Frequently asked questions.
October to March is best — comfortable weather and the peak of the harrier roost, when thousands gather at dusk. The grassland is at its most alive in winter.
Evenings are prime time for the wolves and harriers, so we plan drives around the golden light.
Always private — your own jeep, driver and naturalist, so you can wait quietly on the grassland for the wolves and the roosting harriers rather than move on with a convoy.
Blackbuck in numbers, the Indian wolf, striped hyena and jungle cat, and exceptional birds of prey — Velavadar is one of the world's great harrier roosts. Sightings of the shyer mammals depend on the day.
Your Velavadar,planned properly.
No commitment — just a conversation about dates, group, and the kind of trip you want.
