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 speak about the outdoors, hiking & mountain adventure with a focus on education, community and inclusiveness to help make the outdoors more accessible to a larger audience in India.
• I share actionable tips, practical insights and stories from my experience of hiking & mapping over 11,000 kms over the last 7-8 years (and counting).
• Latest podcast with Decathlon - it is 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.
