Yet Pons is determined to make it all the way to China in his bare feet.

He said: “The goal was to cross to India, but they didn’t give us the visa.

“We will go back to Islamabad, get our passports and go back to try to cross the border in China.

“Normally I go without shoes, it’s beautiful. What’s the point of living a life at such a fast pace?

“I started to be slower and slower and slower, until I started to go through the world slowly, appreciating the details of life.

“We only had the desire to complete the union with Allah or God, and this is our way of praying and practicing: walking.”
