About this collection
You do not need to be an expert or own expensive gear to join us. We provide shared high-definition spotting scopes on every walk, and our naturalists will teach you how to set up your binoculars to spot 'little brown jobs'—those subtle warblers that are often missed. Whether it is a 2-hour morning session or a deeper dive into bird behavior, you leave with a checklist and a new way to look at the trees in your local park.
Our urban birding sessions are structured around active observation rather than passive viewing. We focus on birding by ear, teaching participants to identify species like the Coppersmith Barbet or Oriental White-eye by their distinct calls before they even spot them in the canopy.
In the National Capital Region, our walks at Okhla Bird Sanctuary are timed to catch peak wetland activity, where you might see Glossy Ibis or the Red Avadavat. In Ahmedabad, our sessions at Gujarat University and Parimal Garden focus on green urban pockets that serve as vital corridors for local biodiversity, offering a quiet escape from city noise.
Every walk includes a post-session eBird checklist compilation to help you build your own history of sightings. Whether you are a total beginner who just bought your first pair of binoculars or an experienced birder looking for localized expertise, our senior naturalists tailor the pace and depth of the session to the group. We aim to show you that nature is not something you have to travel far to find; it is likely nesting in the trees outside your window.
Asian Adventures
We are a team of naturalists, writers, and conservationists who believe the wildest places are often right outside your front door. For over 30 years, we have taken people on expeditions from Ladakh to Borneo, but we love showing locals how to find magic in their own city parks. We keep our groups small, our pace slow, and our focus entirely on understanding the nature around us.
