"Within the embrace of the wilderness, where sunlight dances on leaves and rivers whisper secrets, my heart finds its rhythm and my soul finds its peace."

I am Ritika Furtado Sharma, and I'm on an enchanting journey that melds my love for wildlife photography, my passion for travel, and my commitment to nurturing mental well-being. Nature is my canvas, and through the lens of my camera, I strive to capture its raw magnificence, weaving stories that evoke emotions and connect hearts to the wild.

From the mysterious depths of dense forests to the vast expanses of serene landscapes, I seek out these hidden corners of the world to immortalise the wonders that unfold before me. My travels are more than just adventures; they are spiritual quests that fuel my creativity and deepen my bond with the natural world.

Yet my journey goes beyond photography. As a Director at Aikya The One, an organization dedicated to advancing mental health in India for the past 2 decades, I've discovered my true calling. Weaving nature into the fabric of emotional balance has been profoundly rewarding. Guiding others on a path to discover this harmony has become my passion.  I firmly believe in the transformative power within each of us. We possess the capacity to turn our lives around, to become better versions of ourselves, and to craft the lives we aspire to lead. In addition, I hold a deep conviction in the inherent healing and rejuvenating power of the great outdoors. Whether it's a contemplative walk in the woods, a meditative session in serene surroundings, or simply immersing oneself in the symphony of nature's sounds, these experiences have the potential to lead us to a place of serenity and mental equilibrium.
