I love to Trek in Indian Himalayas, have covered most of the Treks in my home state of Uttarakhand, Himachal, Jammu and Kashmir and Tibet. Travelling is passion, learning about people and their respective cultures, what is their favourite food since I was a Chef myself I love to cook, so I am always interested in what people from different parts of the world like to eat and drink. Love cycling around in cross countryside roads of my hometown Rishikesh, I am a proud owner of a Giant XTC 7.
I consider myself a warm and cordial host and hosting people comes naturally to me, it would be a great honour to serve people who are like minded and love exploring this beautiful world and cherish life to the fullest :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh I've bungee jumped from India's Highest Jumping Point ;)

And went all alone to Tibet when I was 25 and did a Kora (Circumambulation) of Mt. Kailash during which I crossed Dolma La at around 20,000ft

Went skinny dipping at Lake Mansarovar 15,500 ft. and also at Satopanth Lake 15,100 ft.

Crossed Tanglang La 17,300 ft at around 9:30 PM at Night during a hailstorm on my Bullet 500 cc (Trust me it was deadly)

Solo cycling ride of around 150 kms in Himalayas, Rishikesh 1000ft to Kanatal 8500ft and back :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach fellow couchsurfers Indian cooking.

Also, basics of Vedic Indian Astrology, as the subject of astrology is very large won't be possible to teach entire thing in just few days, but can definitely do individual charts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel experience, cooking skills, ride around if possible.
