        Our long-term vision encompasses integration of the various facets of adventure and sustainable          tourism. We train local youth as professional guides and create in them an awareness of
     the importance for conservation of the unique ecosystem and its biodiversity

Established in 1988, Himalayan River Runners is one of the first rafting outfits in India. HRR has many firsts to its credit, including pioneering many river descents in India to popularising rafting beach camps and the development of sustainable tourism

Yousuf Zaheer, Founder and Managing Director of HRR, had a passion for the challenges of the great outdoors from his high school days. His exploratory mountaineering expedition spanning two decades from the late seventies saw several ascents and the opening of new mountaineering and trekking routes in the Indian Himalaya. His rafting career began in 1984 being the first Indian national to be trained by the North Americans and Canadians who introduced professional white water rafting to India.  Yousuf went on to raft overseas in the USA and Canada and captained the Indian team at the first international rafting competition in Switzerland in 1987, where India stood third overall. Today, most of the rivers which have been rafted in India were pioneered by
Yousuf and his HRR team.

Ganeve Rajkotia, an avid and experienced outdoors person and mother of two, is Yousuf’s spouse and business partner. Her training and work in film production and her organisational skills have provided the HRR Enterprise with the discipline and focus that is evident in the Organisation
