The origins of Tears for Tigers sprang from one of the founders, Jack Baucher, while he spent time living in a hillside village in a remote district of Western Nepal. Jack witnessed not only the simplicity and frugality of life of the local Nepali people, but also the adverse impact of the continuing spread of humanity on indigenous wildlife throughout the hillsides and the river valleys. Working in the jungle and seeing, for the first time, tigers in the wild, served as the inspiration for establishing a wildlife safari based tour operating provider in the Indian sub continent with its primary focus on India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan.
Imagine yourself immersed in a uniquely relaxing and enjoyably stimulating holiday during which you experience the local culture of the Indian sub continent as well as the indigenous and endangered wildlife of this region.
Tears for Tigers will take you on an unforgettable wildlife experience to explore the hugely contrasting and different topographical regions of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Burma. You will have the possibility to encounter intriguing wild animals such as the Bengal Tiger, the Asian One-Horned Rhino, the Asian Elephant, the majestic Leopard and Snow Leopard, or the Golden Mahseer.
The contrast of the dense jungle of Nepal’s Terai, the magnificent mountain ranges of the Indian Himalayas, and the pristine sandy beaches of Sri Lanka make a wonderful backdrop to a guaranteed breath-taking and memorable travel and wildlife experience.
During your safari holiday you will be visiting the best hotels, travel lodges, and camps of South Asia. Additionally if you wish to book a bespoke overnight trekking excursion, river trip, motorbike tour, or participation in conservation projects across the Asian continent, we will be happy to assist you.
Although our exclusive wildlife safari experience will give you a good understanding of the issues facing the local people and wild animals of this exciting region, it is our hosts on the ground with their vast know-how and environmental knowledge who will teach you the threats faced to local wildlife and the ways to preserve their natural habitat.
With luck, you will also carry home an imprint in your memory of the heart-stopping moment of your first sighting in the wild of that iconic creature that is the soul to our company – the Tiger.
Over the years we have formed relationships with a vast array of operators across Asia. Although we are specialised in wildlife trips, we also offer personal engaging cultural tours, Himalayan spa retreats, river rafting trips, and more.
