Why us

A few things worth knowing

On the news

Ajkal recorded a podcast with us

The Bengali daily sat down with us to talk about running small-group safaris out of Kolkata, and why we work one park properly instead of selling forty destinations.

Chandrabindoo in Corbett

The band came to the forest with us. Same trains, same jeeps, same gates as everybody else on this page — we do not run a separate trip for anyone.
