Dushyant’s passion for wildlife began when he was appointed as a management trainee at Tiger Tops Lodge in Chitwan, Nepal. Within 10 months he became the naturalist/manager of Tiger Tops Karnali Tented Camp. Finally he took over as the resident naturalist/manager at Karnali, where he was responsible for the overall management of both the lodge and tented camp. During his 6-year stint with Tiger Tops, he actively participated in conservation and the development of the national park. After leaving Karnali, Dushyant, as a freelance naturalist, began leading several wildlife/special interest tours in India and Nepal. Before joining Travel Inn in India, he worked as resident naturalist and manager at Baghvan Lodge in Pench National Park for two years. In addition to wildlife, Dushyant, a graduate in English literature, enjoys traveling, reading, cricket, soccer and horse riding. His wife teaches in a primary school and they have a young son. Dushyant is India Safaris & Tours Operations Manager and has been working with the company since 2006.
Dushyant was such a pleasure to travel with! He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and Indian culture. He answered my numerous detailed questions about all things India, including wildlife, patiently and thoughtfully—he clearly has a great deal of expertise. He also managed all of the logistics perfectly. I especially enjoyed his stories about working in the nature reserves.

We are well traveled with a number of travel groups. By far, Dushyant was the best Expedition Leader we have experienced. He has an engaging personality, is level headed under all conditions, fair in his treatment of all travelers, highly knowledgeable, very organized and extremely competent. We have no suggestions for any improvements.

Dushyant was extraordinary. His knowledge of conservation and wildlife was impressive. It is hard to imagine a more knowledgeable and experienced Expedition Leader. He is a star in every aspect. His presentation on WWF was spot-on as he explained his own 'WWF story' and the importance of wildlife corridors in protecting tigers in India. He was adored by the group and highly respected by the local guides.
