Since then his great enthusiasm, cheerful and friendly disposition, together with exceptional knowledge have contributed to many visitors having a successful stay in Nepal. Now ranked as one of the country’s leading naturalists and ornithologists, Suchit leads our holidays based in Nepal.  Suchit has found more then 6 new species of birds for Nepal.
