Prashant is a very compassionate person and has very good knowledge of places he takes his clients. I brought few students to Nainital where he showed great patience in dealing with them. By the end of tour, students were fond of him.
Prashant is very experienced birder in Uttrakhand region, I been part of multiple trip with him and he has always been very cheerful.
Nice guide
Omkar
Ponda (Goa) Species spotted796
It was my first Herping trip with Omkar. It was a great experience going to forest in search of amphibians and reptiles after dark. Omkar has great sight of all kind of wildlife. Way to go Omkar.
We did two nature trips in Goa with Omkar and thoroughly enjoyed. Omkar possesses excellent knowledge about nature overall....i.e. the terrain, birds, animals, butterflies and the people too. He is so well versed with bird calls that I was really amazed. All the best Omkar.
Omkar has wide ranging interests, including birds, herps, and butterflies, and is phenomenally good with identifying calls.
Always enthusiastic, he is great company, and cheerfully puts in extra effort to fulfill individual targets.
Apart from the birding and herping, I remember the interesting conversations we had with him on topics ranging from the ecology of habitats to ethics in wildlife watching.
Any trip with him is highly recommended!
Omkar is a true naturalist with a great eye for birding. He has a thorough knowledge about the life and habits of birds....He is a great host too!!!
I took Omkar's services in 2018 when I went to Goa for birding. He has great eyes to locate the birds. He is very courteous as well. He is not only a great bird naturalist but he is a very good guide in Herping.
Atul

I did birds of prey trip with Atul and it was an amazing experience.
Sandeep
Darjeeling (West Bengal) Species spotted650
We covered Latpanchar, Rongtong, Shivkhola and Chatakpur for 4 days and we spotted almost 100+ species in these 4 days. All credit goes to Sandeep ji. One of the best birder, spotter, photographer in North Bengal and Sikkim area. His knowledge about bird and their song is unbeatable. In one word, he is the finest. From warbler to raptor, he knows everything.
This was first birding tour with Sandeep ji . We covered Latpanchar,
Shivkhola, Rongtong & Mahananda WildLife Sanctuary during my 5 days stay at Latpanchar. What a great human being and so much learned and dedicated person Mr Sandeep ji is. Words are short to describe his knowledge, skills, approach towards birding. I have never seen such a great guide who keeps on birding with use of sophisticated technology with never tiring enthusiasm. Simply he has mastered bird identification and how to make them come on proper perch for you to take great pictures. He also have a great knowledge of cameras , lenses & settings for photography during different weather conditions. Simple man with great caring attitude. Salute to you boss.
This was my second tour with him. This time it was lava and zuluk . Excellent with call identification. That’s the first step if u want skulkers and targeted species. It’s been excellent overall and more time be scheduled with him soon .
We joined him for a short trip in Latpanchor. He is an excellent guide and has good knowledge of the habitats. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and loved the way he gives his 100% in field. Will join him soon.
Excellent spotter, well behaved in filed.. Lots of fun and enjoyed during my Zuluk, Mahananda and Lava birding tours..
Rajeev Kumar
Bharatpur (Rajasthan) Species spotted825
Rajeev is a complete package in himself. He not only has a vast repertoire of birding experience, in addition he has many wonderful stories that keep you engaged and absorbed. Any birding destination has activities all around the year, and our visit in late Oct, was made all the more exciting in the company of Rajeev Jain.
I would highly recommend his services, for all that he brings forth as a complete package. He will guide you about the local cuisine, other things of interests in and around the region, apart from birding. He is always willing to go that extra mile, and make you comfortable. And most importantly, he is good with novices too.
Look forward to my next trip to Bharatpur with Rajeev!
I keep going to Keoladeo National Park with my wife and we first met him in 2017 and took his services regrading the bird tour and we found him a person with very good knowledge about birds and surroundings. Since then we book in advance for the birding tour. He will always try to make a bird -watchers see maximum number of birds. If you miss the bird spotting, he will never miss it. He shows you the birds with lot of enthusiasm and with his immense knowledge on birds... I Suggest one should hire him in advance for best birding experience.
I have gone to Bharatpur, quite a few times. Of course, I've had a guide everytime . In 2017, I took a three day tour. Each day I took a different guide. On the third day I met Rajiv for the first time. He was my guide. His own passion, and never ending enthusiasm took the experience to another level. Even now I'm constantly in touch with him. He identifies any unusual bird I see when I send him pics. I didn't know he is a guide for these other places as well. Must definitely check them out with him. And of course will go back to Bharatpur, booking him in advance!!!
We had two occasions where we used the birding services of Mr Rajiv Jain at Bharatpur. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasant person. Gained a lot of knowledge from his experience of birding for so many years. He made every effort to go to many far away spots to make sure that we didn’t miss anything.
Eventually we were even invited to his house where we met his family. Each member was very hospitable and we were treated to a delicious meal. Would definitely use his services even in future.
I met Rajiv in Bharatpur when the RTDC hotel team suggested me to take guidance from Rajiv. I did 2.5 days of tour and I was extremely happy with the outcome of the tour - bird sighting and good photography and I'm thankful to Rajiv for his impressive knowledge on birds, patience and polite service. I'm certainly visiting Bharatpur in the coming season and will once again take Rajiv's help to improve by bird photography skills and knowledge.
Apart from birds, Rajiv also introduced the local delicacies for which I'm thankful to him again.
See you soon, Rajiv.

Been with Rajeev to Kotdwara and Lansdowne. Very skilled in tracking and identifying birds. He will take you to unexplored areas with plenty of bird activities. Knowledge of birdlife with respect to terrain is just too good.
It was wonderful experience with Rajeev Sir. Excellent spotting . He is all the time alert looking for birds and listening the calls from surroundings.
Sonam
Thimphu (Bhutan) Species spotted600

Rofikul
Kaziranga (Assam) Species spotted1082
Two weeks in mid-February 2020 with Rofeeq as quide to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh was truly memorable and could not have been better with any other guide. Due to his fantastic skills of hearing the most minute bird calls and knowing the species responsible resulted in us finding even the rarest and most difficult to see birds. An incredible 402 bird species for 12 days in February we saw! On top of that he also knows all the mammals and most butterflies etc etc. and is a pleasure to travel and bird with. So truly recommended. Our best guide ever! Thank you so much Rofeeq!
Nov 2019 I had the pleasure to spend 25 days in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh with Rofeeq as my guide for the entire trip. His commitment to finding the birds is absolute, he uses his ears, eyes, and his vast knowledge of environment to find the birds, and is extremely adept at helping his client to view and to photograph them. Being a professional photographer himself, he is excellent at positioning the client for the best shot. Since I am a beginning birder, my wish was to go "slow birding", to enjoy and observe, rather than ticking off a list and grabbing a quick shot. Rofeeq understood completely. He loves observing bird behavior himself, and together we observed patiently. When not guiding, Rofeeq is out in the field travelling and birding with friends, and ever learning. He is truly committed, and one of the all time greats!
There's not enough stars to justify this rating 🙂
It's epic to go birding with Rofik. His uncanny ability to spot, hear and predict birds is extraordinary. Breathes life to the birding experience, he's more a mentor than a guide! One with nature, he's warm, funny and caring. His experience in birding is unparalleled, you can count on him to show you what India has to offer!
It was a rich experience birding with Rofikul. He has a very good ear for bird calls and is a great spotter. You can be sure he will do his best to find a bird in your wish list. Look forward to birding with him again.
An excellent guide, who is patient with his clients ensuring everyone in the group sees the birds. His ID is very good, recognizing calls too very easily - this makes for a very enriched birding for those with him! That he is a specialist became clear when he was able to predict that he would find the Hodgson's Frogmouth by looking at the habitat - and he did within minutes, though it was his first visit to the area! Though he carries a camera, unlike some other guides, his priority is to ensure that his clients get to photograph the birds first! For Rofikul, birding is a passion which gets transferred to everyone around him! I would love to go birding with him again and again!

Taukeer
Haridwar (Uttarakhand) Species spotted488
I had the pleasure and good fortune of birding with Taukeer at Jhilmil Jheel in Feb 2018 and again in Feb 2019. Taukeer is an impressive bird guide, very knowledgeable about the birds in the area and quick to ID species by sight or ear. It was a delight spending the day birding with this humble and skillful young birder who clearly loves birds and sharing his passion for nature with others, whether school children or clients. I will definitely contact him again to bird in other Uttarakhand locations when my travels next take me to India.
I have done numerous trips with Taukeer. I am a great fan of him. A very down to earth soft-spoken person. Extremely committed, knowledge-able and helpful. Will go out of the way to fulfill your mission.
I have been with Taukeer to Jhilmil jheel, rajajai and rishikesh. He has excellent knowledge of birds and can identify them just by their calls as well. He is very well mannered gentleman, and knows the rules of birding. Its always a pleasure to go birding with him.
Tokir Alam is a great Birder of Himalayas. He provides a great services to the guests. He is very polite and hardworking person.
One of the best guides in Himalaya

A Great human being with a great treasure of knowledge. Quiet but friendly by nature. 3 birding trips together and still the same experience. A hard worker with good heart. Caring and always willing to help. According to my own experiences with him, he is an excellent partner for a bird watcher. He has incredible knowledge about birds and places.
Dinesh Negi...Besides being a great Guide is also a very wonderful, polite and a kind-hearted person. It was really nice meeting you Mr. Negi. We visited Chopta for the first time in April-2019 with our group (STRABO Pixel Club) . ur whole trip was very well managed. We really enjoyed your company appreciate your skills and hard work. Our Best wishes are with you always. God Bless You 🙂
At first my relation was started with Dinesh as Birder and Bird Guide during Apr 2018. The relation converted into as Friendship and now brotherhood, as we both feels. First of all I noticed his honesty towards new client birders. He is a nice human being also. No doubt he has excellent expertise in birding field. He tried a lot to show us the uncommon even rarest species of great Himalayas. I think everyone who roamed with him agrees with it and nothing else to say.... thanks Dinesh and keep it up.
I was in the lap of nature ..Chopta in Dec 18 with Dinesh Negi ,a very energetic ,enthusiastic knowledgeable guide to be with in the woods .It was my bad luck because of the weather that my trip had to be cut short ,but am really looking forward to meet him again on another birding trip to get some more beauties of the Himalayas
I made a birding trip at Chopta, Uttarakhand, with Dinesh Singh Negi, on April 2017, a young ,energetic, bird guide and also an excellent person, got a no. of species that time, among them Koklass pheasant,Himalayan Monal, Bearded Vulture, are most mentionable, got some good pictures. Day by day he is maturing and gathering experience, so without hesitation anybody can go with him...

One of the best guides and humans i have ever met. He is not only best bird guide but a thorough gentleman and photographer who understands your needs well. His arrangements are par excellence! His locations and hotels are too good. He sees to that your trip goes smoothy and you see maximum numbers of birds.
He is the best guide to the best of my knowledge. His sharp eyes makes him to sight the birds at a quick glance which stands out. He ensures that the guests are looked after very well. The hotels booked by him are simply the best and makes one very comfortable and homely. His knowledge on wildlife is immense particularly the birds and their behaviour. I have done 2 trips till date since 2018 and find him the best in the class. All the very best Tsultrim. Birding is pleasure with him.
Excellent Birding guide! Totally committed to giving you an outstanding birding experience.
Fantastic super successful Bird tour in Bhutan! Tshulthrim is an excellent bird guide. Expert at finding, hearing and identifying the birds!
Tshulthrim was with us for 12 days from 19th May onwards. His commitment towards us ensured that we got to see 240 species on our trip, including many rare species. His knowledge of bird calls and bird habitats is phenomenal. He makes the clients very comfortable through his gentle and affable manners. Would love to do many more BHUTAN trips with him.

Pooran is an excellent guide for Pangot region, he went out of way to make sure he spotted the birds, and that to from far far distance. I would recommend him for Pangot birding.
In Pangot, everyone knows Puran, and thats for good reason. He is such a polite man. I have done birding in Pangot with him twice and I don't know how he finds birds in the densest forest, in grass and in far away barren land. We came back with great sighting of Cheer and Koklass on first trip along with numerous endemic birds. IN the second trip he tried his best and we spotted Cheer.
Stay like how you are Puran. Best wishes.

Satendra is a nice and co-operative guy.Being a guide he is humble and has knowledge about wild life. Jhilmil jhil was not a renowned place but now it's getting identification due to such guides.The flora and fauna of this forest is amazing, recently I visited with satendra.He has good knowledge about bird species. Even he can easily find the areas where the birds and other animals usually migrate.Nice to see all with him.I appreciate his work.
Satyendra is quite an expert guide. He tailored our entire tour as per our requirements and at our pace, stopping at vantage points allowing us to enjoy and photograph
He was also extremely knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of birds and animals along the way. I have seen the maximum number of fauna in this trip and will definitely be connecting with him on our next trip to jhilmil in another season.
Last but also important, his jeep was quite new and very comfortable.. Which is a major factor when you are traveling for hours around dusty and rough trails...
Satendra is an expert and the most reliable guide if you want to spot rare species of birds. Bird watching and photography needs a lot of patience and an in depth knowledge of behaviour of birds and Satendra has it.
Satendra took me and my husband around the reserve. He picked us up at the gate and helped to communicate in English and Hindi.
The tour was amazing, he and his partner can spot animals hiding around and told us details of different smells, sounds and tracks.
We decided how much time to spend and if we wanted to stop, he would stop and show us. He picked amazing spots for photos and knew so much about the wildlife.
He was highly professional, funny and knowledgeable. The tour was an unforgettable experience thanks to him.
Satendra is quite expert and well skilled bird watcher and efficient guild. It was very nice and remarkable experience of bird watching with satendra at jhilmil conservation reserve.

Javed
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) Species spotted250
Javed was an amazing experience. We landed at Nalsarovar in Feb 20019. The place was completely deserted and dried up. We were wondering if we had reached the right address, since it was in complete contrast to what we had heard about Nalsarovar. And then late in the evening Javed appeared. When I first saw him, I thought I am being taken for a ride. He was such an unassuming character. But then he rattled off the possibility of sightings as if he had studied the bird behaviors for ages and knew exactly when, where, what could be sighted.
So next day early in the morning off we went with Javed for a day long experience. End of the trip I must say, my respect for this young lad grew immensely.
I am pretty sure, with a little bit of luck (I mean rains in the region), he would be a very busy guide/naturalist. God bless you Javed.

Excellent work and dedication shown by you Musa Khan. Keep up the hard work and contribute to the cause of conservation.
Best for bustard
Birded in DNP with Musa Bhai 2017. Found to be very passionate about GIBs. He is so sensitive about their plight that I saw him actually scolding a local guy for trespassing into the habitat. We spotted 11 GIBs. His persistence got me several lifer species. His helping nature and hospitality is equally commendable. Will definitely do another trip with him soon.
By far the best naturalist I have ever come across and been on safari with. Very polite and extremely dedicated. I went in the wrong season for birding, but saw so many species of birds that I had never seen before. I encountered my first vulture at DNP thanks to Musa Khan. It was an amazing sighting with 12 vultures there and 4 different species, white rumped, long billed, slender billed and also red headed vultures. He helped me sight so many other birds such as the Laggar Falcon, the Tawny Eagle, the Punjab Raven, the Blue Cheeked Bee-eater etc. Even though we did not sight a Great Indian Bustard, he did his best to help us see one and despite that, Desert National Park will remain one of my favourite places on earth. It was a fantastic trip and would definetely love to go on safari with him again in DNP. I reccomend him to everyone who plans to visit DNP.
Musa is passionate for nature.

Desert National Park Jaisalmer was long on the bucket list and it happened now, from 9-12 Jan 20. With Rajesh Panwar and Ursha Khan to guide is to the desert rarities.. and what a trip... Got to see all the birds that one can possibly see in this season.. thanks to the hawk-eyed Ursha, who, in the last 12 years of his birding experience, could spot a Merlin or McQueen's or a courser from a mile with naked eyes while all of us would be straining through our binoculars. For the Great Indian Bustard, here would collect adequate intelligence from the local shepherds so that he could take his guests to the spot where sightings would be most likely. We got to see a flock of eight GIB! He is very humble, very honest, very sincere and very punctual. A lovable young man most suited for anyone looking out for birds in the DNP...
Amazing spotting skills and knowledge of most of the birds found near and in Desert National Park.Has good knowledge about passage migrants too.The go-to birding guide in DNP if you're interested in photography and birding for specific species.

Lokesh
Bharatpur (Rajasthan) Species spotted1047
We went to Bharatpur for the bird sanctuary & met Lokesh ji at IbisHouse farm stay (where we'd booked a suite) & got to know about his experience & his knowledge by Mukesh ji, his elder brother. We subsequently decided to hire him as our guide & we are so glad that we did! Lokesh ji is a very humble, patient & competent guide. He's also a photographer, as we got to know when we asked him to take the photographs of the birds we saw (as we are all novices, but eager to learn). I will highly recommend anyone who is planning on watching birds in Rajasthan or Uttarakhand, to hire Lokesh ji as your guide. You won't regret, I promise.
Spectacular birding was experienced with Lokesh in Bharatpur at Keoladeo Park and environs! To be accompanied by an expert guide with a sporting scope enhanced our birding adventure tremendously. Lokesh quickly identified multiple species and ever so quickly had the spotting scope set up for ease of viewing. He also assisted with photos taken through the scope as he is an experienced photographer as well! I heartily recommend him as a birding guide who is also very pleasant in all his interactions. In total, over two days we identified 93 species with his assistance!
Additionally we stayed at his family's guest house and all our needs were wonderfully taken care of. Thanks for a most memorable trip, Lokesh!
We booked IbisHouse Farm for 5 nights.
We arrived in Bharatpur very early but it was no problem at all. Lokesh welcomed us very warmly before 9 a.m.
We got coffee and were taken to our splendid room by his brother Chendar who cooked our meals and cleaned our room. The next morning Lokesh guided us in Keoladeo park and thanks to him we could make some very nice pictures. Lokesh is a very experienced guide but even more important a very friendly person. His father- Ratan Singh- and his older brother Mukesh are also very friendly as well as the rest of his family. The location of Ibis House is superb.
This was definitely our best experience in India!
We met Lokesh during our stay at Ibis Farm house stay. We had a wonderful time and added 1 night to this stay because we loved it!
The first day we went for a walk around the area and because of Lokesh we saw a lot of little birds and were really surprised how many. Lokesh can hear and see them all! The 2nd day we went for a walk/ride in Keoladeo and also there Lokesh was a remarkable guide. Calm, joyful, and with respect.
We loved the atmosphere he and his family created.
I recommend to take this guide for all your nature walks around Bharatpur and more!
Lokesh looked after my partner and I at Keoladeo earlier this year. Not only is he an expert guide but most helpful and friendly company. I have no hesitation in recommending his services

Rahul is dedicated to his work. Really Enthusiastic about showing birds to the photographers. I got almost 120 Species of birds at Sattal and Pangoot. Really enjoyed birding with him and definitely plan to go with him again.
I have met Rahul more than three times in Sattal and at Pongot. He is very well behaved and man of best birding skills in this region. May God bless him more and more in his profession.

Anil
Ramnagar (Gaujani) (Uttarakhand) Species spotted545
My wife and I spent 3 days birding with Anil at Corbett in May 2019. I must say that this was one of our best birding trips ever. Anil is an excellent birder with an eye to spot even the most well camouflaged birds in the bush. We were extremely lucky to spot an Indian Blue Robin, which happened to be a lifer for Anil as well. We spotted a whole lot of other birds too, some of which were lifers for us. We are planning to visit Corbett again in the near future, and we are certainly looking forward to birding with Anil once again.
Myself and my wife travelled with Anil in and around Corbett National Park in March 2017. Anil was a fantastic guide who combined excellent people skills with top quality ecological and ornithological knowledge. He knew all the birds in the area by sight and calls and was informative about their habits and behaviour. His understanding of wildlife calls and behaviour led to my first ever tiger encounter which was genuinely one of the best moments of my life. Anil works very hard for his clients and makes every effort to find the species they want to see, be that a tiger or a chestnut headed tescia. He is also very pleasant to travel with. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Anil is one such soul who breathes woods and its denizens; flora and fauna. The conservation and protection are at the core of his heart and when it comes to guiding people to understand and admire beauty scattered by the Mother Nature, he is matchless. Anil has a strong inclination for spotting winged species and studying them minutely in all respects. A pair of binoculars, smartly dressed and well-equipped Anil is ever ready to bring you closer to the world of birds. He knows where to spot which one and how to observe it from closest quarters without causing any kind of disturbance to the birds or make them feel threatened. To move closer to the Nature, Anil is a wonderful and empathetic medium.
He is a very soothing person to talk to. Sense of spirituality along with nature lover has made him a very successful guide. May God bless him more with his skills.
Anil is a wonderful person with a pleasing personality. I have known him for the last six years and he has been my guide at Jim Corbett always. Anil has in depth knowledge of birds and wildlife. He is an avid birder. I regard Anil as a friend and a wildlife enthusiast colleague.

Not only does he satisfy the average wildlife enthusiast, but he has also consistently improved his birding skills on the field, familiarizing himself with bird calls, habitats and distribution.

Mohan is an excellent naturalist and has amazing knowledge on birds. Because of which he is aware of the birds' behaviour. He is a good photographer too, so people who want to take pictures of birds will benefit from his expert advice/suggestions.
Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and nature. His determination to save the wild and create awareness among people is inspiring.
Vijay
Lata (Nanda Devi National Park) (Uttarakhand) Species spotted305
It's hard to come across a guide who is a well qualified mountaineer as well as an avid bird watcher well versed with Flora and fauna of jungle. Vijay comes under this rare category. There was never a dull moment during our trek in Nandadevi National park, one moment he would talk about the mountains or the history behind them and would immediately switch over to identify the chirping sound of the bird and name them. I can not recollect all those names except Himalayan Monal, Golden Eagle and Snow pigeons, since my interest was mostly about mountains, but during our conversation, I realized how passionate and serious he is about bird watching.
I would highly recommend, Vijay as a bird watching guide and I 'm sure he will emulate the legendary guides of Lata village in future.
Vijay is naturalist by birth and his passion towards mountaineering and birds are adorable.....he lead our 3 members team towards Nanda Devi Interpretative Trekking during 28.9.19 to 05.10.19....Vijay is best option for bird watching guide....
I have been on two extensive treks with Vijay. We immediately became friends and I was so happy to have his perspective as we travelled through the beautiful Himalayas. This is his home and he is passionate about its beauty and preserving it for future generations. He knows the trails and the animals that live there, especially the birds. I highly recommend him as a guide. He has a big heart and an idealistic spirit. I am so happy he has turned this into a career, doing what he loves. Please support him.
one of the best guides i have ever came across and very knowledgeable about birds
I came in touch with vijay 4 years back during a bird watching camp. He is a professional and very humble in nature. A perfect bird watcher and a wonderful guide.
Love to be with him whenever I get time.

The best guide I could have found. Super punctual and friendly. I recommend him. The next time I go I don't hesitate to contact him again. thank you.
Very energetic and enthusiast.. It's a pleasure to meet him and birding with him.
It was my first time with Satish.. let us start with his punctuality- he was very punctual and as I had traveled the previous night.. I was late.
The knowledge of the birds and their habitat and when to look for them are all so very well engrained in him that we did not miss any opportunity to click a snap. And as a person he is so friendly and accommodating, I would suggest to anybody who wanted a guide in Uttarakhand!!!!!

I stayed from 24th March 2021 to 26th March in Birders den along with my wife and 8 year old kid. We as a family are very keen on birding and love to explore locations like this to understand and see bird behaviour. Fortunately for us we had Hari Om ji as our guide who has immense knowledge to share on the birds seen around Sattal. He is extremely patient, polite and so down to earth. He could see the spark in my daughter too and took interest in showing her birds with lot of patience. Thanks for an amazing experience. Look forward to my next journey with Hari Om ji.
Mr HariOm Singh is a great naturalist and an amazing company in birdwatching. I bumped into him while i was exploring sattal and we strolled into the forest on foot looking for birds. Being a naturalist myself, I learnt a lot from him and wish him all the best. Thank you
Hari Om is a great guy, very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. We had a great river trip at Chambal Sanctuary with him (March 14th 2020), and also a guided tour around the Lodge area. Saw some excellent birds and wildlife and also some fascinating insights into the local plants and their medicinal properties. Will have some wonderful memories, and have some great photos, Many Thanks!
We had a wonderful day with Hari Om soon after arriving in India. A guided walk around our lodge and then the wonderful river trip. He is an excellent birder and good company. We have lovely photos and great memories. Thanks
We had a lovely day based at chambal safari lodge with Hari Om.
We went on a morning Jeep safari looking for sarus cranes, we found them but saw so much more. For us the best parts we getting out of the Jeep and bird spotting on foot through the local area. The afternoon was a lovely river trip spotting gharial, crocs and of course lots more birds. A great guy to spend the day with. Thank you

It was an absolutely thrilling experience going birding with Pranjal. He is a very dedicated bird guide & persists till his clients get a glimpse of the birds.
Thank you so much Pranjal!
It was my first time experience with a field guide for birding and boy was it worth it! I had a very very eventful birding day with Pranjal da. I am sure I wouldn't have been able to spot half the birds without him. I hope to join him for future birding events. Cheers.
In my observation, Mr. Pallav is immensely passionate to his profession of guiding and helping in birdwatching and photography. In field I have seen him to spot birds even in critical atmosphere. His enthusiasm and hearty efforts to make the trip successful is worth mentioning. I will be glad to get him in all my coming schedule of birding there.
