We present sensitive high resolution near infrared (NIR) broad band (J, H, and K) observations of a sample of 31 Star Forming Regions (SFRs) which contain H_2O and OH maser sources. The observations are aimed at the detection and characterization of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) which may be the source of excitation of the maser emission. In spite of the large number of sources detected in the regions, using positional coincidence and NIR colours we are able to reliably identify K-band sources related to the masing gas in a large fraction of the observed regions. The NIR infrared sources selected from close positional coincidence with the maser show strong NIR excesses and most probably represent the YSOs still embedded in their parental cocoon where the maser emission occurs. Based on observations collected at Las Campanas Observatory, Carnegie Institution of Washington.
