Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

India's Lions Need a New Home NOW: The TRUTH with Dr. Ravi Chellam
Q: Why did you choose lions to focus your research, given the broader opportunities in wildlife biology?

How to Make a UNIQUE Career in the Wild - Harsha J & Payal M
Q: Why create Nature Guides Academy and how does it work?

How to Make a UNIQUE Career in the Wild - Harsha J & Payal M
Q: What makes a great guide as opposed to a good one?
A great guide combines deep natural history knowledge with excellent communication, an ability to tailor the experience to the guests, and a compassionate attitude toward both wildlife and people.
How to Make a UNIQUE Career in the Wild - Harsha J & Payal M
Q: How has the role of a naturalist evolved since you started?
It has shifted from a purely knowledge-based role to one that heavily emphasizes guiding skills, storytelling, and meaningful interaction with guests, along with a strong emphasis on responsible tourism and community involvement.
A Small-Town Kid Became India’s Wildest Photographer - Dhritiman Mukherjee
Q: So if you weren't doing photography, what would your life look like after 20-25 years?
I would likely still be involved in outdoor pursuits, teaching or guiding in some form, but photography has become my primary avenue for learning, exploration, and contribution; without it, I'd seek another way to stay connected to nature and share stories.
