About

Shakti : is among the best bird guide in Andaman. Having born and brought up in the Andaman islands, Shakti has been inclined towards nature and wildlife since the day his mother allowed him to watch TV. He grew up watching Discovery Channel and decided to pursue his passion. He did his post-graduation in Marine Biology and worked as a Marine Biologist for 5 years, scuba diving in the remotest island in the Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep archipelago, conducting underwater surveys to study coral reef biodiversity prior to starting Tribesmen in 2018.

Having been bitten by the birding bug courtesy of a friend and colleague in 2013, his passion for birding slowly grew into what he is today: a person who sleeps with one field guide next to his pillow and another under his bed. Shakti considers himself a mix of a birder and a bird photographer. He spends hours studying and observing birds and their behavior on field, as well as learning to be a better wildlife photographer and constantly improving his wildlife images. He has traveled much across the country, often on his motorcycle, spotting over 800 species of Indian birds in the process remarkable if you consider that he lives on an island far from mainland India.
