There are many reasons why we need to save our tigers but we believe, unless you've seen one in the wild, you'll never find your own reason to save them.

As of today, India has 53 Tiger Reserves and numerous other tiger habitats across the country. Choose your tiger habitat, travel and find your own reason to save the tiger!

On May 9, during regular patrolling on elephants at Orang National Park in Assam, forest guards found a rhinoceros bleeding from the nose and its signature horn missing. It was the first poaching incident in five years at Orang, famous for one of the highest densities of one-horned rhinoceros in the...

"And the last puff of the day-wind brought from the unseen villages the scent of damp wood-smoke, hot cakes, dripping undergrowth, and rotting pine-cones. That is the true smell of the Himalayas, and if once it creeps into the blood of a man, that man will at the last, forgetting all else, return to the hills to die." - Rudyard Kipling

Serve some fresh vegetables from the kitchen garden, fragrant and delicate Joha rice, some grilled tomato chutney, locally grown lentils and a couple of 'Borali Maas' (Wallago Catfish) caught a few hours back, marinated and grilled whole over a charcoal fire.....and you'll probably get pin drop silence on the dining table. And big smiles at the end of the meal.

On our travels around the Northeast along with our guests we get to eat some of the most delicious food the region has to offer. And come February, we will be heading out on a food filled journey, trying out the variety that Assam has to offer! So if you're the kind who loves to travel for food, keep watching this space!

Rolling hills, meandering trails and endless blue skies!

One of the day activities we enjoy taking our guests on is a hike through the hills to one of our favourite spots - a beautiful waterfall hidden deep in a river valley amidst thick forests. The day is spent swimming in an iridescent pool, enjoying a picnic lunch and napping on a durrie after spending time in the water.

Day hikes like these are a wonderful experience because it gives our guests a chance to switch off from the rigours of daily life and enjoy the serenity and quiet that only a walk in the midst of nature, can offer!

"Thank you for a great tour! The Madras Gang really enjoyed the trip. Your planning and ex*****on were faultless and your graciousness to accommodate all special requests and your courtesy and thoughtfulness in ensuring our care and comfort throughout were much appreciated by all!"
-The Madras Gang

Thank you 'Madras Gang'. It was a pleasure to host and travel with you. And an even greater pleasure seeing the smile on your faces when you all saw your very first tiger, in over 30 years of travelling together.

A journey to the centre of the earth!

We followed a river on its journey, as it flows down a canyon. Saw millennia old erosion as the water cut into rock and made for the most amazing landscape. Jumped from rocked to rock. Crawled through holes in the rock. Forded the river in places. Came across beautiful waterfalls and even more gorgeous and pristine swimming holes. Dropped deeper and deeper into the canyon, till we couldn't go any further because of a 1000 feet drop the river takes as one of the country's most amazing waterfalls. Adventure at its finest!

Join us this winter, as we continue to explore all that the Northeast of India has to offer.

As travel gathers steam, as you slowly venture out on your adventures anew, make it a point to do it somewhat different this time around. Make it a point to stop in small places, patronise the locals, try their wares and shop from them. Chances are you'll be in for a treat. And they will be able to enjoy a little bit more than their usual.

Meet 'Baido' (affectionately - elder sister in Assamese) who runs a small shop on National Highway 27, one of Assam's main highways. She always has the some of the best bamboo craft products, all made by the local artisans of the area and also the choicest coconuts - ones with extra succulent 'nariyal' for those who like it and ones with extra sweet 'paani' for those who just can't get enough of it. Baido always has something for everyone.

But what we enjoy the most at her shop, are the blessings she has for us whenever we pull in with our friends, guests and fellow travellers!

The entire herd had crossed over to the other side of this 'beel' or water body. The only ones left were this juvenile, mother and her few weeks old calf. We could make out that the calf was not too sure of the crossing as it kept getting into the water and running back out. All through this period of indecision, which lasted for over 20 minutes, the mother and juvenile waited patiently and never once tried to force the calf to cross. It was only when the calf had mustered up enough courage on its own did mum slowly start to lead it across the water while the juvenile brought up the rear. It was a wonderful sight watching these elephants in their natural habitat. Made us realise we have so much in common and so much to learn from them. The most important lesson of them all being, patience!

India has the largest population of tigers roaming about in the wild and in their natural habitat. A forest that supports wild tigers is a healthy forest. Being apex predators, tigers play a pivotal role in keeping in check the population of wild ungulates which in turn helps the ecosystem.

This onwards, let's spread the word about why we need tigers in our forest and also do our bit in ensuring their survival!

A binocular. Nature. And time to take it all in.

The fascination and love for the wilderness and all things wild has been inculcated from a tender age. The earliest memories date back to trips into the jungles and forests of Northeast India and camping in old forest rest houses which had definitely seen better days. In those days, there were no lodges or places to stay, except for the old forest rest houses which came with a 'chowkidar' who also doubled up as camp cook. Those were fantastic days and the journeys into the jungles were even better!

Pictured here is a Willys CJ and us exploring the wilderness that Orang National Park was, sometime in the mid 1980's.

Fresh out of the spa!

The Asiatic Wild Buffalo (Bubalus Arnee) has a enduring relationship with mud. These buffaloes, listed on the IUCN Red list since 1986, spend a lot of their time wallowing in mud holes. This is because the mud helps in removing ticks and other insects from their bodies as well as helps them in regulating their body temperature, especially in the scorching summer months.

We came across this fine specimen in the midst of the safari track on its way to a feed, after which it will probably head back for another spa session!

Sporting tusks that are a dentist's dream, this big male Indian Elephant made us wait a while by hiding in the tall grass that Kaziranga is famous for. But when he did step out of the grasslands, he was a specimen to admire, giving our guests and us a sighting we still remember. Happy to also note that the big tuskers still walk the expansive grasslands of Kaziranga National Park. Travel with us as we continue to explore the exciting wildlife destination that the Northeast of India is. #elephant #tusker #kaziranga #wildlife #wildlifephotography #incredibleindia #swagger #habitat #naturelovers #wildlifesafari #assam #slowtravel #bespoke #curated #travel #whitewingedjourneys #whereisnortheast #northeast #thegreatoutdoors #bbctravel #cntraveler #canon #outlooktraveller #lonelyplanetindia #natgeoyourshot #instatravel #outdoor #instagood #junglebook #instavideo

Stripes being adventurous! Langurs are normally not on the menu for tigers but this one seems to make an exception. Though good climbers, tigers generally don't put the skill to good use, especially on a tree of this size. Our guess is that this particular tiger was an sub-adult and feeling a little adventurous. It must have been a heart pounding few moments for the Langur though! These are the sightings every wildlife enthusiast dreams of having and we're no different!
