Namaste! I'm Deependra Singh Shekhawat, a native of the picturesque town of Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, renowned for the majestic Ranthambhore National Park. With a childhood steeped in the wonders of nature, thanks to my family's deep connection to forest conservation, my passion for wildlife and exploration has flourished. My journey led me to pursue Hospitality Management at Bangalore University, where I delved deeper into the realms of hospitality. With hands-on experience gained from working in a hotel in Ranthambhore, my passion for wildlife safaris and exploration only grew stronger. Driven by a fervent desire to share India's diverse beauty with the world, I embarked on extensive travels, traversing the length and breadth of the country, from the snow-capped peaks of Spiti to the sun-kissed shores of the Andaman Islands, and beyond. These experiences laid the foundation for my venture into the world of travel, where I established a company dedicated to curating unforgettable journeys for fellow travelers. With a keen eye for detail and a team of top-tier naturalists and tour escorts, my mission is to offer unparalleled experiences that showcase the essence of India's rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Ram Ram Sa, may our paths cross in the realm of exploration and discovery
