Can humans truly coexist alongside 600-pound apex predators? In honor of International Tiger Day, India Expedition Leader Aditya Panda explores this year’s theme: “Harmonious Coexistence between Humans and Tigers.” Drawing from India’s 50 years of tiger conservation—where 4,000 big cats share space with 1.4 billion people—Aditya shares lessons from his own conservation work, as well as wild tiger tales from the field. Find out what India’s success can teach the world about living with large carnivores and the future of tiger conservation.

The jungles of Ranthambore National Park offer some of India's top tiger viewing—and we take you there at the best time of year to find them! Expedition Leader Payal Mehta details our most tiger-intensive itinerary, including how we organize this seven-day safari to ensure outstanding opportunities for Bengal tiger sightings, as well as other Indian wildlife like sloth bears, striped hyenas and leopards. She shares packing tips, previews our luxury accommodations surrounded by nature, and explains how our presence helps protect threatened tiger populations.

The barasingha—or swamp deer—is one of the most endangered mammals in the world. Living exclusively in India and Nepal, these large, regal deer rely almost entirely on marsh grasses for sustenance, which poses a dire challenge as their habitats have shrunk due to human encroachment, climate change and other factors. Expedition Leader Yaju Upadhyaya introduces us to the barasingha, including its biology, behavior and the role it plays in its ecosystem. He also shares how conservation efforts brought this cervid back from the brink of extinction, and what’s being done to protect it today.
