Hi and welcome!
My name is Ghani Singh and I’m an Indian Naturalist and traveller who is currently living in Ranthambhore, working with Ranthambhore National park as a Nature guide and also for conservation with non-profit organization who is working to save our tigers and most biodiverse places in India. For the last seventeen years (2020 not included, for obvious reasons…), I have backpacked and worked my way around the India visiting 52 Sanctuaries and National Parks. When I’m not travelling then I work for wildlife conservation. I have worked with society for research, ecology and environment primates and Tiger and animal census for forest department, birds of prey like Harrier and other Several species of North India And now I’m in Ranthambhore .
About Me
I am Ghanshyam Singh and you can call me Ghani. Since childhood i have been fond of wildlife as my father is a park ranger in Ranthambhore and I started living with my father in Ranthambhore forests when I was 10 years old. He used to take me on trekking every morning and he thought me the meaning of the movements of the animals and birds living in the forest that’s my father called language of the forest. And he thought me meaning of the sounds, smells and marks of wild animals and how they react on scents and calls. I founded something new everyday. I fell deeply in love with forests and wild animals. And started understanding the behavior of animals like Tiger, Bagheera, Bear, Monkey, Peacock, Deer and Birds etc.
Based on that knowledge I have learned till date, I track Tigers, Leopards and their surroundings and show them to people, that moments are precious to me, that gives me amazing happiness, face shines and that is my real satisfaction. It makes me happy to do it and I want to do it everyday.
I am also fond of Bird watching, Culture, Monuments and Photography, I want to preserve the lost moments of nature through videography and photography.
Today I work in Ranthambhore Tiger Reserves and also visit other wildlife areas of India.
I became a wild lifer because of living with my father, so I had a dream – to travel the INDIA. Since 2004 I have backpacked, worked, hiked, road tripped, and started working as a Naturalist for North Central India across 13 states.
Visited ancient temples, Taj Mahal, palaces, forts, havelies, wildlife sanctuaries journeyed coast to coast overland across India.

Now, I (try to) balance my budding conservation career with travel. Wildlife conservation has always been a passion of mine, along with travel, art and photography. While this blog is about sharing my adventures around the world as a traveller, it’s also about showing you how anyone can experience the wonderful wildlife this world has to offer in a responsible, ethical way. I’ve seen too many instances of abuse or ignorance on the part of tourists when it comes to wildlife tourism and I believe that with a little knowledge and prior research, it’s possible to interact with these animals in a way that benefits them as well as us.

I’ve always been a bit of a lone wolf, so solo travel just comes naturally to me. While many people have called me Bird watcher for it.

Sometimes I do go home!
I still love that feeling of familiarity and comfort I get from stepping into my old bedroom after a long trip away. However, I have extremely itchy feet and find it hard to stay anywhere longer than 10 to 15 days so even when I am at home I’m always planning my next adventure!
