An amazing opportunity for nature enthusiasts to go frogging with Dr K.V. Guraraja at Honey Valley in the Western Ghats. Dr Gururaja is not only a great teacher but very down to earth and friendly person to be around. We had a fantastic experience last year finding, identifying and learning about various species.

Acompanying us, will be Dr KV Gururaja, an amphibian scientist with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and author of - 'A Pictorial Guide to the Frogs and Toads of the Western Ghats.
