He knows where to look for the birds. He knows all their names.
The key to being good with birds is knowing how to look for the clues. Surprisingly, birds leave a lot of evidence in the form of nests, feathers, and egg fragments. They also leave tracks on earth.
Find birds both small and large, from the small song-makers like bulbuls, tailorbirds, and flycatchers to the vivid ones like minivets, drongos, and thrushes. And then, somewhere above it all, a white-bellied sea eagle, tracing silent circles in the sky.

The land holds memory in its shape.
Ancient rock formations carved over millions of years, the soft, green contours of Nilgiri hills, the stillness of Emerald Lake, and the dry, deciduous forests of Bandipur - together they showcase contrasting landscapes that illustrate different chapters in earth's history. Mesmerising, weathered, and alive in ways not always visible at first glance.

The botanical symphony plays out differently across land and sea. Coastal vegetation bends with salt winds, whilst highland flora reaches towards cooler air. You can find a wide range of species from pneumatophores and epiphytes to ancient banyan trees, flowering rhododendrons, and tree trunks with cone-shaped thorns. This variety is shaped by elevation, rainfall, and soil, creating living habitats where every leaf, petal, and trunk tells its own story. It's a boundless world to explore.
They crawl, slide, slither, and hop. And flutter by too.
Littlearth is home to reptiles and an assortment of invertebrates like snails, butterflies, moths, beetles, spiders, frogs, scorpions, and snakes. The golden rule here is not to handle any creature unnecessarily, as most prefer to remain undisturbed in their chosen habitats.

Between the trees and across the clearings, life moves on four legs. Some thunder, some stalk, all belong.
Across these wild spaces, mammals live by subtle cues - alert, adaptive, in tune with their surroundings. Spotted deer in alert clusters, herds of gaur grazing in silence, solitary bison watching from the tree line. Elephants may pass without a sound, and primates stir the canopy. Predators, though elusive, play their part in the balance. Paths shared, territories respected. And together, they form the living heartbeat of these wild spaces.
