Founders of Wildlife Sojourns, spouses Bhasmang and Zankhana Mehta

Zankhana is co-founder of Wildlife Sojourns and an eager filmmaker who has made some notable short films on the wildlife of India. While Big cats have been her favorite subjects to capture on the lens, she has also done some notable works on butterflies.
