We have been deeply engaged in on-field wildlife conservation for nearly four decades and have been operating species-specific tours for about 25 years. We are recognized by India’s Department of Tourism and are members of IATO (Indian Association of Tour Operators).
From our long experience in the field we know where rare and endangered species are found. If you have any wildlife encounters you would especially treasure, please let us know when booking. We aim to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to help guests feel at home. Personalized service is our standard practice. We have guests repeating tours with us and some join hands for our conservation programmes.
Our tours give you particularly special wildlife opportunities: such as encountering the rarest of India’s birds, the Great Indian Bustard; coming to know the endemic birds of the spectacular Rann of Kutchh; and coming close to tigers in particularly successful tiger reserves. We bring guests face to face with rare and exciting wildlife in a range of magnificent habitats. About 220 bird species are winter migrants in areas you will tour:
waders — 70 species, specifically aquatic – 50 species, raptors – 30 species, cranes – 3 species,
others — 65 species (Flycatchers, Warblers, Buntings, Finches, Chats, Wheat-eaters, Minivets, Pipita, Larks, Swallows, Sandgrouse, etc).
Meeting members of the conservation community (the Bishnoi) and having a walk after sunset to spot nocturnal species are the types of extras that make our tours so special. Our guests enjoy learning how local people lead sustainable life.
Some colleagues from local communities who work with us in wildlife conservation have become the truly accomplished Bird Guides and Naturalists of our tours. They excel in identification of species, alert to their tracks, their calls, and the ways creatures interact.
Our Indian Tours is engaged in some unique conservation initiatives. We founded and run the Indian Birding Fair, which has been introducing children to the wonders of bird watching for the past 25 years; we work to improve the habitat of White-naped Tit (Nahargarh); we helped restore Man Sagar lake as a prime birding habitat in Jaipur; and hold Environmental Education Workshops for school teachers. Our ex situ breeding programme of House Sparrows has received popular support among citizens. Our visiting guests are invited to such sites to understand the on-ground realities in a country like India where non government conservation continues to be a challenge.
