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.
