Mini bio

How it started.

Varun began his working life at Navbharat Times after journalism school at IIMC in New Delhi. Meeting foreign backpackers helped him see how far a modest travel budget could go.

Finding his audience.

He recalls recording a Bangladesh border crossing on his phone and sharing the practical details in Hindi. Overland travel videos helped turn that impulse into Mountain Trekker. By February 2020, the channel had reached one million subscribers.

Helping others travel.

His channel pairs journeys with practical advice for budget travelers. He also founded Tourist Helpline, a community where travelers exchange advice and find companions. In Berlin, the project joined Startup Incubator Berlin’s Startup Now programme in 2025.
