Ken gorge vulture colonies
Winter waterfowl arrivals
Dry season territory shifts
Long-billed and red-headed vultures have initiated ledge repairs on the sheer sandstone cliffs above the Ken gorge, taking advantage of cool morning thermals.
Bar-headed geese and ruddy shelducks have congregated along quiet backwaters near Madla, foraging among submerged vegetation beneath quiet river willows.
Water table contractions have pulled resident leopards toward perennial gorge springs, concentrating nocturnal movements along dry nullah crossings.
Voices from the vehicle
Devendra cuts the engine long before an animal turns nervous. We sat in silence for forty minutes until the tigress led her cubs across the dry stream.
Julian M., Wildlife Photographer
The depth of his raptor knowledge transformed our understanding of the Ken River cliffs. You leave with an entire ecosystem decoded, not just photographs.
Dr. Sunita K., Ornithologist
Tracking pugmarks on foot before dawn with Devendra showed us how to truly read the forest floor. An unforgettable, deeply respectful field journey.
