He calls himself a 'shamateur' trekker, having footed it to Rupkund, Chorhoti Pass, Pindari Glacier, and Amarnath. Ashok Dilwali magically brings snow-clad mountains and lovely valleys into our homes. He, undoubtedly, reigns supreme in mountain photography. He has mastered the art of capturing the exact mood at appropriate angles with his lens, and presents the Himalayas, its people and places in a form and style never seen before.
