Aditya Dev2013

Aditya manages guiding operations for Nat Hab guests in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan and loves to share the entrancing natural beauty and serene culture of this small country with his guests. His passion for photography took root at a very young age when his father handed him his prized Lubitel 2 double lens reflex camera that he bought when he traveled to Russia for a skydiving competition. Aditya began taking portraits and fell in love with the idea of capturing images by manipulating light on film, creating pictures that weren’t immediately visible to the eyes but loomed large in the imagination.

Aditya has a degree in science and a passion for adventure. His early work in the hospitality and travel industry began with a job operating a wildlife camp at Bhitarkanika National Park in Orissa. He spent eight years working in India’s premier national park as a naturalist guide and lodge manager and has guided nature tours across the Indian subcontinent for more than 20 years. He enjoys crafting unique and interesting experiences for his guests and once assisted the BBC Natural History Unit on a three-part series on tigers.

What Our Guests Say

We have always had outstanding Expedition Leaders in our previous five trips with Nat Hab, and Aditya met our expectations 100%. He was very friendly, solicitous and approachable. He was always helpful, looking out for our needs at all times. When he realized some of us were not up to snuff in photography, he went out of his way to spend an afternoon giving individual lessons in how to get the best pictures with our cameras. Above all, he was a very knowledgeable naturalist, which made the trip to the tiger reserve all the more interesting. Many kudos to him.
J. Popatia
Aditya should be your trainer for all guides. There was nothing that he didn't pay special attention to, including staying up most of the night to secure good airplane seats for our trip past Everest. It was a diverse group and he handled variations in ability and interest with grace and humor. We have always had good leaders, but none of this caliber.
M. Greenfield
Traveling with Aditya in both Satpura and Ranthambore National Park was like traveling with a friend in India. He was so enthusiastic about finding wildlife for me to photograph that he and our Satpura naturalist took me on an expedition 25 miles into the park where we discovered a male tiger that no one had ever seen. Aditya is an exceptional Nat Hab guide.
