Being a working mom, I was exhausted and vacation was must. I was looking for a peaceful vacation. When I signed for the safari package, had zero knowledge and I didn't know them well. Just from Instagram. I had one request that I have knee injury so I requested Aravind that I can’t walk more and climb stairs. Considering my request Aravind planned so well that I need not to worry about anything. My first solo trip and with Aravind and fellow participants whom I met in this trip, awesome souls. I’m truely blessed to meet them on this journey. Our first safari came with surprise and we sighted a leopard and followed by a female tigress. Imagine my first ever safari and I was dumbstruck by this view. And second day sighted a huge male tiger. what a luck. In 4 safari we sighted dancing peacock, gaur, sambar deer, leopard, tigers, sloth bear, elephants and herd of deers It was a wow experience. Stay, safari everything planned to the top notch. Only who knows the best can provide the best and I’m thankful to Aravind for giving this wonderful experience. Shez too. It was a fun filled, knowledgeable journey. Looking for many more trips like this in coming years.Posted on Google![]()

Arvind organised very well and safe for gals . My daughters enjoyed the whole trip and saw couple of animals which will remain fresh always in their memory … Thank you Arvind for this memorable and safe trip 😊Posted on Google![]()

This was my first safari with Arvind (katrivia) Can easily say those 3 days (4 safaris)was the most memorable days for me- I not just had amazing sightings but also learnt so much about the forest, info about the leopards and tigers of bandipur and most importantly learnt how to use a camera All thanks to Arvind for carrying out this Bandipur trip so well & safe and can’t wait to go on a another safari with katrivia and it’s worth each and every penny🥰🐯♥️Posted on Google![]()

Went on a guided canon collab tour with Canon, led by Arvind. Highly urge all beginners and literally anyone who wants to explore the jungle to go for a safari or a bird walk. The layers of knowledge these guys at Katrivia hold is fantabulous. CheersPosted on Google![]()

My journey with Katrivia Expeditions completely redefined what a wildlife tour should be. From seamless logistics to raw wilderness encounters, every detail of the guided tour package was handled with supreme professionalism and care. The itinerary was exceptionally well-structured. Accommodations were comfortable, departures were punctual, and the entire flow of the expedition allowed us to spend maximum time in the forest without feeling rushed. It was clear from day one that their priority is genuine wilderness appreciation and high-yield wildlife viewing. I cannot wait to plan my next crossover tour with them 😍💓Posted on Google![]()

It was an amazing experince travelling with Katrivia expeditions. I had recently been to Kabini with them under the guidance of skipper Ullas. It was a fantastic tour all round. We got to witness multiple big cats in the jungle. It was amazing to see the tigers up close. We also got some really interesting insights on wildlife and the forests in general from our skipper. Overall it was a really good experience. I would highly recommend Katrivia for anyone who wants to explore the wild.Posted on Google![]()

I had a very good experience of visiting Bandipur for photography with Katrivia. The organization was perfect, we had great sightings and were given on field and off field inputs on how to get the best quality of images given the weather or light conditions. Overall enjoyed and learnt.Load more
