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.
