Early life
Bajaj (also affectionately known as "Bagage") completed his schooling at Lawrence School, Sanawar. At the age of twelve he climbed the 12,000-foot-high (3,700 m) Friendship Peak near Kullu, and then at sixteen years old he ascended the Hanuman Tibbal, a 20,000-foot-high (6,100 m) peak.
He graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi.
Adventure
Bajaj became the first Indian to have skied to both the North Pole and the South Pole, and has undertaken travel in 17 countries spanning six continents. In July 2008 he kayaked along the coast of Greenland as part of an Indo-American team. The expedition’s aim was to create awareness about the effect of global warming on glaciers.
Bajaj has won a bronze medal in the national games for kayaking and a silver and two bronze medals in international rafting competitions in Switzerland and Siberia, Russia. He has captained an international team for world white water championships in Turkey.
Bajaj qualified as a climbing instructor at the French National School of Alpinism and Skiing and has experience in a host of other adventure sports including skiing, rock climbing, snorkeling, sea kayaking, scuba diving, bungee jumping and canyoning.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and is former President of the Adventure Tour Operators Association of India.
