Ajeet Bajaj
MANAGING DIRECTOR, SNOW LEOPARD ADVENTURES
Snow Leopard Adventures was founded in the ’90s when adventure tourism was still in its nascent stage in India. The man behind the company, Ajeet Bajaj, is a daredevil himself. He is a Padma Shri awardee, and also the first Indian to complete the Polar Trio by skiing to the North Pole, the South Pole, and the Greenland Ice Cap. By Adila Matra
Adventure tourism is growing in popularity. How did you come up with the idea of starting Snow Leopard Adventures, and what unique experiences do you offer adventure enthusiasts?
My expeditions and travels across the world exposed me to the vast potential of adventure tourism. For me, adventure isn’t just a hobby; it’s a passion and a profession. Recognising India’s diverse landscapes brimming with unexplored avenues, I was inspired to establish Snow Leopard Adventures in 1990. Our mission is to offer genuine, unforgettable, and sustainable experiences that bring individuals closer to nature. We meticulously curate trips including river rafting, trekking, mountaineering, sea kayaking, and wildlife safaris, both in the Indian subcontinent and globally.
You’ve received numerous awards and recognitions for your contributions to adventure and tourism. What achievements are you most proud of in your career?
