Funder & Guide
I’m the person behind @the_himalayas_wayfarer – born and raised in Pithoragarh, where the mountains aren’t just scenery, they’re a way of life.
A passionate trekker, hiker, and adventure traveler, I’ve spent years exploring hidden valleys, remote trails, and sacred peaks across Uttarakhand and beyond.
I’m also the founder of Pithoragarh Backpackers, a community built for people who believe in chasing horizons, respecting nature, and discovering the Himalayas off the beaten path.
For me, every trek is more than a route—it’s a story, a memory, and a step closer to the soul of these mountains.
Let’s keep wandering.
