Where Every Trail Has a Story
Kaadinakathegalu, meaning “Jungle Stories” in Kannada, is more than just a name—it’s our philosophy. Founded by Karthik and Sharanya, Certified Naturalists from (TATR ) and Wildlife Photographers and documentarians a couple united by their passion for wildlife, Kaadinakathegalu was created to redefine the way people experience nature. We believe the wilderness isn’t meant to be rushed or treated as another destination on a checklist. It deserves to be explored with patience, curiosity, and respect.
Our expeditions move beyond the traditional “package tour” experience, offering immersive wildlife journeys across India’s premier Tiger Reserves, National Parks, birding destinations, and the remarkable landscapes of Africa. Every adventure is thoughtfully designed to help travellers connect deeply with nature while creating unforgettable memories.
Our Philosophy
We believe the forest should never be rushed.
A tiger sighting may last only a few seconds, but the experience of listening to the forest, discovering hidden trails, observing wildlife behaviour, and appreciating nature’s smallest details creates memories that last a lifetime.
Every expedition is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and experience the wilderness with patience, curiosity, and respect.
More Than a Tour—A Community
Kaadinakathegalu is not just a wildlife travel company; it is a growing community of explorers, photographers, birdwatchers, conservation enthusiasts, and nature lovers. Whether you’re experiencing your very first safari or you’re an experienced wildlife photographer, you’ll always find a welcoming environment where learning and sharing go hand in hand.
Every expedition creates opportunities to exchange knowledge, build friendships, and discover the incredible stories hidden within the wilderness.

Tales from the Trail
Posted on Google Pooja PrasadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kaadinakathegalu truly loves up to the name!. I have visited tadoba, pench and kanha with them, and more recently bandavgarh national park. The experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the get go, the attention to detail, the personalised attention from the planning stage itself stands out. Both karthik and sharanya being naturalists themselves, have a great deal of respect and love for the forest and its dwellers, and the knowledge about the forest and its ways that they share throughout the trips is enriching and adds to the overall experience, making it so much more than just any other trip. But most importantly, they are both wonderful warm people, who have now become good friends, and i look forward to planning many more future trips with them. They take great efforts to ensure comfort, arranging great stays and organising the trip with utmost attention to detail, making it seem like a trip with friends and family. The conversations we share before during and after the trip about the forest and the wildlife, make the whole experience wholesome, kaadinakathegalu indeed!.Posted on Google Reshma RaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for more than just a wildlife tour, **Kaadina Kathegalu (Forest Stories)** is the team to travel with. My journey with them began in January 2026 with an unforgettable trip to Corbett and Pilibhit. That experience was so special that I didn't think twice before joining them again for Tadoba in April 2026. Every safari, every drive through the forest, and every moment spent with the group has been nothing short of magical. What truly sets Kaadina Kathegalu apart is that they don't just organize wildlife tours—they create unforgettable experiences and lifelong bonds. From the very beginning, their warmth, genuine care, and exceptional hospitality made everyone feel welcome. By the end of the trip, they were no longer just tour organizers; they had become family. Their passion for wildlife is reflected in everything they do. Whether it's planning the trip, ensuring everyone's comfort, sharing their knowledge, or simply making every moment enjoyable, they go above and beyond. Every safari is filled with excitement, every conversation creates beautiful memories, and every journey leaves you with stories that you'll cherish forever. One thing I've realized after every trip is that saying goodbye to this wonderful people is always the hardest part. Every time a trip comes to an end, I leave with a heavy heart, already counting the days until the next adventure with them. That's the kind of connection they build—not just with the forests they take you to, but with the people they travel with. The memories I've created with Kaadina Kathegalu team (Sharanya and Karthik) will stay with me for a lifetime. I genuinely treasure the friendships that have grown through these journeys. They are more than friends; they are family brought together by a shared love for wildlife and nature. A heartfelt thank you to the Kaadina Kathegalu team for making every trip so meaningful and memorable. I look forward to many more adventures with you. If you're looking for an authentic, professionally organized, and truly enriching wildlife experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Kaadina Kathegalu. Once you travel with them, you'll understand why it's so difficult to say goodbye and why you'll always be looking forward to the next trip. Thank you Sharanya and Karthik !!!Posted on Google mohankumar csTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Gir National Park in November with Kaadinakathegalu and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We had several good sightings and came back with wonderful stories and memories. A big thanks to Karthik and Sharanya for organizing such an amazing tour.Posted on Google Rajesh KuskurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went on a customised wildlife trip to Bandipur with them..what can I say..it was the best experience of my life where we got to see various wild animals in their naturall habitat.
