Climbing Mountains & Breaking Barriers: The Bohemian Adventurers’ Story

On this episode of The SVee Show, I had a one-of-a-kind conversation with not one, but three amazing women—Anusha Subramanian, Sashi Bahuguna, and Guneet Puri. They’re the founders of Bohemian Adventures, a group that's making mountain adventures fun, safe, and inclusive for everyone.
Their story started with a shared love for mountaineering back in 2009. After volunteering during the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, they were inspired to do more and in 2014, Bohemian Adventures was born.
Since then, they’ve led treks for people with disabilities, kept safety front and center, and created opportunities for women in mountaineering through training and internships. Their journey is full of heart, courage, and breaking boundaries.
