I am deeply associated with the Tourism industry for the last sixteen years. Having traveled extensively in India I consider it privileged to introduce myself as a Professionally Qualified and an Experienced Tour Companion.
After completing my Graduation from Maharishi Dayanand University – Rohtak in 1990 in two major subjects, Geography & Military Science, I found that my passion lay in promoting nature. My future lied somewhere in the hills. So I owe debt of gratitude to a close family friend of ours who had retired from the Tourism Department of Himachal Pradesh. He suggested that I should first earn a Diploma in Tourism Management from Delhi University which I completed in 1992.
Thereafter, there was no looking back for me. I joined Imaginative Tours (P) Ltd. Delhi as a Tour Executive in 1993 and another company called Connexions in 1996. Both were Inbound Tour Operating Companies based in Delhi whose basic market lay in Germany, Finland and USA. I was required to prepare itineraries, cost them and then send them to agents in foreign countries. Escorting tourist was another essential part of my assignment.
I left them and returned to Shimla, my hometown in 2000 and began to work as a freelance Tour Escort and Heritage Tour Guide
. As A Tour Companion : A visitor who comes from a far away place to see our country, deserves to be given an insight into the knowledge of everything he wants to see, know or visit.
In last Sixteen year I have accompanied and assisted a number of Tourists from different parts of the world. Escorting for me is not only Accompanying Tourists, Helping them Check into hotels, Coordinating with the Local Agents, Guides & Cab Drivers, Buying Entrance tickets for visits such as to Museums / Monuments and other sightseeing attractions or Looking after the meals being served in time, but it is also to interact with them on topics such as Religion, History, Lifestyle, Culture, Cricket, Politics, Judiciary, Education, Military, Police, Marriages, Society, Partition, Militancy, Tourist Arrivals, Old Age Homes, Heritage, Challenges of Tourism, Traffic Problem, Maintenance of Roads – The list is endless.
Tourists want to know more and more and they deserve that too. Guides are availab
