About this collection
On our morning walks, we go beyond simple identification. We teach you how to observe specific butterfly behaviors like mud-puddling or host-plant interaction, and help you recognize species by their unique flight paths and wing patterns. You will walk away knowing exactly what to look for in your own local parks, rather than just checking names off a list.
Day Trails: The Dance of Wings
Our day walks take you into habitats like the Asola-Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary or the sacred groves of Mangar Bani. During these sessions, we focus on the ecology of the Aravallis and local wetlands. You won't just see a butterfly; you will learn why it is there, which plants it relies on for nectar, and how restoration efforts like those at Asita East have created thriving urban refuges for pollinators.
Night Sessions: Lepidoptera Lights
Butterflies often get all the attention, but our nocturnal moth sessions—'Lepidoptera Lights'—reveal a completely different side of local nature. We use light screens in safe areas like Nehar Sahibi Farm to attract moths, displaying a stunning variety of neon greens, tiger stripes, and intricate camouflage that is invisible during the day. These sessions are perfect for anyone wanting to understand the vital role moths play as pollinators.
Expert-Led Learning
Every walk is facilitated by our team of naturalists, ecologists, and authors. We keep group sizes moderate (approx. 10 to 25 people) to ensure you have space to ask questions and use shared equipment, such as spotting scopes for macro observation. Whether you are a budding photographer looking to improve your focus on small subjects or a family wanting to explore green spaces in Delhi NCR or Ahmedabad, our team provides the scientific context to make every sighting meaningful. We also offer private naturalist experiences for those who prefer one-on-one guidance.
