Rijuta Dutt
Storyteller
Rijuta, originally from Mumbai, is now settled in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, where she spends her productive hours monitoring the snow on the higher peaks and constantly discussing the mausam (weather). As a storyteller and content curator at The Himalayan Collective, she’s passionate about exploring the Western Himalayas and connecting with local communities.
With a background in advertising and the impact sector, Rijuta has honed her skills in effective communication, branding, and crafting engaging narratives. She brings a unique mix of creativity and strategy to her work, including social media campaigns and content design. Always curious about the cultural and social fabric of mountain communities, Rijuta enjoys chatting with locals to understand how daily life is shaped by the seasons, weather, harvests, and long winters.
When she’s not working, Rijuta can often be found hiking through the hills, experimenting with local recipes, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of mountain life. Her love for storytelling extends beyond her work, as she is always looking for small moments that capture the essence of the Himalayas and its people.
