In today’s episode of The Ranveer Show, we welcome Peter Van Geit. He is an ultra runner, explorer, alpinist and minimalist. He is also the founder of the Chennai Trekking Club, a 40 thousand-member volunteer-based non-profit community active in outdoors, sports, environment, and social initiatives. He was born in Belgium and later on, settled in India to explore the beauty of the Indian Himalayas. Peter Van Geit is here to share his ultimate experience with trekking and exploring the Himalayas.
In this episode, we talked about his journey of moving to India for a corporate job and moving towards pursuing his career of traveling and exploring. We talked about his time living in the Indian Himalayas and communicating with the tribal communities, witnessing the beauty of the Himalayas encountering wildlife on his journeys, and much more.
This was an amazing conversation about traveling and exploring beautiful nature and how people can take some time out of their busy schedules to experience nature as well. I hope you guys will enjoy this episode and please share your thoughts in the comments below.

BRING ‘SIR JACKIE CHAN’ PLEASE, so i can die in peace

[@utubeasif]

I have known Peter for almost 10 years now and have done many ultra runs with him in the hills of the Western Ghats. It was an exhilarating experience doing such expeditions with him; he would often take the path less trodden and knew how to make the entire journey full of fun and adventure. One of the most humble and inspiring people out there. There is so much to learn from him.

[@VikasDAce]

Peter finally getting the recognition he deserves. Well done!

[@pravasi6258]

So happy to see Peter on this podcast. I was part of the Chennai trekking club in 2008-2010 period and Peter was the main guy in it. Such a wonderful soul, totally built for nature and the wilderness. I couldn't swim back then so Peter gave me piggyback swim sprints in a small lake during Nagalapuram trek. I also remember most of us climbing onto his Scorpio car's side rails while he drove uphill on some rocky paths❤ Also reminds me of the time when I was hesitating to jump down from a massive boulder during our walk downhill, and Peter was behind me and suddenly shouted, "Snake! Snake!".. no surprise I jumped down in no time only to find everyone laughing at me😂 😂 (There was no snake, Peter had tricked me).. Such amazing memories that I will always cherish. Thanks Peter! Rock on !

[@prateekdwivedi240]

Amazing. I was with CTC as well around that time. Wonder where are all the guys. Sudhir uncle, bala and rest.

[@mokshadivyansha8152]

You covered all the major topics except ayurveda please do a podcast on ayurveda

[@FriendlyVimanam]

Ravi singh Chaudhary is a good one for that.

[@mokshadivyansha8152]

Asit kumar panja is a very known sir of ayurveda

[@mokshadivyansha8152]

You can call someone from AVP

[@Nothing-pp3zo]

DHANURVEDA TO

[@hugodm7414]

As I learned about Hinduism i came across ayurveda that lead me me to Triphala that was a game changer for me, thank you India.

[@VarunSharma-ss5pw]

THE MOST AWAITED PODCAST. Sir Peter Van Giet is nothing but a true legend. He has inspired lakhs of people. A true pinnacle of man and his endurance, ballsy endeavors and love for Nature. Such raw and accurate experiences he has shared. My heart bows down to him. 🔥🔥❤❤. Thank you Ranveer bro for this❤.

[@nishitsingh846]

Saale sir sir bolke sir par chada dia tere jese alone logo ne

[@kattamanchiarjun]

I have hiked with CTC and with Peter. He literally has a huge impact on my life .. because of him my fitness has improved and I love hikes, running and I still hike and go for marathons. As Peter says "Mind over body Tambis" ❤

[@JageerSingh]

Omg... This guy came in Doda distt... Oh Gosh...Plzz do visit again... I would like to meet u... Im in paramilitary forces... From Distt kishtwar...Wtsoever this guy stated over here after his trekking observations, it makes me crazy living a shepherd life as we have a herd of 50-60 sheep.People here in hilly belts of Himalayas r truly living a non-materialistic life. Generous, kind n pure Hearted masses.... I wish people visit Himalayas rather than travelling abroad... My words r not enough to describe d beauty of Himalayan forests, mountains n d ppl living here... Invitation to all d creatures of this universe...Urs most vlkm in our world... ❤

[@zeal1438]

What an amazing guest!!! Listen to what he has to say in the end- "Life is short- We live on a very beautiful planet. Don't just keep working, take a break and experience nature before you get too old" I was really blessed to have had a chance to experience the Himalayas!

[@FameCastExpress]

Who wants David gogins at this podcast

[@akshaypatel7287]

I’ve had similar experience when I was in Far west of Nepal in total isolation. Was camping without electricity without network connectivity, zero light pollution, totally inhabited area - one night was lying down and still remember that picture of our milky way above my eyes - totally unexplainable experience.

[@marirs1984]

This collab was never expected, used to trek / do bike riding with Peter during early ctc days . Seeing his interview bought back a lot of memories. This guy can summit Mount Everest without oxygen 😊

[@suprabhat2112]

Watching beer biceps since 2016 still amazing content never bored always learning....keep it up

[@BeerBiceps]

Great to hear! Thank you ❤️

[@monicaaleti2188]

Wow Peter Van Geit!! I always wanted to meet him. A mutual friend of mine told me about this guy when I was on my first solo trip before moving to abroad. He says " Monica you know there's this friend of mine called Peter, he is from Belgium and been living and travelling in India for almost 20 years now. He has something interesting to say about India, even though he is from a European country he says that before travelling outside India, try to travel within India. Because this country has everything to offer from deserts to forests, from lakes to beaches, from hills to mountains etc you name it you've got it. It's like travelling around the world if you're travelling within India." That amazed me so much. Because I was so convinced by the idea that other countries have much more to offer than India. Hence moving out seemed very exciting at that young age but after what he said, everything made sense. I realized how easily we underestimate what we have. Kudos to this man for what he does. He is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[@Krish_Nambyal_Bisht169]

Himalayas are very underexplored, himalayas are great pride of our india ,as someone who belongs to one of the indian himalayan state, it feels good to see such podcasts about himalayas ❤🏔. the folk, culture , traditions, and flora- fauna of himalayas are very rich & distinct .

[@rajkumarsharma4947]

He is more Indian than many of us . He has seen the Himalayas closely, which many of us only heard about. We should also explore before it's late .

[@aaronderyl]

The culture of travel and exploration isn’t there in India my friend. From school age, it’s just the rat race.

[@aaronderyl]

💯 Indians know the least about India’s diversity.

[@RudraNaik]

This guy is a gem of a person! A warm, encouraging and as authentic a human as one can be!

[@vineethsamdaria2205]

Trekked and hung out with him a few times. Most humble and down earth guy.

[@scorpius2814]

He is more Indian than most of us. So happy to see him here. Sending lots of love and wishes to you guys

[@thirumalairockz]

Our Peter , the founder of Chennai Trekking Club ❤️😍

[@sarojamaryanne5167]

Wow....this guy is really amazing and knows how to enjoy life in the most simplest way ever. The wonderful tribe people he met are truly pure souls where I believe that is how a human being should be. People in cities are way so much more different than the tribes. We could learn hundred of things from the tribes.....pure love.

[@AnkeVanGeit]

Peter 🫶🏻 lots of love from Lokeren, Belgium

[@reignz6968]

Family?

[@AnkeVanGeit]

@@reignz6968 yes :)

[@champ200028]

This guy is amazing...I have done all my treks and bike rides solely due to the inspiration from him !!

[@manishkokil7210]

This podcast is your one of the Best. This man is really a Great entity ... Blessed by God 200%. Thanks so much Ranveer.

[@bilalroshanTESR]

I know Peter from last 10 years he is an amazing human being and belive in serving nature. Thanks for bringing him into your podcast 🎉

[@QuirkyTraveller]

Been a part of CTC from 2014-2017, it has changed my life forever for good now, trust me.

[@BrookeABrodack]

Dude the timing is perfect. I’m in the process of recollecting a 3000 km trek “into the unknown” in the Himalayas that I took in 2020 and I lost all the footage. So I am going back on the journey through memory and google maps and with the few photos I have and making a narrated audio book on KZbin. 🙏

[@chanduchebrolu1386]

First thing I've done after watching the podcast is that, I opened my insta and started following him... huge respect for peter

[@akshaymattur1509]

Peter is the main reason why I started a lot of outdoor activities....he is such a motivator....

[@raishadiaries3682]

Please interview Meenakshi amma of Puvidham. She is a homeschooling parent and she runs an amazing school. Her interviews are life changing. Durgesh Nandhini is another homeschooling parent who teaches how to lead a minimalistic life. Both of them are true inspirations

[@vishalthakur9992]

I can relate when he said people who have less facilities have big harts, because I'm from Chamba Himachal Pradesh. Now i can see my village's people are getting more greedy as they are going to cities but it was not like that.

[@VK-wf9qe]

Raveer you and your team need to bring in Professor Jeffery Meldrum for an interview if you want in depth knowledge on Himalyan yetis, and the North American Sasquatch aka Bigfoot. He is very knowledgeable about the anatomy of bipedal primates. Also India has a long history of yetis, from the Ramayan time the Vanaras are yetis. Eastern Nepal has high number of sightings. Assam has a history of yetis locally called Khenglong-po. Even Sri Lanka has red haired dwarf yetis. In Sri Lanka, the word "Vanara" has been used to describe the Nittaewos mentioned in the Vedda legends. Remember yetis are sighted in the eastern Himalayas not as much in western Himalayas. I would not look for yetis in Kashmir, or Himachal. There might be some in Uttrakhand. I've heard from a sherpa that he has sighted yetis in higher elevations above Chakrata, but I know for sure you have the highest chance of sighting yetis in higher elevations in Eastern Nepal, Butan, and definitely Arunachal Pradesh.

[@sameerapprevieww]

Every time I get new kind of knowledge & info when I see this show. Thx for

[@ravisampat]

Peter is an inspiration. I hope he meets his mom soon. A question to Peter - why don’t you crossover to another country & move to Belgium & come back from one such router ❤ from a solo explorer 🧭

[@MaheshKumar-iy4jq]

Thanks, Ranveer. Listening to this podcast about someone's profound experiences with the mountains and the Himalayas provides a refreshing perspective on raw, natural living that is both inspiring and blissful. Please do come up with such podcast .. 👍

[@drpunithkumar]

Peter is an inspiration, Glad i have learnt things from peter and have hiked along with him, he's so friendly, mischievous and down to earth man.. keep rocking peter, much Kudos to you

[@ankandutta6022]

It’s so disheartening to see that these kinda episodes don’t get much views.

[@yoeyyoey8937]

Fr it was actually super cool and one of my favorites of this year

[@aaronderyl]

Agree - then again you know what sells these days isn’t it. I’m happy that a person like this was even invited to speak on this platform. I’ve to say Ranveer is doing well in that regard. Good mix.

[@kss109]

I have been following this guy for 2-3 years now.This guy is surely built differently.Hats off !

[@ashutoshdusane5301]

What a nice philosopy to look at the life, I really like Peter's approach to look around the people, nature, culture and food around while exploring various places! Really nice to watch and hear him. Thanks.

[@natashasingla5431]

Wonderful content, so peaceful even to listen! Requesting more of such talks 🙏

[@shivamkaushik7589]

Have been referring to peters course and curare content for years now during my solo Himalayan treks his maps and survival trips have been really helpful to traverse through remote Himalayas

[@Just_Arohii]

Listening such podcasts is just a bliss!! Best part for me was 50:19 to 51:30 when they talked about stars and that invisible force which we feel so connected to❤

[@priyadarshini568]

This podcast is amazing...he is deeply connected with humanity...and his photos are out of the world .....he deserve the recognition 💕

[@adityacob]

Peter is so humble, glad to have known him. Will meet him soon.

[@deveshreegangurde5650]

Sir, I really wanted to appreciate you for only doing paid promotions of the products that you personally believe in and not doing it just for the sake of money because I have observed a few other podcasters who have millions of subscribers and they are promoting certain fraud apps. May your honesty and ethics help you reach great heights of success💖. God bless you🙌.

[@BeerBiceps]

🙏🏻❤️

[@rashmimathur5318]

[@gobindakc5888]

That was epic podcast thank you

[@sasikiran4906]

Awesome broadcast i didn't even notice the time it went like just 30min i guess

[@conscioussoulhere]

I'm a professional mountaineer active in the Himalayas from last 12 years now, i also had opportunities to be trained with our special forces and go on expeditions with them. i appreciate the exploration sense of peter but there are a few things he needs to understand if some of you can pass that over to him, furstly the nomadic tribes that he stays at night with, most of them are really surviving on very limited resources, he may not understand the local languages or conveniently chooses to not share anything with them in exchange for the stay and food since he will to carry that stuff which will slow him down(please don't pay money to these tribal people) but still i think that's one thing he is passing to other people as well which over a few years down may start to impact things on a much bigger scale, these robust tribes have hundreds of years of history behind. also i have encountered a few of his students once who were lost in the mountains totally clueless of what to do next and ofcourse they had barely any ration with them up in the extreme cold luckily our team was coming down the same path and we took care of them, but i would really not suggest people to just take some tips from passionate people and start going into the uncharted terrains that is not responsible at all and may end up fatal. last point to add here is, the Forest department is super active with people killing wild animals though Himalayas are vast and thus people were getting a free run earlier but things are changing rapidly now and it can cause huge repercussions on anyone who gets caught so please don't even think of doing something like that, lets try to travel as eco sensitively as we can, leave no traces behind and please don't pollute Himalayas by eating packed food, playing music or littering around.

[@swathijarugumilli9936]
