About The Time Travelers
The Time Travelers is an Astronomy EdTech company dedicated to reconnecting people with the cosmos. Founded by Abubaker Shekhani, the pioneer of amateur astronomy in Pakistan, The Time Travelers blends science, art, and exploration to make astronomy accessible, inspiring, and unforgettable.
What We Do
We organize Astronomy expeditions to pristine dark-sky locations, giving participants the chance to witness the Milky Way in its full glory, observe planets through powerful telescopes, and learn the stories written in the stars.
Beyond the stars, we are passionate advocates for Dark Sky Preservation in collaboration with the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) and our Dark Sky advocate Abubaker Shekhani, working to protect the night skies from light pollution.
Through our short astronomy courses for schools and homeschoolers—designed by Abubaker Shekhani—students experience hands-on learning through activities, observations, and creative projects that spark curiosity and critical thinking.

THE STORY BEHIND OUR NAME
Why The Time Travelers?
We believe that every journey beneath the stars is a journey through time.
We travel away from the bright lights of our cities, across landscapes and into remote dark skies, in search of a clearer view of the cosmos.
But our journey doesn’t end when we reach our destination.
When we look through a telescope, we look into the past. The light from distant stars, nebulae, and galaxies has traveled across space for years, centuries, or millions of years before reaching our eyes.
In a sense, the farther we look into space, the farther back in time we travel.
We travel through space to explore time.
That is the inspiration behind The Time Travelers — bringing people closer to the universe through exploration, observation, and astronomy.
