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.
