There is a major incident behind why I’m in this field and perhaps that was a turning point of my life.

I’m from Vijaynagar, a town 12  km from Polo Forest. As a kid, I used to visit the lush green forest to chill out. One day I saw a group of tourists  — they were from England and I was surprised to see them. At that time, it was a rare incident that any tourists from foreign countries visited Polo Forest. But what even surprised me more was the guide. He was not a native and barely knew about this ancient forest. In fact, the information he shared was fabricated and sensationalized.

This made me think about it. Polo Forest, the biodiverse wonderland which was once an ancient city, a hiding place for rulers, home to many tribes, flora and wildlife has a significantly rich legacy. The world needs to know about it. And being native, grown-up learning about its history and spending years playing in this forest it’s my duty to do so — I found my purpose.

Now it’s been more than a decade I’ve been researching and spreading knowledge about Polo Forest and its heritage. I’ve been supported by many locals and Gujarat Tourism in my endeavour.  I also ventured my own adventure travel and tour company Polo Safari that organizes tours to this ancient heritage forest and many other destinations including Manali, Panchmari, Shimla and Leh Ladakh, Goa, Kerala, Northeast, Jammu and Kashmir and more.
