Presented by Ken Sobon

Join Ken Sobon on an exhilarating journey through the high-altitude foothills of the Himalayan mountains known as the Mishmi Hills, and the lowlands of the renowned tea plantations of Assam. This is arguably one of the world’s most exotic birding destinations, offering a chance to explore seldom-visited and remote corners of northeast India. Through the lens of Ken’s camera, see some of Asia’s most tantalizing and desirable species, including the stunning Blyth’s Tragopans, Ward’s Trogon, Beautiful Nuthatch, Swamp Francolin, localized Chestnut-backed Laughing Thrush, and Collared Treepie. This tour took Ken to some of Asia’s best and rarely visited birding sites, where he encountered many elusive species.

Beyond birding, the tour also allowed Ken to explore the diverse mammals of northeast India at Kaziranga National Park, a breathtaking wilderness renowned for its exceptional biodiversity. This area gained its fame as one of the last places on Earth where the prehistoric Indian Rhinoceros can be found. no other site in Asia can match the vast herds of big mammals to be seen, like the Asian Water Buffalo, Barasingha, Hog Deer, and Northern Red Muntjac.
