agreed that Goa would provide a good compromise between those who are primarily interested in birding, and those more interested in sightseeing, daily Indian lifestyle and culture, as well as visiting remote beaches and have an ocean swim (water temperature 24 degrees) from time to time. Goa did not disappoint us in all these aspects, and is greatly recommended for other birders with their spouse and family. Good birds, good food, easy travelling, friendly people, good climate in winter (30 degrees Celsius, low humidity, bright blue skyes). ....Trip

Peter Lobo has researched birding sites on the ground with a host of local guides, to create tours for bird watchers. Exciting itineraries have been evolved, and new hot spots located in Tholung Valley in Sikkim – a virgin area for birders. Joining hands with expert birders, tours have been extended to Kaziranga, and Nameri National Parks in Assam and Namdhapa in Arunachal Pradesh. Gurudongma Adventures believe that "small is beautiful", catering for individuals, couples, and small groups, in order to build a rapport with our guests. Conversations, varied cuisine, carefully chosen accommodation, knowledgeable and caring escorts, interesting itineraries, and reliability, are the basis of a truly personalized service. |
