Maninder Kohli is a chip off the old block. He is the son of legendary Himalayan mountaineer, Capt. Manmohan Singh Kohli, member of India's first expedition to the summit of Everest (and the first man to introduce trekking in the Himalayas). Maninder earlier worked with Citibank for 20 years, and has found that adventure is a great way to unwind from the stresses of modern corporate life .
From: New Delhi, IndiaI was drawn to the mountains at an early age and over the years, my travels have taken me across the Himalayas and to more than a few places around the world. Besides trekking, I have also gone climbing, skiing, rafting and mountain biking. But my main passion is trekking in unexplored areas - I have taken part in more than 30 treks in various locations in the Indian Himalaya. I believe in, and strongly advocate, people taking to the outdoors. I feel that the "right" introduction to adventure can be a huge value-add in everyone's life. Currently, in addition to acting as the Managing Trustee of the Himalayan Environment Trust, and Honorary Local Secretary of the Himalayan Club, I am also closely associated with the Indian Mountaineering Foundation .
