TrailBliss Story
The story of TrailBliss is complex yet has a simplicity that will resonate with many of you. There was no singular “aha” moment or spontaneous epiphany, it was a slow evolution of an idea. Growing up on a farm under the shadows of the mighty Himalayas sowed a seed of love for nature that bloomed when I first visited Zion National Park and fell in love with the sublime beauty. The love transformed into reverence as I traveled near and far.
During one of these travels, Thich Nhat Nanh’s book found me and led me to mindfulness. I soaked up the wisdom of mindfulness masters to learn, grow, and live my best life - a mindful life. Then the stars aligned and we moved to Washington with immense forests to explore and peaks to climb. My heart overflowed with pure joy as I experienced the power of nature blended with mindfulness.
TrailBliss is born out of those moments of pure joy in 2022; TrailBliss is a sincere wish to share this joy with others. It is a space for people to connect with each other, with the natural world, and with their own inner selves. TrailBliss strives to inspire and empower people to connect with the natural world in mindful, meaningful ways, and to create a brighter, more connected future for us all.
As we continue on this journey, I am reminded of the words of John Muir, "In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks." TrailBliss's goal is to help people receive that gift of nature in all its wonder and beauty.
A bit about me
Hello there! I'm Sarvinder, the founder of TrailBliss and a self-proclaimed National Parks nerd. I am hopelessly in love with mountains and alpine lakes, and consider myself lucky to call Washington home. In the vast tapestry of existence, I am a thread weaving the story of meaningful contributions, soulful relationships, and unbounded personal growth.
I believe in the power of nature and mindfulness to ride the ebbs and flows of life with grace. The pursuit of knowledge and a deep curiosity led me to become a certified teacher in yoga and mindfulness. TrailBliss is my attempt to share my humble learnings with others. I volunteer with King County Search and Rescue, Washington Trail Association and Eastside Friends of Seniors.
I enjoy photography, pottery, books and traveling with my family.

see you at a trailhead!
