardiff in May 2017.
