 Praise from Nat Hab travelers:

J. Popatia
"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."
 
L. Haehnle
"Aditya made this taste of India a fascinating adventure. His knowledge, expertise and communication provided such insight into the culture, the people, the transportation modes and maximizing our Ranthambore National Park experience."

E. Freudenburg 
"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."

R. Anderson
"Aditya was extremely knowledgeable and committed, as well as solicitous towards every group member. He is a wonderful guide."

J. Tomlinson 
"Aditya was above and beyond. He was able to read every one of us, knowing our needs and was always one step ahead. He was so knowledgeable, had a great speaking voice, always had a smile, had a sense of humor and was a pleasure to have as our guide."

M. Greenfield
"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."

K. Johnson
"Aditya was so thoughtful, attentive and a pleasure to be around. It was like being with a friend. I would definitely like to participate in an adventure with him again someday."
