GreatEscapes presents a unique Herpetology Camp, in the heart of the Western Ghats with ace Herpetologist Gowrishankar.

We invite you to participate in this one-of-a-kind camp, where you’d spend 2 days in the thick rainforests of Agumbe which receive the second highest rainfall in India, and is home to the elusive and mysterious King Cobra, the longest venomous snake in the world!

As a participant, you will experience research and conservation efforts first-hand with Gowrishankar and learn about & see a variety of amphibians and endemic species found nowhere else on the planet. You will also get a chance to experience Radio Telemetry Tracking of King Cobras, which aid behavioral studies and ongoing conservation efforts.

The base camp for this camp is the Agumbe Rainforest Research Station (ARRS). The camp involves trekking through pristine forests, visiting awe-inspiring waterfalls and landscapes, education sessions and viewing documentaries filmed at Agumbe.

The total cost of the camp is Rs. 6750 (ex-Bangalore), which includes travel charges to Agumbe and back, food, accommodation and local transport.
