Personalised Bird Watching, Photography & Wildlife Tours
Bangalore · Mysore · Coorg & the Western Ghats
We offer guided birding and wildlife trips around Bangalore, specialising in one-day and weekend outings for business visitors on a tight schedule. Our guides are experienced birders and full-time naturalists, employed from the local communities and fluent in English.
The guides are also accomplished bird photographers who will provide record shots of your sightings and offer tips to improve your photography in the field. We will go out of our way to ensure every client has a great birding experience.
You will be picked up at a venue of your choice in Bangalore and dropped back at the end of the outing. Depending on the species you wish to see, we suggest locations and use the most appropriate vehicle to minimise walking.
Expert Local Guides
Full-time naturalists from local communities with exceptional knowledge of calls, habitat and behaviour.
Photography Support
Guides are skilled bird photographers who position vehicles for the best angles and lighting.
Eco-Responsible
A percentage of revenue goes back to local communities to ensure conservation remains profitable.
Flexible Itineraries
One-day, weekend and multi-day trips tailored to your target species, schedule and experience level.
Personal service and getting to know each guest and their individual needs is at the heart of what we do. Bangalore is in Karnataka and is a short drive from the Western Ghats in South India, where at least 16 endemics can be found.
It is also the closest international airport for access to Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, Bannerghatta National Park, Rajiv Gandhi National Park (Nagarhole), Mudumalai National Park (Bandipur/Masinagudi) and Kabini. A weekend trip out of Bangalore takes you through rural villages, agricultural areas, wetlands, lakes and protected forests.
Tigers, Elephants & More
Bangalore is not far from the tiger sanctuaries of Nagarhole and Bandipur. We can organise wildlife safaris within the national parks — with a good chance of spotting a tiger in the wild alongside elephants and other large herbivores.
