Wildlife Photography Expeditions in Delhi NCR
Think Delhi is just concrete and traffic? Join me for a deep dive into the Aravalli hills and wetlands, where leopards, rare raptors, and nocturnal wonders thrive right next to our city.
This is the reality of wildlife in our Millennium City. We spotted this magnificent leopard watching over the traffic from the Aravalli hills, a powerful reminder that we share our urban spaces with these elusive predators.
A Barn Owl finds a moment of peace on a highway divider amidst the blur of city lights. On our tours, we show you how wildlife has adapted to survive, and even thrive, in the most unexpected corners of Delhi NCR.

The monsoon brings out some of the region's most secretive creatures, like this stunningly patterned Leopard Gecko. Our herping walks are timed perfectly to give you the best chance of spotting these rare reptiles and amphibians.
This drone shot captures a tiger, ST2303, taking refuge in a mustard field in Haryana. We were called to assist in the state's first-ever tiger rescue, a powerful story of conservation success and the tragic challenges of shrinking habitats.

During a night walk, we documented what we believe is the first record of a stick insect in Delhi NCR. It's these moments of discovery that make every exploration a true adventure.
About this collection
On these expeditions, we don't just point and shoot; we track. Whether you are using a DSLR or a smartphone, I guide you through the process of reading pugmarks, setting up ethical lighting for macro subjects, and understanding the behavior of species like the Indian Leopard or the migratory birds of Sultanpur. You’ll learn how to find, approach, and document wildlife without disturbing their habitat, ensuring the experience is as educational as it is visually rewarding.
My work focuses on the intersection of urban development and wild spaces. When you join one of my guided tours, you are stepping into the field with someone who spends days researching the local landscape. We operate across a variety of terrains—from the rocky outcrops of the Aravallis in Gurgaon to the marshy wetlands of Najafgarh.
How We Work
Every expedition is tailored to the environment and the season. During our night walks, we use thermal scouting and high-lumen torches to track nocturnal mammals like striped hyenas and jungle cats. Our macro photography sessions in the monsoon are perfect for finding rare reptiles and amphibians, including the Leopard Gecko, while our birding trips are timed to catch the sunrise activity at key migration hotspots.
Ethics and Conservation
This isn't just about getting the shot; it is about respecting the subject. We follow strict protocols for ethical wildlife interaction, especially when tracking large predators. I don't believe in baiting or aggressive pursuit. Instead, we use tracking techniques like scat analysis and alarm call identification to observe animals in their natural state. We also use these walks as a platform for conservation education, discussing the real-world pressures these species face from habitat loss and light pollution. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand your camera settings or an enthusiast aiming to document species behavior, my goal is to give you a clearer view of the 'urban wild' right in our backyard.

I’m Yatin. I’m not here to show you pretty, staged pictures; I want to show you the wild world hiding in our backyard. My team and I spend our nights tracking hyenas and our mornings birding in the wetlands, and we take you along for the real deal.
