Years of experience
Guide certifications
Daman’s expertise in the terrain is so profound that he is regularly invited to take part in biodiversity surveys organized by the Nepalese government, and to guide students and researchers on university projects and theses in ecology, biology, or conservation. He reads the land like an open book, bringing every ecosystem to life for those who travel with him.
Through the Lens of a Photographer
Daman is more than an attentive guide—what truly sets him apart is his eye. A passionate photographer, he is constantly attuned to perfect light, striking compositions, and fleeting magical moments. He often accompanies professional photographers in pursuit of truly unique shots.
He knows exactly where to position himself, when to move, and how patiently to wait—whether to capture the gaze of a tiger, a flight of raptors soaring over a ridge, or the first golden rays illuminating the mountains.
Daman has the rare ability to spot what others cannot—the animals that seem invisible. A tiger at a watering hole, a rhinoceros hidden in the grass, an elephant beneath the canopy—he will reveal them to you, always without disturbing their world. A passionate ornithologist as well, he can identify birds by their song and flight, bringing every encounter with nature to life.
With his artistic eye, he is an invaluable partner for photographers, professional or amateur.
An ethical and responsible commitment
Passionate about his country and deeply committed to environmental conservation, Daman guides you through Nepal with authenticity and respect. He champions a more thoughtful, human-centered way of traveling, built on three essential pillars:
Wildlife respect
No intrusive approaches and zero animal exploitation – no elephant rides, no animals used for carrying loads, and no tourism that exploits wildlife.
Environmental protection
Emphasis on authentic routes and responsible collaborations with local communities, ensuring tourism benefits the people and preserves the culture.
Family-run accommodations, local crafts, sustainable agriculture… Each tour is also a way to support the villages visited.
Support for local communities
Daman regularly participates in controlled clearing operations organized with local authorities, removing dry brush to prevent forest fires and protect the local ecosystem.
Meet the rest of the team
Our strength lies in our individuality. Daman surrounds himself with top talents in their fields: cooks, drivers, and more—each contributing every day to make the team stronger and the journey exceptional.

"The first time I stepped into the Bardiya jungle, it felt like entering another world: a wild, vibrant, and utterly unique place. It was there, alongside Daman, that I experienced an unforgettable adventure—an encounter that transformed my perspective and inspired me to fully dedicate myself. Joining the Adventure Safaris & Treks team became an obvious choice: to share this extraordinary experience with others."

"I was born here, in the heart of this region, with roots deeply intertwined with Tharu traditions and culture. I love sharing this heritage through hands-on workshops—showing daily practices like wearing the sari, preparing family meals, gathering fruits and leaves in the forest, or caring for the animals. I invite you to immerse yourself in a living culture, rich in simplicity, connection, and sharing."
