Steve Dougill

Steve is a certified bird nut. He grew up in the UK and quickly began the field biologist’s life, migrating from one wildlife preserve to the next across six continents. Currently based in Washington State, he leads field trips, mentors new guides, and takes small groups to places most tour companies don’t reach.

Steve fell in love with India at nineteen and never fully left. He has led more than 15 birding tours across northern India and was among the very first Western birding guides to work in Ladakh, returning every few years since the late 1980s. His relationships with local guides, wildlife trackers, and village contacts throughout the region are the reason you get information and access that other tour groups don’t. When a Snow Leopard is found in a valley above Hanle, Steve’s phone rings.
