Hi, I'm Manav — a full-time Speed Hiker, Mapper & Outdoor Educator.

I want to help make the outdoors more accessible for you and each person who wants to hike and explore the great outdoors.

I achieve this through active outdoor education, community building, and creating tools & resources that make a difference.

So far, I have hiked over 11,720 km in the Indian Himalayas, Sahyadri, Nepal & Indonesia. I also pioneered large-scale mapping & documentation of these trails for the independent hiking community in India.

In the coming years, I envision India becoming an international hotspot for hiking & hope to help make it as inclusive, safe and sustainable as possible.

Towards this goal, I regularly conduct field courses, workshops & community hikes. I am also writing a book on hiking.
