Reviews from our Clients
" I have known Shri Sumit since his days at ZSI. His deep-rooted knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Andaman Islands is truly remarkable, befitting the PhD scholar that he is. While he is an exceptional spotter of birds and their calls, what stands out even more is his incredible tenacity and stamina — qualities that helped me capture the elusive Andaman Crake and Ruddy Kingfisher in the year 2024 when I had nearly given up all hopes. His mild manners and expertise make him not just a top birder of the Andamans, but also a wonderful companion in the field. He certainly is the person to accompany during any birding trip "
" What sets Sumit apart is his commitment to ethical birding practices. Unlike many birders in the Andamans who prioritize financial gain, Sumit puts nature first, ensuring that his actions are guided by a sense of responsibility and conservation. Sumit's ability to spot birds and identify their calls is exceptional, and his enthusiasm is contagious. During our birding trip in 2025, his dedication and perseverance enabled me to spot 95% of the targeted endemic species. His calm and patient demeanor made the experience enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend Sumit for anyone interested in birding in the Andamans. His humility, expertise, and passion for nature conservation make him an invaluable resource. I wish him continued success in his endeavors to promote conservation and share the beauty of the Andamans with others. "
