Siddharth
|
Siddharth is the perfect outdoors man. He hates being in
a big city and is always eager to get back to his more wild and
natural surroundings. He has set up one of his two eco-resorts
near Kaladungi, the famous residing place of Jim Corbett
during his stay in India. His camp is also near what was once
the location of the legendary "Bachelor or Powalgarh",
arguably the largest tiger ever recorded. Unfortunately he was a
man-eater and had to be shot by Jim Corbett. The second resort
is at Pangot, which is higher up in the mountains and is
one of the best areas for birding. Siddharth is an avid
birder and has extensive knowledge on the subject, especially
of the species found in the Garhwal and Kumaon regions.

heads his own travel company called, "Blaze A Trail".
He now has the enviable experience of leading fishing, birding and
wildlife tours for over 10 years. Having lived all his life in the
area of Garhwal and Kumaon, Siddharth has an excellent knowledge
of the local people, their customs and the region in general.
He has trekked extensively in this region, including the trails
made famous in Corbett's books. He has an excellent understanding of
nature and is a wildlife freak to the core. Besides all these excellent
traits, he is also great company to have along on trips and expeditions
- specially when he starts off-loading some of his treasure chest of stories
from the wild.
