Himanshu is passionate about wildlife. Following this passion led him to work in the Jungles of Madhya Pradesh. He worked for three years with Taj Safaris a famous wildlife safari company which is run in collaboration by the Taj group of Hotels and &beyond an African safari company. Himanshu worked with Taj Safaris as a resident Naturalist at Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh. His work was to give an interpretative safari experience to the guests in the jungle and also to host them at the lodge. Being in the jungle, he also indulged in a lot of nature photography, glimpses of which can now be seen on the walls of Pratap Bhawan. Himanshu now runs Pratap Bhawan as a Home Stay and hosts the guests who stay with him. He also freelances, taking tours to the jungles.
