From Desk to World Trails
Varun, born in New Delhi in 1982, wasn’t always a traveler. With a PhD in Mass Communication, he worked in journalism and government PR. In 2015, he quit to start Mountain Trekker, turning his love for mountains into 400+ videos. His National Tourism Award proves he’s inspiring Indians to travel smart, from Himachal weekends to Thailand months.
Why Fans Love His Vibe
Varun’s videos feel like a chat with a friend. His 10–20-minute YouTube vlogs share hacks, like hitchhiking in Europe or cooking in hostels. His Hindi narration connects with India, breaking down costs—like “₹5,000 for a Bali week!”
- Budget Tips: Visa hacks and cheap stays.
- Real Stories: Local chats in Bangladesh or Ladakh.
- Quick Reels: Packing light for any trip.
His Northeast India series, mixing raw views and local tales, is a fan favorite.
Varun’s charm is his realness. He skips fancy resorts for local markets, bargaining like a pro. His 2025 Arunachal videos are viral, with fans on X asking, “How’s travel so cheap?” Deals with Ethiopian Airlines show his rise, but he stays budget-focused. Living simply in a Delhi flat with a Tata Nano, Varun’s life sparks curiosity.
