Social Commitment - The Wildlife Tour

Someone had once beautifully described the love for nature as, “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is a society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.” Little did we know that one day these lines would remind us of the lockdown situation we confronted just a while ago. On a positive note, not only the pandemic has given nature some time to breathe but also, it has made human beings socially responsible. We, the Indian Maharaja Tour are no different and leave no stone unturned to adapt to the new normal.

Our gratitude and feelings for nature and society were already beyond description. Also, as a leading photography tour operator in India, we were aware of and abiding by our social responsibilities. But now the novel Coronavirus has shown human beings a new aspect of life. The pandemic has made us realize that we should make others also aware of the same. Doing so will definitely help to benefit society and nature as a whole. So, come along with us and take a pledge to understand and implement your social responsibilities. Here’s what we do so that you can follow:

Bhola and family were known to us from the 3rd day of Lockdown. Bhola is a real and amazing dog and a very caring father.

Initially, it was hard to feed cows with Napier grass. They were used to feeding on fast food. So we had to add jaggery and wheat flour to the grass.

Meet Mr. Sheru (Tiger), he is a real warrior. He was lying under a parked vehicle. Pretty old (10 years+). In an accident, he lost his half lower Jaw. Still, he is not just surviving but used to follow our car for a few 100 meters.
For us, he is a real warrior.
