Wild India Eco Tours
Bird-watching in Goa – Ghats, Mangroves & Wetlands!
This was probably the most awaited bird-watching trip of 2015 with Wild India Eco Tours; a full 3 day bird-watching in the Goa. With me being a Goan, we have done birding in Goa every time we went home, but doing a full fledged birding trip was high on our wish list; and we were not wrong to be so much excited about it – 15 lifers & over 150+ species in 3 days with some very special sightings like the Great Hornbill, Mountain Imperial Pigeon, Blue-bearded Bee-eater and more..!!!

Bird-watching trip to Solapur grasslands
After a splendid trip to Dandeli, I had another trip scheduled; this time to Solapur with Wild India Eco Tours. This was my 1st birding trip with a group that is into arranging wildlife trips across India. I was not really sure what to expect as I had never been on such a trip before. My journey started with boarding the Siddheshwar express at 2:30 AM from Pune station. Everyone else had boarded the train from Mumbai and fortunately we all were in the same boogie.
