His time in active cricket may have ended abruptly but the unconditional love for the blue jersey, he continues to be associated with the BCCI as one of the top match referees in India today.When he is not on the field, an ardent fan of travelling he has visited over 55 countries so far, walked the Inca Trail in Peru, swum with whale sharks in Mexico and loves talking about his face-to-face encounter with a great white shark in South Africa but Arjan's 'go-to' is trekking and mountaineering.
A game changer of sorts, Arjan has managed to carve out a niche for himself among the trekking fraternity in India within a short time having organised many treks to unique destinations.
On 19 May 2023 Rajasekar Pachai, fondly known as Kutty amongst the trekking community, created a world record as the first person from Tamil Nadu to summit Mt Everest at a height of 8848m under the mentorship and guidance of Arjan and his team with getupandgo.
[1] Keeping safety as a priority with promise to offer exhilarating views and adrenaline rush experiences, getupandgo is for those who like to take the off-beaten path, tailoring to niche and unique travellers primarily specialising in treks and mountaineering trips across the globe.
A certified scuba diver himself with experience in bungee jumping, skydiving and paragliding, through getupandgo, Arjan shares his love to travel and adventure with the rest of the world.
