This 3-4 hour trek starts right at dawn. It is the absolute best time for spotting active songbirds, hornbills, and raptors. The forest canopy comes alive during these hours, offering unparalleled bird activity before the heat of the day sets in.
An 8-hour deep immersion into the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. We travel far beyond the standard trails to explore the undisturbed tropical evergreen ecosystem, increasing your chances of spotting deep-forest endemics.
Using specialized low-light techniques, we safely track nocturnal life without disturbing them. This is your best opportunity to see the legendary Ceylon Frogmouth, Sri Lanka Bay Owl, and various nightjars.
Do you have a specific bird on your life list? Tell us beforehand. Our expert indigenous trackers will utilize their lifelong knowledge of seasonal nesting and feeding grounds to design a custom route specifically for your target species.
Photography requires patience. Unlike standard walking tours, this package moves slowly, allowing for extended observation times. Guides position you optimally for background isolation to ensure professional-grade wildlife shots.
Take a break from the dense jungle. The agricultural borders of Thattekad support an entirely different group of edge-habitat birds. This walk combines gentle birding with an authentic look at rural Kerala village life and spice farming.
Birding relies on nature. We operate rain or shine. Full refunds are provided for cancellations made 48 hours in advance. If severe weather (e.g., heavy monsoon flooding) forces us to cancel, you will be fully refunded or rescheduled.
Please wear dull-colored, breathable clothing (greens, browns, greys) to blend into the forest. Bright colors startle the birds. Closed-toe trekking shoes and long trousers are mandatory.
During damp months, leeches are a natural part of the ecosystem. We provide organic salt/tobacco powder repellents, but leech socks are highly recommended if you are visiting right after the monsoon.
Bring your own binoculars and camera gear. We practice strict ethical birding: no playback calls to stress the birds, and no flash photography for nocturnal species.
