Abstract: This is an ethnographic snapshot of an encounter with a Gaddi shepherd in the hills of Himachal Pradesh. The Gaddis are a semi-nomadic pastoral people who live across the Himalayan belt of Northern India. In this piece, I recount how this lone shepherd, with just a slight gesture and in unspoken words, shows me how a journey can be lived unbounded by time
