Asia Trip Leader

Indrajit Latey

Indrajit Latey has worked in the fields of wildlife management and nature tourism for the past 19 years. His interest in wildlife was ignited during his childhood years, when he spent summers in Melghat Tiger Reserve in India’s northern state of Maharashtra. He later worked as a naturalist for the World Wildlife Fund in Pune, and for six years lived and worked in Kanha National Park. Whether he is guiding wildlife groups, diving in coral reefs, or skiing in the Himalayas, Indrajit is at home in all terrain. He is passionate about photography and realized a childhood dream a few years ago when he visited Africa’s Masai Mara and Serengeti as leader of a group of professional photographers. In 2017, he used his conservation and wildlife knowledge on a month-long stint to explore the northeastern rainforests of India.

Carol B.

Snow Leopards and Tigers of India

"Indrajit was beyond excellent! His knowledge and skills as a guide were incredible. He always managed to anticipate the animal’s behavior and know how to position us for the best sightings. He eagerly answered our questions about anything (flora, fauna, behavior, local culture, customs, etc.) and also spontaneously shared this info as the occasion presented."

"This was my first trip in two years and Indrajit made it even more special. His knowledge of wildlife and its conservation, the environment and its potential threats, and India and its culture, was amazing and seemed so natural to him. He has a fabulous personality with wonderful humor and was always willing to help when needed. He’s a lovely person and I’m so lucky to have met him."
