Home › Asia › India

India is a land of astonishing contrasts—where ancient temples rise from forested hills, and wildlife thrives beside centuries-old palaces. From the snow-dusted Himalayas to tropical coasts and sunbaked plains, its landscapes are as varied as its cultures. Here, nature and heritage are inseparable. You will find tigers in Mughal-era hunting grounds, rare birds in sacred groves, and spices that tell stories of trade and tradition. Warm, diverse, and deeply layered—India is endlessly enriching.

One Month Mega India Birding and Wildlife 2024 – Tour Report

The Taj Mahal left us quiet. The tiger sighting took our breath away. The birds, one after another, kept us watching. India opened up slowly. Each place had its own rhythm. In Agra we stood in silence, in Ranthambore we listened to the forest, and in Bharatpur we followed the skies. Nothing felt rushed or forced. We were not moving through a checklist. We were present in the moment. The birding was among the best I have ever done. The wildlife was unforgettable. The people I met felt like friends. With Endemic Explorer, everything felt in place. The travel, the comfort, the local insight—each part supported the other. It worked without effort. It was the kind of journey you do not forget.
