Front Office Manager

Anup's journey from the quaint village of Gwari in Pauri, Uttarakhand, to his pivotal role in Front Office at Aahana is a tale of determination, inspiration, and relentless hard work.

Beginning his career in Food and Beverage, it was during his tenure at a hotel in Haridwar that Anup discovered his knack for guest interaction and engagement, especially with international travellers. Recognising the need to enhance his skills, Anup dedicated himself to mastering fluent English, often extending his working hours to grasp the intricacies of front office operations.

Anup's connection with nature deepened during his brief stint in Madhya Pradesh, fostering a love for forests that eventually led him to Aahana in 2012. Through unwavering dedication, relentless determination, and a desire for learning, Anup has evolved into a valuable asset for
