Sharath Vishnu (Member Since 8 years 2 months )

Hailing from the southern state of Karnataka, Sharath was exposed to hiking from an early age as a boy scout. He has trekked extensively in the Sahyadris of Karnataka and Maharashtra and was guiding trekkers when he was as young as 17. His first trek in the Himalaya was sufficient to convince him that he wanted a career in the mountains, so he went on to complete his Basic & Advance Mountaineering courses from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering with top grades before he turned 20! He has summitted Draupadi-Ka-Danda II (5670m) in Garhwal Himalaya and has been a part of multiple expeditions to 6000m & 7000m mountains across the Indian Himalayas. He is an avid cyclist who has undertaken several self-supported solo cycle tours to various parts of the country. He also has a thing for classical music and plays the Bansuri, the bamboo flute. True to his personality, Sharath wears multiple hats at the company and does everything from guiding to managing field operations to heading the communications team.
