DIRECTORS AND OFFICE STAFF
Bashir Sheikh
Bashir Sheikh After graduating from the University of Kashmir with a degree in Commerce, Bashir started his career in travel as a Trek Leader in Kashmir and Ladakh, in the Indian Himalayas. Following 5 years as a Leader he then founded Sea and Sky Travel, with a partner in 1978. In 1995 Bashir became Managing Director of Sea and Sky and has since continued to develop a successful range of tours which are now marketed internationally. For the last three decades Sea and Sky has been responsible for providing ground services and Tour Leaders for Explore in the UK, Terre D’Aventure, and Explorator in France, and Globotrek in Switzerland; a breadth of experience that has encouraged him to now bring his tours direct to the market.
Nadeem Sheikh
Nadeem Sheikh Nadeem obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree at Kashmir University before following his father Bashir into the family business in 1995. After a spell as a Tour Leader he is now responsible for Marketing and also heads up the Operations Department.
Directors of course always claim every tour is their favourite tour. But we put the rest of the team on the spot. So here they are, with their own particular favourite tours:
Prakash Kanotia
Prakash Kanotia Prakash joined the company in 1992. An experienced travel professional he is in charge of the tour development department. Expected to choose a favourite trip, therefore, from amongst our newer tours Prakesh came up with “Actually our ‘Rajasthan Desert Safari’ is a favourite. A classic adventure trip it’s stood the test of time and it has everything; people, colour, dramatic landscapes and iconic architecture. It’s a challenge to come up with new tours to rival it.”
Dilip Koul
Dilip Dilip joined the company in 1987, starting in the administration department. He is now in charge of the transport and ticketing department. Where would he head for if we let him out of the office? “That’s easy; Sikkim and Bhutan are so different to life here in Delhi that I would love to join our ‘Journey to the Himalayan Kingdoms.’ Every time I ticket the internal flights for this tour I want to join the tour myself!”
Tsewang Dorjey
Dorjey Tsering is an experienced trekker and hails from Ladakh, where he learnt his craft before joining us in 2005. He is now the Manager of the trekking division of the company. His favourite tour? “Well it has to be our ‘Kashmir Ladakh Adventure’ as it introduces our clients to my homeland and the Buddhist lifestyle there, but also offers time in the mountains on a trek which is within the capabilities of any reasonably fit client, so they see my mountains too.”
Nisha Mirza
Nisha Nisha graduated with an IT degree before joining the company in 2005. As our technical expert she heads up the IT department. But if we let her out of the office? “I would love to join our ‘Journey to Little Tibet’ tour. The stories that our guys from Ladakh tell me, about the high mountain passes and the Gompas and the similarity of Ladakh to Tibet in so many ways make me want to see it for myself.
