"Three manificent days with Gireesh and his family. The best bird walks, the best food, and a really homey and joyful atmosphere. The very best part of my India trip so far. I'll be back. His mother and grandmother are now my sisters."

"Terrific, unexpected warm and friendly place with an expert guide."
Michael, Canada

"We had so much fun we came back the next year and stayed twelve days. It was relaxing and there were many things to do. Birding starts at the crack of dawn so staying in the park at the Jungle Bird Homestay is a real advantage."
John and Janet, USA
