Wow quite an adventurer you are. Someone had their fair share of fun but glad I am not there. I am pretty much scared od snakes. But Happy Journey in advance if you are ever going to again in near future.
For a night trail, your pictures are awesome but kind of scary considering all those insects! You are definitely brave!! I have never even heard of going on a night trail but now would love to find one!
It is so interesting that you got to see many unique species of animals and insects along the way. It isn’t a kind of experience that I would see myself trying, but it’s too unique to pass up. Your photography is superbly done too!
Kalinga Ecology centre in Agumbe sounds interesting due to possession of rare species of creatures. I loved the bi colored frogs and their dog like sounds. Fungus luminessence is so wonderful and magical. This centre is doing a good cause in preserving these rare species.
Woah! as it is rainforest trek seems challenging and you ventured out for a night time trek! But the excitement of spotting so many species seems so overwhelming. I would have done it just to see the Bioluminescent Fungi 😀
Oh my goodness! I’m not sure how excited I would be to go on a nighttime trek through the rainforest! I’m sure it was magical, but I don’t handle bugs and creepy things very well! The frogs looked pretty cool!
I grew up with a stream in our backyard and we had (what seemed) like millions of frogs in it. Your post reminded me of that time! What a cool opportunity to get to do a nighttime trek in the rainforest!
Agumbe sounds like a biologist’s paradise. I am not so sure I would like the night trail with so many critters about. Didn’t you feel afraid of stepping on something because it’s so dark? In the daytime, I would prefer to try my luck although I may miss some of these delightful creatures.
I know nothing about India, so have no idea whereabouts Agumbe is in your country! I’ll take your word this was a good experience as I have a fear of snakes! That said, your photos show the lovely nature and wildlife of the place.
Thank you. Agumbe lies in the South of India in Karnataka state. It’s a biodiversity hot spot and a haven for King Cobra. Even I was scared of snakes before this trip. But 3 days in Agumbe changed my perspective.

Yup. It was quite adventurous. But I didn’t find it scary. Learned a lot in this trip
Thrilling! Scary! Adventurous! What an experience!!!
I had not heard about Agumbe before. Thanks for sharing Abhinav 👍
