Trekking and exploring Himalayan region from last 15 years. I organise Treks and Tours in Himalayan regions of India and Nepal. Running my own organisation of adventure sports and outdoors and off-road expeditions (HimalayanGypsie) . Born and brought up in Himalayan state Of India (Himachal Pradesh) . Traveller from Himalayas and an Adventure enthusiast.
As per my family business I also play a farmer role as we have Apple, Pear, Kiwi, Plum and Cherry farms.

As for now my personal business is almost established and everything is going smoothly , I want to explore the world beyond the Himalayas as I'm very much prone to travel so I crave to learn and indulge with people from different cultures and traditions. In short to live and experience a life like a local during my travels to different parts of the world.

I'm a mellow person but always get excited once you throw me out in nature. Be it an adventure or any chores/work or any kind of help I am always up for it as I always believe in doing.
I always believe in socializing as it does not only help me to understand the humanity but it is the only way to grow and to learn.

Experience -
- I have done approx 102 treks in Himalayan region ( India - Nepal) in which 75 treks I have done Solo as I love to travel and trek solo.
- Expeditions - 10 Mountaineering expeditions above 6000 metres ( India )
- Trans Himalayas Expedition by Road ( 2 times)

About india I have Explored almost all of the remotest to advanced places just the north eastern part of India still remain untouched for me . What ever country i have travelled to so far, I do have experienced commercial and luxury tourism in a few trips but It comes with more cons to an explorer, you never get to know fully about the place you are visiting, the culture and you are only limited till commercial hotspots and as per my thoughts or views on, it is not the best way to travel, as it is not sustainable and responsible tourism.

Current mission -
Looking forward to exploring as much as I can socializing with people from different parts of the world and to have cultural encounters, sharing ideas and vision.

What I believe in -
Live in the moment
Every day offers a new beginning
Never Regret
Explore - Experience - Educate
Learn - Grow - Repeat
Instead of materialistic be realistic
Never forget your roots
Stay calm and Stay positive in every situation
Don't be a tourist be an Explorer
