The Accidental Tourist

The Accidental Tourist
A brilliant but perpetually stressed doctor and her four eccentric friends accidentally trespass into a restricted military zone in Kashmir during a disastrous 'rejuvenating hike'. Detained by a stern, intensely focused Major, they find their lives colliding in unexpected ways amidst the backdrop of military discipline, hidden dangers, and the breathtaking, star-filled mountain sky. What started as a simple wrong turn becomes an adventure that challenges their assumptions about themselves, each other, and the enigmatic man holding their fate in his hands.

The crisp mountain air of the Himalayas felt invigorating, a welcome change from Delhi’s smog. You’d almost forgotten the frustration of the past three hours – the increasingly steep terrain, Aditya’s unwavering certainty that you were on a “scenic shortcut,” Rishi’s malfunctioning GPS, Neha complaining about her ruined manicure, and Priya’s insistent calls for mindful breathing.

But the view from the rocky outcropping made it almost worth it. Almost.

That’s when the soldiers appeared. Five of them, emerging from the trees with weapons raised, faces grim. Your friends froze, hands instinctively going up.

“Well, that escalated quickly,” you muttered, raising your own hands, already assessing the situation with a doctor’s detachment. This was definitely not on the itinerary.
