Holiday Moods Adventures was founded on an autumn evening of 1997 when Arshdeep and Tejbir were driving through the British era lanes in Delhi. The excitement of starting a new venture of discovering unexplored places was so extreme that they decided to suggest it to like-minded people as a holiday option. Hence the proposed name of Holiday Moods Adventures was consented immediately. Little did they know that their love for promoting adventure journeys and experiences would grow to international fame and recognition.
ARSHDEEP ANAND
Arshdeep is an MBA in Finance & Marketing and had a travel bug rooted right from her early childhood days.

A meticulous planner, Arshdeep is a very organized chief. She looks after the Research & Development & handles the administration of the company. She has done many trekking expeditions in Himachal, Kashmir, Ladakh, Sikkim & Uttarakhand and off roading journeys driving through wilderness excite her. Although open waters do not electrify her yet she loves white water rafting. An avid reader with a passion for music, she is a great cook and innovates some amazing dishes in a jiffy. Writing poetry with flair, painting with water colours and music define her artistic side.
Arshdeep derives most pleasure in working with school children. She is passionate about developing course content for outdoor education which revolves around service for communities and animals, creativity, sports and adventure journeys. Networking with IB Schools and schools globally subscribed to the Duke of Edinburgh program is the objective.
