Following on from previous successful trips I am planning another expedition in Sep 2009 specifically for herpetophiles & invert fans.
The trip will be led by National Geographics first Indian Adventurer and expert herpetologist - Gerry Martin. We will stay at the Madras Croc Bank and also at Romulus Whitakers Rainforest Research Station in Agumbe and we will trek through some of the most biodiverse regions in Southern India. Along the way we will explore all different kinds of habitat from farm and scrubland to rivers and tropical montane rainforests to the coastline and sea in search of India’s rich and intriguing herpetofauna including such species as King Cobras, spectacled cobras, common kraits, russells & saw scaled vipers as well as a range of pit vipers, vine snakes, monitor lizards, mugger crocodiles, chameleons and much, much more including various Theraphosid spiders, scorpions and giant centipedes
You will meet those individuals at the forefront of herpetological research and conservation in India today. Not only will you be able to learn from the best herpetologists and wildlife trackers, but you will also get to herp and explore in an incredibly beautiful part of the world before chilling out on the beach in North Kerala.
