Abhinav Chandel ‘s story also falls in the category of people who had the courage and vigor to take such a risk. He had a well-paying job but he left it all to pursue his love for traveling. He has been living in the mountains for the last 9 years whereas he mentions has been exploring new areas every now and then, new expeditions to inaccessible areas as part of his work, and his passion for traveling. He has been working with Spiti Holiday in the Spiti region, where his work has helped the tourism enterprise in gaining better recognition amongst the tourists who visit the Himalayas for spending their holidays in midst of mountain peaks and to feel the cold Himalayan breezes.

He has achieved major success using his photography skills, as his picture catalogue of the picturesque Himalayan mountains had made him a social media celebrity as well. He mentions that he has earned quite a hefty amount by selling the pictures clicked by him into prints, buyers appreciated the beautiful scenery caught inside the limited frame area as they witnessed those perfect Himalayan views while sitting on their couch, especially during the COVID when people where stuck inside the four walls of their home. He also got the opportunity to showcase his skills in photography in an exhibition at the Space Gallery at McLeod Ganj. He also has a great interest in writing, he mentions he loves working while sipping a cup of coffee, compiling the best of his poetry, and then finding the perfects photograph that goes along with it and together they take the observer on a mental expedition provoking feelings they’ve never experienced in past.
