About this Jrny

North-western India is a wildlife wonderland, and we dive right into its wild heart on this exhilarating journey. This Jrny is curated by India’s leading Naturalist and Wildlife Maestro, Narayana.

Our adventure begins in Gir National Park, the last refuge of the majestic Asiatic lion. We roam its forests on thrilling game drives and soak in the sounds of the wild on peaceful nature walks. Then it's off to Velavadar, where graceful blackbucks leap through golden grasslands and the skies brim with birdlife—pure safari magic.

In the surreal salt flats of Little Rann of Kutch, we chase sightings of the rare wild ass, meet salt-makers, and uncover desert secrets on every game drive. Mount Abu offers a refreshing change with its cool breeze, scenic hikes, and the charming Green Munia. Jawai brings us face-to-face with leopards in a rocky, raw landscape where wildlife and local life coexist in harmony.

Khichan enchants with the swirling spectacle of migratory birds, while Desert National Park throws us into a dune-dotted wilderness alive with raptors and desert dwellers. Finally, Jaisalmer charms us with its golden fort, rich culture, and delicious cuisine. Join us for a wild ride through India’s most untamed and unforgettable corners!

Narayana has tracked snow leopards in Ladakh and trained rangers at Taj Safari Lodges. Born in Kabini’s wild heart, his journeys across India are a tribute to untamed nature. With JrnyOn, every trip with him is a chapter in a wild adventure, inspiring the next generation to follow their calling.
