Travel Stories, Insights, and Trip Reports

This trip report recounts our recent bird photography journey through Papua New Guinea, a land of extraordinary avian wonders. From the misty highlands to lowland rainforests, we photographed iconic birds-of-paradise, kingfishers, and endemics—each encounter a vivid reminder of why this country remains a bucket-list destination for bird photographers worldwide.
This trip report from Manus Island details our journey into one of Papua New Guinea’s most remote birding frontiers, in pursuit of the island’s most iconic and elusive bird—the superb pitta. Endemic to Manus, this vividly coloured species draws birders from across the globe. Every expedition here is shaped by the hope of a sighting, offering not only a thrilling avian encounter but also an immersion into a rarely explored tropical wilderness.
The Taj Mahal left us speechless. The tiger left us breathless. And the birds—hundreds of them—left us spellbound. India revealed itself slowly, one place at a time. From Agra’s marble silence to Ranthambore’s jungles and Bharatpur’s bird-filled skies, every stop gave us something real. We were not rushing through a checklist—we were living the experience. The birding was world-class, the wildlife unforgettable, and the friendships genuine. With Endemic Explorer, it all came together naturally, with just the right mix of adventure, comfort, and local knowledge
