Ian Preece has travelled extensively as a professional geophysicist, itinerant adventurer and in recent years has been the Hindustan Trekking Company’s resident photographer.  It was from Ian’s experience of taking pictures in remote regions and mountains across the world that the idea for the photo-safaris and treks was borne to give adventurous photographers the best possible opportunity to capture the ‘picture of a lifetime’ on Vikram’s amazing treks.

A stunning view, our host Vikram “Mulberry” Maira raised the bar in hospitality. Super food, excellent advice on how to spend the day and general guidance on trekking was really appreciated..
