About me

An armed forces kid, I was born with a travelers feet and since i can remember, moving around, new surrounding, different cultures was the normal. Pursued Mountaineering while running my first Venture, a communications consultancy specialized in brand and reputation management. While i was always clear about my dream to engage in social impact, the path became clearer when the Mountains opened up a new magical world to me. I started looking at how I can apply myself to the challenges faced by the communities living in the Himalayas. We became clear what our intention would be, we decided to protect, revive and build pride for the Indigenous Cultures that have been at the core of existence and kept us rooted to earth. We also realized that travel is a very big influencer and is shifting Indigenous food habits, cultural ethnicity of the communities and the exodus of youth from their homelands in search of a perceived value and respect that can be found only in cities.

Indigenous Trails was initiated with the intention to curate conversations between the key elements of the Travel Eco System, bring together a more balanced approach through an inclusive approach, protect the Indigenous Cultures while curating journeys with the stories of our ancestors at the heart of the experiences and reconnecting the travels back to the roots. We develop and curate content, journeys, experiences for Travel Companies who are looking at contributing back to the Terra, work with government on inclusion of local communities in the dialogue and create a Economically sustainable model while protecting the cultural Ethnicity of Indigenous Communities and give a voice to them in the entire process. We work as a connector between the host destinations, the untold stories, powerful experiences and Travel world to facilitate beautiful Experiences.

Every destination that we engage with, we are committed to engaging with the local communities to develop the most essential collective dreams through the abundance that exists within and the extended networks in a collective, fun and participatory manner and of course on the foundation of Indigenous Wisdom and ancestral knowledge.
