Gaurav has more than 15 years of experience in trekking the Sahyadris & Himalayas, a flare for writing and photography, and a natural talent for mixing with natives in distant villages and making friends.

After completing his Masters in Statistics, he worked for some of India's leading banks like HSBC and Citibank in the area of Risk Management, before letting his passion fuel his career.

An experienced naturalist, its exrtemely rare that a group led by Gaurav comes back without tiger sightings. Gaurav is an aspiring musician and his mantra in life is to stay hungry and stay foolish. Passion, wit and energy are three things that he carries in his armour.
