Narayana Rangaswamy

Narayana Rangaswamy comes from the tiny village of Belathur in India, which adjoins the famous Nagarahole National Park. Having grown up around the elephant paradise of Kabini, his early inspiration to observe nature came from studying the birds around home. As he grew, so did his fondness for them and the other denizens that share their space, leading him to set foot in his current profession as a naturalist. His desire to explore central India's wilderness has so far taken him to Pench, Bandhavgarh, Panna, and Kanha, where he was the Head Naturalist at Banjaar Tola lodge, and Chief Trainer for Taj Safaris. He has led wildlife expeditions to Ladakh for Snow Leopard, Himalayan wildlife, Kaziranga, Dudhwa, and Ranthambhore in addition to Southern India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.
