The following trip reports are either my
own, or they are reproduced with the permission of the author. All
reports dealing with the Natural History of the Indian subcontinent
are appropriate for this site. If you would like to include your trip
reports here, e-mail them to me at yogeshw \at/
iitbombay.org. HTML or PDF formats are strongly preferred. Alternatively, provide me with a WWW URL, so I can
include a pointer here. Entries in italics are pointers to
documents at other sites over which I have no control. All other
entries are stored here. I'm not interested in mere species lists, but
rather in reports with a well written narrative.
