Varun Narain Mathur, JungleSutra
When I think of India, I tend to think of historic palaces
such as the Taj Mahal. Or, the Hindu mystical practices popularized by the
movie Eat, Pray, Love.
But a recent luncheon in Toronto introduced me to another
side of India – that of jungle trekking and a rich wildlife teeming with large
cats, primates and birds in numbers to rival those found on Africa’s savannahs.
The Indian subcontinent as a wildlife destination is the
story Indian journeys operator
JungleSutra
wants to share with your clients.
According to Varun Narian Mathur, ‘Head of the Jungle,’ his family-run
business is passionate about inspiring and educating visitors on all aspects of
India’s abundant animal kingdom. There are 15 different types of wildcats – the
highest diversity in the world; 48 tiger reserves; 17 different species of
primates; 4 types of bears; 1,250 species of birds; deer, bison, antelope and untold
numbers of Varun’s favourite life form -- bugs.
In listening to Varun, it is clear that his knowledge and
enthusiasm is genuine and translates into phenomenal experiences for travellers.
Guides are handpicked to match the interests of the visitor, be it historical,
entomological, artistic or culinary. Accommodations are in beautiful camps and
tree-top lodges.
As far as safety and reliability is concerned, JungleSutra
