Vishal Monga

With a degree in Hotel Management, Vishal found himself with two options at the start of his career—serving guests in a hotel or travelling with them around the world. The second seemed more interesting, which resulted in him working for Jet Airways for 7 years in in-flight services. But Vishal soon realized that being in a jungle or in the mountains was way better than being locked up in a capsule at 35,000 feet. He joined Junglelore in 2014 , leading tour groups to various Tiger reserves and Himalayan destinations across India. Vishal also loves cycling and takes frequent road trips with family and friends to fulfill his love for driving.
