Species spotted855A gentle and very talented and hard-working young man. Had been an asset for me on so many of my trips to Bharatpur. Wish him good luck,
I have worked with Guide Gajendra Singh for over 10 years now and can vouch for the fact that he is one of the finest guides anywhere in India, having assisted wildlife enthusiasts, birders and photographers. All the travelers who have traveled with him, have rated him as one of the finest they have worked with anywhere in India. 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.
Gajendra is a wonderful bird guide & great wildlife expert. He is also an excellent travel companion whom you can trust while into a wildlife . Excellent knowledge about species of Birds, animals, with their natural habitat and locations. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is as enthusiastic about birds and wildlife. He has great English skills and definitely a wonderful experience traveling with him.
Gajendra is an amazing guide and great wildlife expert. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is as enthusiastic and caring about birds and wildlife as he is. English skills are great and had a wonderful time traveling with him.
Gajendra is a good guide as well as he does bird watching very well. I am going with him for the last 3 years and I have been having good experience with him.

Species spotted1082Two 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!
