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.
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.
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.
