About

I'm Chris — a mountain person at heart, living where the roads end and the trails begin in the Indian Himalayas. Whether I'm hiking ridgelines at dawn, sending singletrack on my mountain bike, soaring under a paraglider, or crawling my Jimny up a forgotten trail — the mountains are where I feel most alive.

Hiking

From high-altitude passes to hidden valleys — there's nothing like the silence of a Himalayan ridge at sunrise, with nothing but your breath and the wind for company.

Mountain Biking

Singletrack through deodar forests, rocky descents with views that make you forget to brake. The Himalayas were made for two wheels and too much adrenaline.

Paragliding

When you've walked the mountains and ridden them — the only thing left is to fly over them. Catching thermals above the valley floor is the closest thing to pure freedom.

Motorbike Trails & Jimny Adventures

Some of the best roads in the Himalayas aren't roads at all. On a motorcycle or behind the wheel of a Suzuki Jimny, the broken trails, river crossings, and mountain passes become the destination.

Ladakh. Spiti. Kinnaur. The roads that test your grit and reward you with views no highway ever could.
