Hello! I’m Sandeep Chauhan, a solo traveler from India. By profession I’m in software, but my true passion is traveling — exploring temples, trekking in the Himalayas, and meeting amazing people.

For me, traveling is not just about destinations, it’s about the people, the stories, and the spiritual energy I experience on the way. I love exploring sacred destinations, Jyotirlingas, and valleys of the Himalayas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travel is more than sightseeing — it’s about people. Couchsurfing lets me meet locals, share experiences, and discover authentic sides of every place I visit.

Interests

I balance between spirituality and adventure. I enjoy visiting ancient temples, Jyotirlingas, and sacred places, while also trekking through mountains and valleys. I’m also a tech learner, always curious about new tools, and I like sharing knowledge with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Hindi soft songs, devotional, calm travel playlists

Books: Mythology, travel stories, inspirational reads

Movies: Adventure films, spiritual documentaries, motivational cinema

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reaching Kedarnath Jyotirlinga after a tough trek was a life-changing experience — surrounded by snowy mountains and divine energy.
Another unforgettable journey was the Parvati Valley (Kheera Ganga) trek in Himachal Pradesh – one of the most dangerous yet adventurous treks I’ve done. The raw beauty, tough paths, and thrill of the valley made it an incredible memory.
