Who We Are
We are corporates who sold our souls to Mother Nature
Aniruddha Sur
Managing Partner
Aniruddha has an experience of 20+ years in MNCs as a Program Manager, but his first love has always been forests, traveling and photography. Many of his photographs have been published in Discover India and other journals.
Aniruddha is the brain behind Himalayan Odyssey and it fulfills his long pending dream of consolidating passions for photography, birding and hospitality. He had great luck of patching with like-minded friends who come from different corporate backgrounds with the same passion for nature. He, with his friends, conceptualized and designed the Himalayan Odyssey concept.
Aniruddha is also actively involved with noted wildlife NGOs like SPOAR, Nature Mates and HEAL.
Saumen Das
Managing Partner
Saumen has an experience of 20+ years in Information Technology. Having spent over a decade and vastly experienced in the shipping industry as a director/administration of his shipping company, he is also a self-trained skilled chef on continental cuisines.
He travelled a lot in search of scenic beauty and at last he was mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty of the small village of Kolakham. When he learned that some of his friends were planning to make a unique handmade homestay in the forests of Neora Valley Reserve in Kolakham, he decided to contribute his ideas in the long pending dream of his friends because of their same interests and passion for nature. Himalayan Odyssey is now standing on the ground of these joint efforts.
Beena Mathew
Partner
Beena is an outdoorsy person and a compulsive traveler focused on creating meaningful and lasting experiences. She has spent quite a few years in the US as part of her corporate career stint and that is when she made most of the hiking, trekking and fell in love with exploring nature.
While she is engaged in her career of 20+ years in building learning capabilities, she continues to be an integral part of the design and set-up of Himalayan Odyssey, along with her friends!
She is a distance runner and a dog-mom and hopes to move closer to the mountains with her dogs in the foreseeable future.
