Madan Duklan the editor of Hamari Chitthi says that Girish Sundariyal is the strong pillar of contemporary Garhwali poetry and representative of new generation. Girish Sundariyal deals with various subjects in his poetries and does many experiments in poetic form and style. Girish is called the expert of using ornamental Garhwali poetry and marvelously uses metaphors, simile and onomatopoeia in his poetic version. 
Girish Sundariyal was born in May, 1968 in Churedgaun, Ringwadsyun Patti of Pauri Garhwal, Himalaya. Sundariyal is M.A in English, Hindi and Sanskrit . Sundariyal  is lecturer in Garhwal, Himalaya. 
Girish Sundariyal started publishing his poems from his early youth and published his Garhwali poems in periodicals as Hilans, Dhad, Chitthi Patri, Hamari Chitthi, Sahara, Nav Bharat Times, Samy Saxi, Though, Girish has written essays and stories in Garhwali but he is identified and respected for his Garhwali Geet. Girish is also appreciated to pull the crowds in Garhwali Kavi Sammelan across all cities of India. 
So far, Girish Sundariyal published two volumes of Garhwali Poetry collections - Anwar (2006) and Maulyar ( 2008). Both collections of Garhwali language poetries are marvelous pieces of world literature. There are seventy two poems in Anwar and fifty two poems in Maulyar .All poems are of different subjects of rural Garhwal and different moods of society and the poet too.

The poems of Girish Sundariyal  are also translated in English . The specialty of poems of Girish are that they are melodious and with simple, understandable wordings . Girish Sundariyal  never hesitates in doing experiments with Garhwali poetry creation but never leaves melody. Sundariyal  wrote Gazals in Garhwali too and he is effective making much bigger picture by few words. 
Madan Duklan surmises about poetries of Girish Sundariyal , “ the songs of Shri Girish are adorned with metaphor, simile and onomatopoeias etc. His love songs are the matchlessly creative, .it can rightly be said that Girish Sundariyal  is the master of the love song maker of this century . The folk colour and lure of Garhwal, Himalaya are preserved in his heart, that is why he is able to create such marvelous and wonderful songs--

She has tolen my youth
By squeezing it out of life
Now stricken by love she hums within…
