100 % of O. A. T. travelers rated Narottam as " excellent "
Growing up in India has made me both an amateur cook and a perpetual“ foodie.” So along with history, art, and culture, I love sharing my love for food with my travelers, because Indian food also has a history and story to tell. Early on, I discovered that being able to facilitate unforgettable experiences for my travelers is what I love most about my job.

My mother never understood why I wanted to be a guide and not a doctor or lawyer, but I ' ve always enjoyed wildlife and the outdoors. So after I graduated from high school, I got an advanced degree in tour operations, and have been working as a guide ever since. With O. A. T. it ' s all about the culture, and that ' s what I know, that ' s how I grew up.
