What is the story about?
Adesh Shivkar, 50, has spent nearly two decades insisting on a simple idea: nature tourism is not leisure, it is education.
In 2007, Shivkar left a career in the pharmaceutical industry to found Nature
India Tours, turning a boyhood passion for birding into a lifelong pursuit. At the time, wildlife travel in India was limited, expensive and geared largely towards foreign tourists, offering little beyond tiger safaris. Shivkar chose a different path, organising tours rooted in his expertise as a birder and naturalist. At the centre of his tours was learning, not spectacle.
