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.
