About Us

“From Dreams to Summits with Experts

Adventure Pulse was founded in 2009 by two college roommates, Sauraj Jhingan and Samir Patham, who were spurred on by their passion for mountaineering and the outdoors. Though they organised a few treks for their friends in their college days, it was a trek to the Everest Base Camp that cemented their ambition, to help as many people enjoy the mountains in a safe and sustainable way.

There was also another ambition that paved the way for the company - the desire to scale Mt Everest, and achieve the pinnacle of mountaineering by reaching the highest point in the world.

Using our experience, we have been able to branch into diverse fields such as Development Programs (OMDP) with corporate companies. Using adventure sports as a platform, we have developed in house “Experiential Learning Programs”, being conducted in Schools, colleges and other educational institutions. We focus on taking Adventure sports to a completely new level by combing it with “Life Skills”' such as Leadership Communication Skill Development as well as enhancing better ‘Interpersonal Skills’.

This unique blend of Adventure Sports and Personality Development creates a fantastic opportunity for self-discovery, compelling our participants to overcome their fears & exceed limitations.

Ayush Kanitkar

Hailing from a defense background and brought up in Pune, Ayush has naturally been inclined towards
the great outdoors as his playground of choice! While he considers himself a true student of the alpine,
and is a qualified mountaineer and skier from NIM, Uttarkashi and IISM, Gulmarg, his love affair with the
mountains began closer to home, amidst the enchanting forests and forts of the Sahyadris!
Over the last decade, he’s traversed the contours of the Western Ghats and the Himalayas, being lucky
enough to experience and document the rich culture and hospitality of quaint hamlets in the hills, the
simplicity of life at altitude, and countless vistas of jagged peaks and beautiful sprawling valleys across
the country. Time spent in the wilderness has always left him refreshed with a sense of contentment,
and it’s this unique emotion and sense of wonder he hopes to facilitate for others, through offbeat
adventures in the mountains!

Murphy

Murphy is the furry, friendly, canine member of our Adventure Pulse Team. A Labrador Retriever by origin, he struggles to associate with other dogs, rather, sharing a greater comradery with our Team members. With an added advantage of four paws, and a warm woof, he runs up and down, constantly checking on every trekker in the group, before racing off up the hill. Despite the honorary title of Chief Security Officer, he spends the better part of the day in Office, sleeping. However, when he steps outdoors, he leaps into action, from hiking the Sahyadri hills, swimming in lakes to even attempting to rappel on a few occasions. Having been with Adventure Pulse for the last 9 years, Murphy has dedicated the better part of his life in pursuit of conveying warmth and affection in all our Adventures.
