The chirps, the roars, the bellows, the alarms, the croaks, the hoots, the howls, the growls – I just can’t imagine a world without the wild. If the almighty God protected them from the flood with Noah…Why can’t we ??
Dear Friends,
Welcome to my home Bandhavgarh. Firstly a big Thank You for stopping by. If you are here, you are probably curious to know more about why I created this website. Let me briefly introduce myself. I am Ashish Tirkey, a tribal oraon boy, born and raised from the tribal realms of Chhattisgarh, Bastar – Kondagaon. I have managed wildlife lodges in South as well as Central India for the past 15 years and have hosted many celebrities, led photography safaris, guided in-house guests, assisted documentary film-makers and wildlife photographers.
I am grateful to the almighty to encounter some amazing wildlife, seen young tiger cubs ruling and dominating the national parks, where all I worked. It brings me immense joy to celebrate and create this platform to share my learnings, experiences, stories, and wild encounters. Stay tuned and Join me this season on safari!! Know more..
ECO TOURISM – HOSPITALITY – LANDSCAPE RESTORATION
FREE LANCE CONSULTANCY
Are you a property owner or hotelier looking to transform your wildlife lodge, eco-resort, safari camp, homestay, or boutique hotel into a successful business? Many properties struggle to achieve consistent results because they follow only basic hospitality practices. Running a nature-based lodge requires specialized systems, trained staff, and sustainable operations—and that’s where we can help.
With over 15 years of experience in managing some of India’s leading wildlife lodges and resorts, we provide end-to-end consultancy for new and existing projects. Our services cover project conceptualization, lodge design, organizational structure, and complete operational set-up. We create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to streamline systems and ensure smooth day-to-day functioning.
We specialize in staff training across all departments—F&B service, kitchen, housekeeping, naturalists, guides, gardening, guest relations, and more—focusing on both technical skills and guest experience. Empowered teams create memorable stays and repeat business.
Beyond operations, we support you with sales and marketing strategies, OTA integration, direct bookings, social media, content creation, and partnerships with travel agents and corporates. Sustainability is at the core of our approach, helping you adopt eco-friendly practices such as organic gardens, recycling, and energy-saving systems.
Let’s work together to make your lodge profitable, sustainable, and guest-loved.
