Feeling deserted!
This is what a drive across the Little Rann of Kutch looks and sounds like...
These dry parched flatlands are home to an unbelievable 19 mammal species, 178 bird species and 33 herpetofauna species!
This includes the endemic Indian Wild Ass - a beautiful equine that's never been domesticated!
To truly understand adaptation on planet earth, there's no place like a wild desert. Plants and animals adapt to thrive in the most dire of conditions here.
Trips to LRK and the rest of Gujarat are open for bookings: DM us for details :)

Very, very high!
At nearly 18,000 feet above MSL, here's a 360-degree view of the Gurudongmar Lake area in Sikkim, the highest lake in India.
Your heart stands still as your body tries to acclimate to the thin air. But are you breathless because of altitude, or because you're witnessing the surreal beauty of this natural wonder?
In the vicinity of this lake, at this altitude, live a number of remarkable animals and birds.
DM us for deets if you want to get away :)

I earned these stripes!
The Indian Striped Hyena is quite a rare sighting in the wild, and we got very lucky with this one, twice!
This is a mother Hyena, walking towards her den, where her pups are. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see the pups, but this was a thrilling sighting nonetheless.
She spent nearly half an hour close to us and gave us some really good photo ops :)
Don't forget to notice the #blackbucks chilling in the background!
The Striped Hyena is slightly smaller than its Spotted African cousin, and relies more on scavenging, than hunting. (The African Spotted Hyena hunts around 50% of its meals, scavenging the rest)
A wilderness experience including safaris to a national park with Heynas, Wolves and Blackbucks is now live!
DM us for details :)
