Hari Lamba Bird Guide & Photographer

Hari Lamba scales the peaks of Himalaya Foothills in Uttaranchal and Nepal. Well, he is not a  mountaineer but a bird guide and at the top rung at that. In my birding tours in Northern India, I got acquainted with Hari Lama as Indiafootprints Company had hired him. I work with Indiafootprints as a tour leader.  

Hari Lama's birding knowledge is astounding as far as Northern India is concerned and his Nepali accent and subtle humor keep birders entertained on long and arduous mountain treks looking for the avian wonders. 

The bird guide also indulges in photography whenever he gets an opportunity. Here are some of his images for our readers.
