Art of Outdoors tries to bridge the gap between the outdoors and people through stories. Its goal is to lower the entry barrier for Indians into the outdoor environment and adventure sports, helping them get outside more often.
Art of Outdoors covers topics like adventures, performance, training, gear reviews, interviews, tips, events, sustainability, travel, spirituality, minimalism, and overall a simple lifestyle.
Its stories are about personal experiences, learnings, observations, and meeting people in the outside world. We strive to become the best outdoor sports media platform in India.
Topics covered will help you become an informed outdoorsy you and make the best decisions for yourself and the environment. Slowly and gradually, we will try to cover almost all the outdoor sports in India and cover the length and breadth of the country. We strive to become the lighthouse for the number of people who want to get into the outdoors but do not know who to look up to or where to start.
