This video is unlike anything we’ve done before, and we’re beyond excited to share it with you! For the first time, we’re not just talking about a destination, its stories, or travel tips. Instead, we’re taking you on an entirely different journey—an inspiring conversation with someone who’s truly living his passion.
Meet Ankit Naithani—a mountaineer with a remarkable list of achievements. A true pahadi at heart, though born and raised in Mumbai, Ankit’s story is one of incredible perseverance and transformation. Athletic from a young age, he never imagined that mountaineering would become his calling—but his love for adventure and sports laid the perfect foundation for this extraordinary path.
In this video, Ankit opens up about his journey, sharing the lessons he’s learned along the way, how his experiences shape his work, and how he brings compassion and calm to an otherwise high-pressure field.
We had the incredible opportunity to hike with Ankit to Gaumukh Tapovan, and throughout the trek, we learned so much more about his journey and mindset. It was clear we had to share his story with all of you. We hope that as you watch, you’ll be as inspired by Ankit’s words as we were during the shoot!
Whether you’re planning your first trek or considering a mountaineering course, this interview is sure to inspire you. And, as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts and stories—so don’t forget to share them with us! Enjoy the adventure! 🌄
