Tapas Biala found that out pretty early on when he was just a toddler. Ever since he has not looked back. He has been trekking and climbing in the Himalayas very early on. At 12 years old he became the youngest climber in India to climb 6,000m plus peak till that record was eventually broken by another climber. However, a few years later his passion for trekking and climbing took a major blow, when he was diagnosed with cancer\u2026leukemia. But, the motivation of getting back to the mountains helped him overcome that. And now he is back in the mountains doing what he loves the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1946\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/travel-conversations\/conquering-cancer-and-climbing-mountains-tapas-biala\/attachment\/tc-ep-2-tapas-biala_rustik-travel-podcast_1\/\" class=\"wp-image-1946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_1.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_1-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1948\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/travel-conversations\/conquering-cancer-and-climbing-mountains-tapas-biala\/attachment\/tc-ep-2-tapas-biala_rustik-travel-podcast_3\/\" class=\"wp-image-1948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-718x479.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-526x351.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.rustiktravel.com\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/TC-Ep-2.-Tapas-Biala_Rustik-Travel-Podcast_3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tapas is an outdoor learning and adventure entrepreneur having co-founded My Himalayan Adventure and Rustik Travel.&nbsp;His life so far is an awe inspiring one as he talks in this episode about exploring Himalayas and more:<br>&#8211; Growing up trekking in the mountains (Doon School, Youngest Climber in India to scale 6000 m peak)<br>&#8211; Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (Basic and Advanced Mountaineering Course)<br>&#8211; Nature Photography<br>&#8211; MBA and Adventure Entrepreneurship<br>&#8211; Tips for first time trekkers<br>&#8211; Outbound learning program for schools<br>&#8211; Overcoming cancer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do send us your feedback so that we could improve with each episode.&nbsp;Till then, Travel safe.
