Pune Grassland Safari

Experience a unique wildlife escape into the Pune grasslands—one of Maharashtra’s most underrated and fragile ecosystems.  Explore open grasslands and scrub habitats that support incredible biodiversity, including Indian wolves, Bengal foxes, Stripes Hyenas, black-winged kites, harriers, larks, and migratory grassland birds. The experience includes guided birding sessions, grassland walks, and deep insights into why these habitats are as important as forests—and far more threatened.

Join us for an eye-opening journey into Pune’s lesser-known wild spaces and witness life thriving in open landscapes
