Informazioni sull'autore

About the Author Sumit better known as Summit was born at Shimla in 1967. His father, a railway engineer by profession and also a well known Urdu poet under the pen name of Talat Irfani, was never interested in leaving Shimla. But because of his official transfers had to move first to Rohtak and then to Delhi. Summit’s phase of academic education was spread over these three towns. Despite being a nature lover and a writer on nature based themes he could not acquire the culture of large towns. Shimla has always been his first love. After doing his Post Graduate Diploma in Tourism Summit jumped into the field of Tourism and returned to the town he yearned for in 2000 Here he tells stories, conducts educational camps for school children, writes books on his travels, works as a Heritage Guide and a Tour Leader to lead trips to the hidden valleys of Indian Western Himalaya. He also helps those British who return to Shimla looking for their family history. In his own words, ‘It is impossible for me to live away from the mountains as they travel like blood in my veins and when I inhale; they enter my mind and body’. • Sumit was the first one to introduce Heritage Walk in Shimla and in time his walks have become famous. • Sumit is the first one to start Cemetery Tourism in Himachal Pradesh. He highlighted the Cemeteries in Shimla through his blogs and online articles. • Has a website as www.shimlawalks.com • Appeared in many Travel Shows on Star News and Fox History. The best appearance is in the program called 'It Happens Only in India’ on Fox History Channel, telling the story of Barog tunnel. The program was on air in February 2010. • In 2011, Sumit was selected to Support Robin Bousted by Mr. Maninder Kohli - son of Captain M. S. Kohli, the first Indian to climb Everest. Robin was on his way to cross the entire length of Indian Western Himalayas from Nepal till Ladakh. The entire trek was completed in 3 months.
