About me, Patrick Vijay D’ Silva – also known as The Rainbow Hiker for my preference of colourful shirts during hikes !!
Welcome to my world of outdoors.

Based in the United Arab Emirates, I have dedicated most of my weekends of last 5 years (since 2019) for exploring and documenting some of the most breathtaking hiking trails across the region and beyond.

A Passion for Adventure

My journey as a hiker began with a simple short hike of 500 meters at the Showkah dam in RAK South and then my love for the outdoors grew without bounds.
 Over the years, this passion has transformed into a mission to uncover and share the hidden gems of nature.

Since then I have recorded all my hikes on Wikiloc platform and have made best of attempt to provide details for those hikes and any other information as may be required.

My Wikiloc account is https://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/user.do?id=4739121

I was fortunate to meet very good hiking mentors who guided and led me on many of the great trails and memorable hikes. I am ever thankful to them.

From the rugged mountains of Ras Al Khaimah, the serene wadis of Fujairah and other emirates, I have traversed many countries near and far on countless trails, each with its own unique story and charm.
My tallest hike has been Mount Kilimanjaro in 2019.

On this website, I am attempting to list out my hikes with details so that they can be referred and enjoyed for more clarity and safety.

Refer the details of hikes of your preference and enjoy your hike to the fullest.

Enjoy Hiking !!
