Volunteering and experience specialists, PLENTI,

are planning a special tour for bird enthusiasts and
those who would like to learn about bird and other
wildlife, and their natural habitat, in and around the
Gudalur Valley of the Nilgiri Hills in South India. A
highlight will be an introduction to, and by, the
indigenous tribal people of
the area and their
culture and traditions. Except for a night in Mysore,
for a visit to a famous bird park, accommodation
will be a purpose-built luxury guest house owned by
the tribal community. Excluding airfares, the tour
price is inclusive of all costs, including a tiger safari
and yoga sessions, which are optional.

Naturalist, Sandeep G, will lead the tour. Sandeep

co-founded Pikalara, a collection of conservationists
and naturalists working to protect biodiversity and
create awareness around its importance. He has
been leading wildlife seminars in Bangalore for the
last ten years and has been heavily involved in
rescuing and rehabilitating urban wildlife where it
is under threat and in distress -snakes as well as
wild animals and birds. He is a researcher at the
Foundation for Ecological Research Advocacy and
Learning (FERAL) especially focusing on the
‘Frontier Elephant Programme’ which studies
individuals and populations of elephants in human-
dominated landscapes of South India. He is
currently engaged on a project, devising strategies
for co-existence between farmers and wildlife,
particularly elephants. Sandeep has worked as a
naturalist and researcher in varied landscapes and

on a range of projects and, amongst other activities,

has led nature camps, biodiversity surveys and
birding workshops.
