Films that live
in the mountains.

I'm Puneet Verma — I make cinematic travel documentaries across the Himalayas and India and take small crews of travellers with me to shoot, learn and live the story on the way.

"I don't chase destinations — I chase the light, the silence, and the stories the mountains are already telling."

What started as a solo backpack and a secondhand DSLR is now a full-time craft: cinematic travel documentaries shot across Spiti, Ladakh, Himachal and the high Himalaya, shared every week with a growing community on YouTube.

Today, Puneet Verma Films runs guided film expeditions — small groups who travel, shoot and edit alongside Puneet — plus a filmmaking masterclass for anyone who wants to turn their own travels into films worth watching.

The Mountain Filmmaking Masterclass

Everything I wish someone had taught me before my first trip — camera, story, drone and edit, taught the way I actually shoot.

01

Camera & Gear for Travel Films

Choosing gear that survives the mountains, settings for changing light, and packing light without compromising the shot.

02

Composition & Storytelling

Building a shot list around a story arc — not just "pretty shots" — so your travel films actually hold attention.

03

Drone Cinematography Basics

Safe, permit-aware drone flying in the Himalayas and the movements that make aerial footage feel cinematic.

04

Color Grading & Edit Workflow

My exact editing timeline and color process, from raw footage to a film ready to publish.

05

Building a YouTube Travel Channel

Thumbnails, titles, upload cadence and the honest economics of growing a travel channel from zero.

Spiti and Ladakh are best from May–October; Himachal's lower valleys and Uttarakhand work well March–June and September–November. Exact dates for each departure are listed on the package cards above.
No — most travellers join with just a phone or a beginner camera. Trips are paced for moderate fitness, and every itinerary includes acclimatization days for higher altitudes.
Stay, local transport through the itinerary, permits where required, and all filmmaking mentorship sessions. Flights/trains to the starting point, personal gear and travel insurance are not included — see the full inclusions list sent with your quote.
A booking deposit secures your seat and is non-refundable; the remaining balance is refundable up to 15 days before departure. Full terms are on the Terms & Cancellation Policy page.
