About Us

Hi! We are Anjana and Rishi, avid wildlife lovers and keen explorers. Our love for wildlife has taken us places that we did not even dream of; and the best part is that the journey has just begun…

It all started with a vacation to Ladakh where we were awed by the majestic Himalayas. And so it happened, within a few months, we were planning our next vacation.

Somewhere in between, we fell in love with the vast flora and fauna that India has and this love shaped our future travel plans.

So, come along, be a part of our adventure……
