These exotic birding adventures take us to many seldom visited and remote destinations in northeast India. We will have the rare opportunity to search for a host of Asia’s most tantalising and desirable species, including the stunning Temminck’s and Blyth’s Tragopans, Ward’s Trogon, exquisite Beautiful Nuthatch, endemic Bugun Liocichla, incredible Grandala, rare and endangered White-winged Duck, Swamp Francolin, dazzling Fire-tailed Myzornis, localised Chestnut-backed Laughingthrush and Collared Treepie – to name just some of the many exciting possibilities! These thrilling tours take us to some of Asia’s best birding sites, where few birders have ever ventured, and we will no doubt encounter many rarely seen species!
We’ll also be searching for a good number of mammals, primarily at Kaziranga National Park, one of the most spectacular wildernesses in all of Asia. This area gains its fame as one of the last places on earth where the prehistoric Indian Rhinoceros can be found, but no other site in Asia can match the vast herds of big mammals to be seen.
This tour is not available to nationals (and other nationals having their origin in these countries) of China, Pakistan or Afghanistan due to Restricted Area Permit requirements to enter Arunachal Pradesh and/or Assam.

DIFFICULT: This is a high-intensity “mega” tour designed for passionate listers and serious birders who enjoy a fast-paced schedule. Due to its demanding nature, it’s not recommended for avid photographers, inexperienced birders, or anyone with mobility or health limitations.
Challenging. This is a Mega-style tour designed for the avid lister & serious birder. Not suited for dedicated photographers, inexperienced birders, or anyone with mobility or serious health challenges.
Variable. Comfortable in larger towns, homestays in villages & tents at Eaglenest. This is a very remote part of India, hotel standards are not comparable to other similar sized towns even in India.
Challenging. Many skulking, shy species. Several are low density.

amazing scenery and wildlife sanctuaries, incredible forest
Can be decent. No dedicated hides. More challenging in forested environments.
The Andaman Islands were a first for RockJumper and a first for David Hoddinott. It was an incredible experience and also exciting to share the first of all new endemics with David .
We had a great tour. It was smaller even than usual, as two of the participants departed after two days due to illness. Glen, was as always his uber-keen birder, cheerful self. His magic pulled out quite a few surprising sightings.
As usual another fantastic journey masterfully organized and enabling us to discover places and birds in the best possible way. Supreme guide, all matters perfect, except the lack of heating in the bus. Chilly India, believe it or not !
This was a great trip. A terrific itinerary and we saw lots of birds and we saw tigers at Ranthambhore and Corbett. Glen and [the local leader] were excellent guides—great spotting skills, and they made sure everyone saw the bird. The logistics worked very well because Glen and [the local leader] were a great team.
Greg de Klerk and David Erterius were great - super knowledgeable and really kind. You can tell that they both care about birds and their guests. I hope I can go on a Rockjumper tour with them again.
