The faculty of the Heber Au Sable Institute of Bishop Heber College, in Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, South India, served as our hosts and escorts on the trip. Post graduate students in Environmental Science from Bishop Heber College completed the group. Our base of operations during the course is at Bishop Heber College in Tiruchirapalli. Travel throughout India is by comfortable vans, driven by professional drivers.
Meals are typical South Indian fare, including both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
Regular devotions are incorporated into the program. The real adventure, and the real learning, takes place in the field, as we visit sites along the Coromandel Coast and across Peninsular India. 150 species of birds have been recorded on each trip. The wildlife is spectacular. You will never forget your first sighting of a wild elephant in the forest.
