Professional Background & Experience

Quick Profile

Full Name: Deepak Singh Rawat

Position: Co-Founder, White World Expeditions

Based In: Tapovan, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand 249192, India

Joined WWE: 2015 – Present

Specialisations: River rafting in Rishikesh, kayaking, Himalayan trekking, riverside camping in Rishikesh, and shooting coaching

Languages: Hindi, English

Deepak’s professional life began far from the river — on the shooting range. He represented the state of Uttarakhand in five National Shooting Championships and went on to become a coach certified by the National Rifle Association of India. For two years he worked as support staff with the Indian Junior Shooting Team, and for two further years he coached student athletes at Manav Rachna International University, building a reputation for technical precision, calm focus and disciplined training.

In 2015 he carried that same discipline into adventure tourism, joining White World Expeditions in Rishikesh as a training guide on the Alaknanda and Ganga rivers. Over the next decade he progressed from training guide to Co-Founder, taking direct responsibility for guest experience, guide development and trek operations. He continues to lead trips on the river and in the mountains himself — a hands-on co-founder who is on the water and on the trail with guests, not just in the office.

Leadership at White World Expeditions

🏆Co-Founder – White World Expeditions, Rishikesh

As Co-Founder, Deepak shares responsibility for the company’s direction alongside founder Bheem Singh Chauhan. He oversees trek operations, supports rafting and camping logistics, and is directly involved in training and mentoring the guide team.

His sporting background gives him a coach’s eye for safety briefings, drill repetition and decision-making under pressure — qualities he carries onto the river and the trail. Guests on rafting trips in Rishikesh, Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand and riverside camping in Rishikesh regularly meet him in the field, not just on the website.

Guiding Philosophy

In shooting you learn to control your breath, your focus and your reaction. The river and the mountain ask for exactly the same. My job at White World Expeditions is to bring that calm focus to every guest — so they enjoy the rapids in Rishikesh and the high-altitude trails in Uttarakhand with confidence, not fear.
— Deepak Singh Rawat

Deepak’s approach is built on three principles:

  • Discipline first: Every rafting trip in Rishikesh and every trekking trip in Uttarakhand starts with a clear briefing, equipment check and drilled emergency procedures.
  • Coach the guide, not just the guest: A strong team makes a safe trip — so guides are continually mentored and assessed.
  • Be on the trip: A co-founder who is still on the river and in the mountains alongside the team.
