Based in Melbourne, Australia, Amlan is an MBA grad specializing in strategy and finance, but he promises that that's all that's boring about him. He prefers to introduce himself as a mountaineer, an explorer, and an independent adventure filmmaker. For the last decade, he has travelled the lengths and breadths of India, Nepal, and Australia. His projects have also taken him to countries like Azerbaijan, Russia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Bhutan, and many more.

Editor · Partnerships

A designer and business analyst by profession, she feels much more at home when adrenaline rushes through her veins. An anthropologist at heart, she is a big believer in documenting things with an aim to preserve them. She even documents her mother's recipes. Haha. She is addicted to that feeling of nostalgic high which she gets when she sees a photo from the past. Photojournalism and adventure documentaries are natural extensions of this trait of hers.

Stuff we do

We have always found our solace in mountaineering, hiking, and backpacking. But of late, we have been working hard behind closed doors to integrate another dimension into our adventures - bikepacking.

Mountaineering & Hiking

Mountaineering is an extreme form of backpacking, really! That's the only way we can justify why we do it. Haha.

Backpacking

Our first love, and our general modus operandi - every project of ours has involved backpacking in some form.

Hard yards behind the scenes have brought our bikepacking dream closer to reality. Click here to know more.

Why ABOL?

Discover Freedom, within & beyond!

We disagree with the conjecture that civilisation is contained in the world's cities. Just think about how long in human history that has not been true! It lies in the great outdoors. Fascinated by the world's truly wild corners where nature still has the final say, we trek, we climb, we explore, and above all, we enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. And we want you to feel what we feel.

That's why we created Acute Bear & Obtuse Llama (aka ABOL) as a venture, to metaphorically and hopefully literally drag you up mountains, through forests, & across trails. Your legs might hurt, your lungs might burn, yet we want you to feel more alive than you have in years. And hopefully, someday along the way, we all might discover freedom together, within and beyond!

We are lucky that we hate settling down at one place, because our projects often involve relentless travels worldwide. And till now,we have loved every bit of it. Well, there have been a few bad apples here and there, but hey, at least it's better than not travelling at all.

Where have we adventure-d?
