Karthik Maddineni
Karthik was a Trek Leader with Indiahikes. Hailing from a family where no one treks, he got into outdoor adventures by reading Enid Blyton as a child. He has travelled extensively to nooks and corners of India, often on tight budgets, hitching rides from truck drivers and camping under the sky. He started trekking too as a solo trekker until he took up trekking professionally at Indiahikes.
