More than photography theres always a room to learn about the birds,  their habitat and behaviour. Did 3 trips so far ( South and Little Andaman & Latpanchar) Our recent trip to Latpanchar was an amazing experience. Got 18 lifers with good shots and other 20 plus species. Unlike other tour operators or so called birding guides we haven't wasted our time by only roaming around Rongtong hill roads. The planning was awesome. Did birding around Rongtong, Latpanchar and Senchel. Stay and food was excellent. Well planned and executed by Mr.Shakthi. Looking forward for more trips.

I did a bird photography trip to Mishmi Hills organized by Tribesmen on April 24, and I must say it was an unforgettable adventure! The entire experience was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring a seamless and enriching journey.

The itinerary was well-curated, covering diverse habitats and species, and our guide's expertise was impressive. We twitched around 100+ bird species on our trip. The accommodations and transportation were comfortable and convenient.

What truly sets Tribesmen apart is their passion for birding and dedication to delivering exceptional experience to guests.

If you're a bird enthusiast or photographer, look no further! Tribesmen is the perfect partner for an unforgettable adventure in North East India. I can't wait to embark on my next journey with them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andaman has always been a dream for birders. Thanks to the Endemics that Andaman boasts.
All Thanks to you, Shakti. Your immense knowledge on Birds, tracking them, identifying them. Shakti knows nook and corner of the places where he shows us variety at every location.
Shakti not only ensures we see the birds but ensures we take good photographs of them. Thank you for your patience dealing with us😂.

This is just the first trip of more birding trips to Andaman. Missed only seeing the elusive Andaman wood pigeon.

Had a good experience staying at Hotel Rainbird suggested by Shakti. Hospitality, service, Food were all excellent. We had to start everyday at 5.30. Everyday we got our breakfast packed before that. Lunch and Dinner everyday on time.

Special Thanks to Pradeep Bhaiyya for his commitment..

Thank You So Much Andaman Boy, The name suits you well

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a weeklong satisfactory Birding experience with Tribesmen. My sincere appreciation to their relentless effort to find and spot target species.

Shakti, the man behind Tribesmen, even extends his passionate support beyond the usual responsibility of spotting birds and guide the Clients to perfect camera settings according to requirements, so that they get the most out of their clicks...simply brilliant.

But, there is a tiny hitch which I would request Shakti to think upon...firstly to be more interactive with your Clients. Someone may want to discuss his/her birdwatching enthusiasm with experienced Birder/Bird Photographer like you but least communications from your end turn the excitement of the Birding trip into a lifeless exercise. Your attention to this will be appreciated and help you to grow more.

Otherwise, thank you very much for 50+ lifers. Great job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We two friends had a birding trip at Portblair during Feb 15th. to 19th under the guidance of Mr Shakti Vel and his associates. We could watch and photograph almost all the endemic bird of the island. Plus other birds of the place. The trip was excellent in all respects. The staying, guiding, logistics and all. Weather was also excellent during the days.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A 5 star birding experience in South Andaman and Little Andaman under the skilful guidance of Shakti Vel himself. Covered most of the endemic species and the specialities of the Andamans. Loved the arrangements including accommodation and food especially the Rainbird Hotel was flawless.
However, even a 5 star arrangement has further scope for improvement and the feedback remains incomplete if those are not touched upon - (1) more interaction and daily briefing on upcoming events/activities of the next day and (2) a little slower pace and more time in the field allowing little more time to enjoy the birds could make it even more magnificent. It is a birding trip afterall!
Kudos to Shakti and Team for making the experience a memorable and successful one. Keep it up.
