Herping Adventures: Discover Reptiles & Amphibians in Delhi NCR

The Urban Wild Paradox

People often see the Aravallis as empty, dusty hills, but the reality is a thriving, secret ecosystem. Our herping expeditions are designed to flip that perspective. We walk through micro-habitats that many hikers pass by, slowing down to focus on what happens in the dirt, on the rocks, and under the logs.

What We Document

We don't chase animals for a quick shot. Our approach is about observation. We actively search for and document diverse species, including:

• Snakes: Identifying non-venomous residents like the Glossy-bellied Racer, Russell's Kukri, and the Common Sand Boa, while respecting the space of venomous ones like the Saw-scaled Viper.
• Geckos & Lizards: Spotting the beautiful Leopard Gecko and Fan-throated Lizards in their rocky domains.
• Amphibians: Tracking frogs and toads in monsoon-affected areas.

Your Role in Conservation

Every walk is a lesson in coexistence. We talk about why these animals matter for rodent control and the balance of our local environment. We address the tough realities of habitat loss and the risks snakes face on our roads. By photographing these animals and sharing your images, you contribute to a better understanding of what actually lives here, which is the first step toward protecting these spaces. Whether you bring a professional DSLR or just your phone, you will leave with a new way of looking at the ground beneath your feet.
