Hi, I am Ujwal. I am a birding guide and I could show you around North Bengal. I specialise in Latpanchar, and my guests have never fallen short of praises.
This website is under construction. While I build this, please feel free to connect with me over Facebook, and Instagram. In case you want to connect with me over Phone/WhatsApp, this is my phone number: +919475056624.
Thank you, and I hope we have a conversation soon!

Ujwal has been a fantastic teacher for the last 3 years. I have always shared a fantastic relationship with him. His knowledge about nature is worth all the praise.
Ujwal is an outstanding birding guide!
From the very beginning, he was calm, composed, and incredibly knowledgeable, making me feel completely at ease. He is client-intuitive, ensuring every aspect of my comfort was taken care of—even going so far as to buy bedsheets, a blanket and hot water bags when I mentioned my concerns about staying at homestays. His dedication was evident in everything he did.
Ujwal hikes those hills like a pro, never once leaving my side, and his sharp eye for birds made the trip exceptionally rewarding. I saw an incredible 188+ species, including over 120+ lifers! Every evening, he sent me a neatly compiled list of all the species we spotted, with lifers clearly marked—an extra touch that I truly appreciated.
One of his strongest assets is his well-established network. He has excellent connections with drivers, homestays, and local guides, ensuring smooth logistics throughout.
He also made sure that every place we stayed at was aware of my dietary needs, which was a huge relief.
With Ujwal, I never had to worry about a thing—just focus on the birds and enjoy the experience. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him to any birder looking for a seamless and rewarding trip! Thank you Ujwal Rai!
I trust Ujwal to show me around because of the human network that he has created in the region. I have explored Latpanchar with him in 2023, 2024, and in 2025. He has always been on time, alert, and drove me around on his scooty to places I do not think any other guide could take me to. I heavily endorse him!
Ujwal is a very knowledgeable guide and a very nice and reliable human being. Me and my Didi always look for his availability while birding at North Bengal.
Ujwal is a nice human being and a fantastic naturalist operating in Latpanchar, Mahananda, Senchal and upper Neora area jungles for birdwatching. His knowledge about the birds and their habitat is top-notch and he knows these places like the back of his palm. He always wears a smile in his face, is quite friendly and will go that extra mile to show you all the birds you want to see. I have done numerous trips with him for last 7-8 years and had very rewarding experiences so far! All the best, Ujwal for all your future endeavours.
