Munnar Herping & Macro Wildlife Photography Expedition 2027

– 3 Nights / 4 Days

Discover the Hidden World of the Western Ghats

When darkness falls over the mist-covered hills of Munnar, an entirely different rainforest comes alive. Hidden among moss-covered rocks, mountain streams and evergreen forests are some of the world’s rarest amphibians and reptiles—many found nowhere else on Earth.

This exclusive expedition takes you deep into the heart of the UNESCO-recognised Western Ghats, one of the world’s richest biodiversity hotspots. Designed for wildlife photographers, macro enthusiasts and nature lovers, the expedition combines expert local naturalists with personalised photography mentoring by Yogesh Bhatia.

Learn to photograph elusive frogs, snakes, geckos and other nocturnal wildlife using ethical field practices while improving your macro photography skills through hands-on guidance.

Whether you are carrying your first macro lens or are an experienced wildlife photographer, this expedition offers an unforgettable opportunity to explore one of India’s most extraordinary ecosystems.
