WHY US

TESTIMONIALS
Biodiversity and heritage, both cultural and archaeological, are complex, intertwined subjects that shape the landscapes we cherish today. At BERC, we offer a unique experience that merges these distinct yet interconnected aspects, reflecting the pride and conservation commitment we hold as a society in our natural and cultural legacy.
On these tours, you’ll discover wildlife, explore sacred natural sites, visit archaeological monuments, experience diverse cultures, savor local cuisine, and encounter rock art along with the unique ecology within. Each experience is enriched with valuable lessons on conservation, connecting the past to the present and inviting you to be part of the effort to preserve both heritage and biodiversity.

Testimonials
I had seen people birding; they used to tell the names of the birds they saw, so it was difficult for me to comprehend and catch up with them. From BERC, I got a framework to observe the characteristics which I can use further to identify the birds on my own. I really liked this because I face problems in identifying birds. This became my starting point.

She went butterfly chasing today as well and returned with full confidence, explaining which butterflies were male and which were female. Butterflies have become her favourite thing outdoors. She also shared the story of the unicorn horn with everyone at home

I had a fantastic experience with The Wild Primer. The program was truly unique, focusing on observation and analytical skills while emphasizing active learning over passive consumption. It was impressive to see how the program brought together people of all ages and professions, creating an equal platform for everyone. This inclusive and engaging approach made the learning experience exceptionally enriching.

Being a work from home professional, I spend my days packed in a room the whole day. Haven’t seen what afternoons or evenings look like. So it was a really wholesome experience for me. It was much needed. Thank you so much.
