点评:As a foreigner with only a few days to explore the Mumbai area's natural offerings, and with only a little time to arrange for it, Jungle Buddies perfectly executed a multi-day guided tour with a driver included.
I inquired and quickly heard back from Pratham on my interests and the trip parameters. I had broad interests though Jungle Buddies were more than willing and capable to accommodate for specific guided experiences. Pratham suggested a 3-day tour following my locale suggestions, plus a very reasonable cost estimate, and I was game!
Everything went smooth, I corresponded with Pratham and my tour guides (Amol and Rajesh) to ensure transport and the experience was smooth. We also made lunch, water, and rest stops to refuel along the way. All of the best birding hotspots were covered for forest species, waders and wetland birds, plus habitat key to the once though extinct forest owlet. Overall we accomplished 150+ species, all lifers for me!!
In addition to the skill showcased by my Jungle Buddies guides, I was very grateful to casually discuss with each of them their interests in nature and birds. All were very easygoing and enjoyable to spend the day with.
I would 10/10 recommend Jungle Buddies for any local or foreign ecotourism to the Mumbai area, whether for educational, photography, or any related reason. They were simply the best!
翻译:作为一个外国人,我只有几天时间探索孟买地区的自然风光,而且时间安排得也非常少,丛林伙伴们完美地安排了一次包括司机的多日导览游。
我询问了 Pratham,并很快回复了我的兴趣和旅行参数。我的兴趣广泛,但丛林伙伴们非常愿意并有能力安排特定的导览体验。Pratham 建议我根据地点建议进行为期 3 天的旅行,并给出了非常合理的费用估算,我同意了!
一切都很顺利,我与 Pratham 和我的导游(Amol 和 Rajesh)进行了沟通,以确保交通和体验顺利。我们还在途中准备了午餐、水和休息站来补充能量。所有最好的观鸟热点都涵盖了森林物种、涉禽和湿地鸟类,以及曾经灭绝的森林小鸮的关键栖息地。总的来说,我们完成了 150 多种物种的观察,对我来说,这些都是终生物种!!
除了丛林伙伴导游所展示的技能外,我还非常感激能与他们每个人随意讨论他们对自然和鸟类的兴趣。他们都非常随和,和他们一起度过愉快的一天。
对于任何前往孟买地区的本地或外国生态旅游,无论是出于教育、摄影还是任何相关原因,我都会 10/10 推荐丛林伙伴。他们简直是最好的!
