This expedition has just finished a seven week stay on the Nagin Lake, where it came to study the behaviour of the common kingfisher. Throughout this time we have all been most excellently cooked after by Mr.Abdul Rahman Ratta and his family on the ‘Montana’ Where I had the pleasure of spending several weeks last year.
We were very much avoided in our studies by the kind loan of two Shakira’s and the knowledge that meals would be prepared for us on time when we would return between field trips. In particular, great care and consideration was taken in the preparation of our food –all of which was excellent and pleasantly visited.
We are grateful to him also for organising and taking us on a most enjoyable trip to Gulmarg.
We have no hesitation in recommending Mr.A Ratta to anyone wishing for a reliable and trustworthy host in Kashmir.
