I am the Founder and Trek Leader at Mountain Hikes, an Uttarakhand-based trekking and adventure travel company dedicated to showing travellers the majestic beauty of the Himalayas.
With 6+ years of hands-on experience in trekking and adventure tourism, I organize and lead Himalayan treks while focusing primarily on safety, unmatched service quality, and memorable experiences for every traveller.
I have completed both the Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) and Advanced Mountaineering Course (AMC) from premier Indian mountaineering institutes. My expertise spans comprehensive trek planning, mountain team management, high-altitude operations, technical guiding, and coordinating rigorous high-altitude trekking expeditions.
