Wildlife experiences designed for curiosity, comfort and depth

Northeast India is not a single kind of wildlife destination. It is a shifting mosaic of floodplain grasslands, riverine forests, subtropical valleys, cloud forests, high mountain roads and quiet village landscapes. Each habitat reveals a different world.

With Pushpa Tours & Travels, wildlife tours can be shaped around your interests — classic mammal safaris, elusive small mammals, reptiles and amphibians, butterflies, dragonflies, orchids, fungi, night walks and macro-photography. We work with experienced local guides and specialist naturalists to create focused, ethical and memorable field experiences.

Choose your wildlife focus

Start with one theme, combine several, or let us design a route that balances big wildlife, rare species, photography, comfort and local experiences.

Flexible itineraries, from a short safari to a specialist expedition

Every tour is built around your time, interests and comfort level. You can plan a short 1–2 day Kaziranga safari, a focused Eaglenest extension for elusive mammals and cloud-forest biodiversity, or a longer 10–15 day wildlife journey combining Kaziranga, Nameri, Eaglenest, Dirang and nearby Eastern Himalayan landscapes.

Whether you want to photograph rhinos in golden grasslands, search for frogs and snakes at night, explore firefly-filled forest edges, or document orchids, butterflies, beetles and fungi, we can connect you with the right guides, naturalists and local experts.

Bengal tiger

Charismatic Mammal Safaris

Explore Kaziranga’s iconic floodplain landscape for Greater One-horned Rhinoceros, Asian Elephant, Wild Water Buffalo, deer, raptors and, with luck, Bengal Tiger. Ideal for first-time wildlife travellers, families and photographers.

Red panda

Elusive Mammals of Cloud Forests

Eaglenest and the surrounding Eastern Himalayan forests are suited to patient naturalists interested in harder-to-see species such as red panda, small cats, porcupines, civets, squirrels, primates and other secretive mammals.

Cloud forest frog

Herpetofauna & Night Walks

Slow forest walks after rain can reveal frogs, snakes, lizards and other nocturnal life of the Eastern Himalayan cloud forests. These tours are ideal for naturalists, photographers and travellers who enjoy careful observation.

Butterfly

Butterflies, Dragonflies & Beetles

For macro-photography enthusiasts, the region offers extraordinary smaller wildlife: butterflies, dragonflies, jewel beetles, moths, spiders and many other forest invertebrates that are often missed on conventional wildlife tours.

Bioluminescent mushroom

Fungi, Orchids & Hidden Forest Worlds

The wet forests of Northeast India are alive with seasonal fungi, orchids, mosses and glowing forest details. Specialist walks can focus on bioluminescent fungi, forest ecology, plant life and close-up photography.

Wildlife jeep safari

Family-friendly Wildlife Journeys

We also design easier wildlife holidays with comfortable stays, jeep safaris, river landscapes, short walks, cultural stops and flexible pacing for mixed-age groups and first-time Northeast India visitors.

Signature wildlife landscapes

Our wildlife routes focus on the same broad Northeast India circuit as our birding tours, but each itinerary is tuned to the wildlife groups, seasons and experiences you care about most.

Kaziranga rhinoceros
Kaziranga

Grassland safaris and iconic mammals

Kaziranga is the classic big-wildlife experience of Assam: tall elephant grass, wetlands, woodland patches and open floodplains shaped by the Brahmaputra. This is the place for rhinos, elephants, wild buffalo, deer, raptors and jeep safaris through one of India’s most dramatic wildlife landscapes.

Forest mammal in Northeast India
Eaglenest

Cloud forests, small mammals and nocturnal life

Eaglenest offers a completely different wildlife experience: misty forests, mountain roads, deep valleys, night sounds and subtle encounters. It is best suited to travellers who enjoy slow natural history — looking for mammals, frogs, snakes, insects, fungi, orchids and the small details that make cloud forests unforgettable.

Nameri river and forest wildlife
Nameri & Pakke landscape

River forests, elephants and quieter wilderness

Nameri combines semi-evergreen forest, riverine habitats and the Jia Bhoreli landscape. It is a quieter complement to Kaziranga and works beautifully for travellers interested in forest walks, river landscapes, elephants, birds, butterflies and relaxed nature-based travel.

Specialist-led experiences

For travellers with specific interests, we can build tours with local experts and subject specialists. Tell us what you want to see, photograph or learn, and we will shape the route accordingly.

Macro Photography

Butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, fungi, frogs, orchids and night-time forest details.

Night Walks

Slow, ethical night walks for frogs, snakes, insects, fireflies and nocturnal forest life.

Mammal Tracking

Routes designed around habitat, signs, camera-trap knowledge and local naturalist expertise.

Gentler wildlife itineraries with safaris, short walks, comfortable stays and flexible pacing.

Wildlife travel is personal. Some travellers come for rhinos and elephants, some for rare mammals, some for frogs and snakes, and some for the glowing, tiny, overlooked life of forests.

Share your interests, dates, group size and comfort preferences. We will help design a practical, beautiful and field-rich itinerary around the wildlife you care about most.
