Lumbini pilgrimage guide & Terai birding
I guide the sacred garden and the international monastic zone, and I take birders into the Terai wetlands at dawn — sarus cranes, storks, and the occasional Bengal florican. Japanese pilgrim groups are a large part of my work, so I guide in Japanese as well.
Licensed guide, Buddhist studies background, JLPT N2 Japanese, 300+ pilgrim groups.

Deepak guided our group in Japanese, which meant a great deal to the older members. Unhurried and respectful throughout.

Peaceful and genuinely moving. The birding morning was an unexpected highlight. Do bring a hat — there is very little shade.
