Muzaffar Andrabi
Envisioning the world without boundaries at a very young age Muzaffar started his career as a local guide in Kashmir in 1987. He became the first person from Indian subcontinent to lead high profile American groups in over 50 countries starting from Orient (Japan) on one side all the way through India, Middle-East and Africa to Madagascar.
He frequently took up challenging places to explore with his travelers. Places which lacked facilities yet were powerhouses for learning history, art, craft, culture, and architecture. Some of the exotic places he led his tours include overland journeys from Lhasa to Kathmandu, retracing the Ancient silk route, exploring Mongolian Gobi desert for Dinosaur bones, seeking old cities on Trans-Siberian trails.
Muzaffar has now returned back to his homeland – the valley of Kashmir. The plan is to showcase to the world the uniqueness of Kashmir which is unexplored even though tourism has been here longer than most parts of the world.
