After using it for almost 8-9 years, she switched to DSLR. After being into Landscape photography till 2015, she also added bird photography and Macro Photography, which she is enjoying the most now. One of her works found place in the Alliance Francaise 2012 calendar on ‘Women’s Planet’.


She worked in a reputed Bank for 24 years and then resigned to continue her passion of trekking and travelling. She has been trekking in Sahyadris and Himalayas since 1991. She also leads groups to the Himalayas. She has done many Himalayan expeditions including Lamkhaga Pass, Everest Base Camp (twice) etc.


She is Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. She went through rigorous training for 14 years. She also learned Hindustani Classical Tabla for more than 6-7 years.
