As the monsoon fades away, the grass grows taller slowly turning from green to golden. It’s the time of year when the sky is a rainbow of colours and there’s beauty, excitement and change all around. This year, we are taking this opportunity to change our season and take a break from now till the new year. We look forward to Khoj-aao! with all of you again soon. 💚

Oh, the monsoon colors!

Aside from 50 shades of green, the insects, wildflowers and funga are dotting the landscape with their brilliance. Check out this photo of Dacrymyces spathularia, fan-shaped jelly fungus, observed on a rotting log, on a backyard nature trail in Assagao. Stay tuned for news about our upcoming fungus sessions!

Just wrapped up our 7th season of 🏕️

Thanks to all who joined us for overnight adventures. From night trails (scorpions! spiders!) and stargazing (shooting stars! so many constellations!) to river walks and exploring incredible biodiversity (snakes! birds!)— Goa’s forests are indeed beautiful. 💚🥰

Early morning birdwatching trails along the mangroves are the best!

Such a pleasure participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count, a citizen science initiative to document bird populations and species across the globe, with a group of folks (ages 4 to 47!) from around the world.

We spotted 35+ species of birds highlights included Malabar Pied hornbills, a Stork billed Kingfisher, Painted storks and the majestic Purple heron.

Village views — green hues and sky blues.

Of the 173 spider species found here in Goa, these must be two of the coolest!

Meet the Snail mimic spider (Cyrtarachninae sp) in Photos 1 & 2 and the Bird dung spider (Pasilobus sp) in Photos 3 & 4. Both of these are orb-weaver spiders— those that build circular wheel-like webs, many having to build new ones every day.

These were spotted on a Khoj-aao! Backyard Nature Trail in with (great spotting and amazing photographs!)

Slithering into February, this one is a throwback to one of our favorite snake encounters of the season. Known to be quick on the ground and in trees, this juvenile Common bronzeback tree snake, non-venomous and found throughout India, fell onto us from a tree!
