Ankit Naithani
Founder, Mountain Guide, Trip Leader
Wandering Boots Adventures is the brain child of Ankit Naithani – the founder, director, and the lead executor of the entire magnum opus.
He is an all rounder at WBA! Trip leading, to planning, to managing operations, to guiding the team, and interacting with trekkers, he is in many places at one time!
Anyone who knows Ankit will vouch for his discipline, hard work, and abundant passion for the outdoors – the mountains, the flora and fauna, the wildlife, jungle trails, summit climbs, life of locals…. the list is never-ending! With an innate and honest intention to share his passion among people, Ankit left his engineering job in Mumbai, took up courses (Basic and Advance Mountaineering Courses, Trip Leader Course, and Wilderness First Responder) and pursued with diligence, his dream of becoming a mountain guide and a trip leader.
His core passion lies in facilitating outdoor experiences, not limited to trekking and summit climbs, but also wildlife spotting, hosting guests, rock climbing, ice climbing, cultural experiences, philanthropic activities, and more!
With this dream and passion was born Wandering Boots Adventures in 2017. Years of discipline, hard work, and perseverance has now grown Wandering Boots Adventures from a single man army to a competent team striving to provide safe, unique, and exemplary outdoor experiences.
With the support of some of the best team mates, Wandering Boots Adventures and Ankit, have successfully completed summits and expeditions like – Stok Kangri, Friendship peak, Mentok Kangri 2, Patalsu Peak, Yunam Peak, among others!
