Chetan Mahajan

Co-founder & Writing Coach @The Himalayan Writing Retreat

Writing, teaching and entrepreneurship. I think each of these is fun. And the Himalayas are more than fun - they are majesty, inspiration, strength, and the place where I could live - and die - without regret. So after 20+ year of dredging urban stress when we decided to move to the Himalayas, the outcome was a heady mix of writing, teaching, entrepreneurship and the Himalayas - The Himalayan Writing Retreat. Dr. Vandita Dubey - clinical psychologist, published author, better half, best friend- and I co-founded it in 2016.At the Retreat we help people hone talent and find inspiration by finding community and through structured learning. Our Workshops cover topics like Blogging, Poetry, Short-story writing, Non-fiction writing, Creative Writing and Happiness. Dr. Vandita Dubey, author of Parenting in the age of sexposure (Rupa, 2016) and a clinical psychologist, leads the Himalayan Happiness project. The Retreat is a a muse for creative people. Lovely common spaces mix in with six guest rooms spread across an orchard, purpose built for learning and inspiration. Our workshops are led by talented, award-winning experts, both online and in the Himalayas.We welcome visitors to stay with us. We sometimes have writers and artists stay with us and work solo on projects for weeks or even months. You\'re welcome too.
