Once Upon a Metta Camp

Once Upon A Metta Camp is a tender collection of travel stories that—describe the events that took
place at a mountain retreat called Metta Camp. Rooted in the author’s own search for quiet, these
are stories that attempt to capture the magic of nature and the grace of pausing in a world that’s
always rushing ahead.
Blending travel writing with storytelling, Nayanika Bhatia writes to give the reader a glimpse of the
inner and outer landscapes she has journeyed through: from chai by the window to the flight of the
magpies. Her words invite you to listen to stillness, to notice the way light moves through leaves,
and to rediscover the sacred in the simple. Part memoir, part meditation, this book is for anyone
craving rest, meaning, and a gentle pause from the noise—a quiet companion for your own inward
journeys.
