We're grateful for your support during our crowdfunder. In the first 24 hrs, your donations raised $6k+ for our nonprofit organization. Thank you! Ahead stretch thousands of miles on what remains primarily a listening journey; a true quest of the heart where people, not places, are the destination.

After 13 years walking toward sunrise out of Africa, Out of Eden Walk has stepped out of Asia and onto the shores of North America. Ahead stretch thousands of miles of tundra, boreal forests, and Indigenous homelands.

Inayat Ali is featured in Out of Eden Walk’s story from the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan, “Unseeing a Snow Leopard,” by Paul Salopek, found here: outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/2017-11-unse... Thank you for reading.

"A calm and steadying presence, Inayat opened doors everywhere we went. People instinctively respected him. He had that quality of leadership often associated with traveling scholars or teachers. He certainly taught me. I will miss his wry, self-deprecating humor. RIP, brother.” — Paul Salopek

"Inayat was a member of the Wakhi minority and was a conservationist and humanitarian. He led projects planting thousands of trees in the high, rocky valleys of the Little Pamir and Karakoram ranges. He was deeply committed to educating Wakhi children, whose villages often lack schools."
