When books could not teach me, the mountains did.
I’m Mahesh Ronseru, an environmental educator and wildlife photographer from Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh. My work takes me to the remotest corners of Kinnaur through its highest peaks, deepest valleys, and densest forests documenting the region’s incredible wildlife and landscapes.
Beyond photography, I lead workshops, nature walks, and nature journaling sessions, engaging schools and local communities in hands-on experiences with the natural world. Through these programs, I aim to inspire curiosity, nurture observation, and foster a deeper understanding of our connection with nature.
While my work is rooted in understanding nature, my focus goes beyond any single place. It is about exploring the relationship we share with the environment, sharing that understanding with others, and encouraging its protection. Every project I take on—whether capturing wildlife or guiding people into the heart of nature is driven by this purpose: to connect, to reflect, and to conserve.
I’ve learned more from nature than from any textbook.
