Hi, I’m Manav

Full-time hiker & outdoor educator.

I have hiked 11000+ kms and pioneered mapping & documentation of trails in India for the independent hiking community.

I want to help make the outdoors more accessible to a regular person and I do that through outdoor education, community & technology.

I share everything I know and teach how to hike independently — without compromising on safety.

Speaking requests (talks, podcasts, events)

• I love spreading awareness about the outdoors, making it more accessible to a larger audience in India. I share actionable & practical insights from my experience of hiking over 11,000 kms.
• Recent podcast : Decathlon (It was their longest podcast with the highest engagement among all episodes).

Brand sponsorship

• Open to proposals from brands or organizations who are aligned with my goal of making outdoors more accessible to a regular person through outdoor education & community building.
• I strictly do not engage in barter deals or affiliate programs.

Workshops or courses for your organization or audience

• I regularly teach outdoor navigation, hiking techniques, safety and related topics.
• Workshops and courses can be customized to suit the needs of the attendees.
