About this collection
Every walk we run is led by a working naturalist or ecologist, not just a guide. This means you get real-time explanations of bird calls, insect behavior, and habitat ecology, turning a simple weekend walk into a masterclass on your city's biodiversity.
Our team is composed of passionate ecologists, published authors, and seasoned birders who have spent years in the field. When you join an Earth Walk, you are guided by individuals like Sohail Madan, who has developed butterfly habitats across the country, or Ishtiyak Ahamad, an expert with over 5,000 sessions of field experience.
We believe that a nature walk is more than a casual stroll. It is an opportunity to engage with the wild, understand migration patterns, and learn to identify species by sound and movement. Our leaders are actively involved in citizen science, including eBird reviews and official Forest Department surveys, ensuring that the information you receive is backed by current scientific data.
Whether you are a beginner looking to understand bird behavior or a photography enthusiast wanting to master hide techniques, our workshops and walks are tailored to your needs. You get access to professional-grade equipment, such as shared spotting scopes, and receive direct guidance on how to spot elusive species.
We operate across Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad, choosing locations ranging from the Dhanauri Wetland to hidden green corridors within the city. Our goal is to make conservation accessible. By joining us, you contribute to a larger understanding of our urban ecosystems while connecting with like-minded nature enthusiasts. We keep our group sizes moderate to ensure that every participant has the chance to ask questions and learn directly from the experts leading the session.
