Welcome to Colonel Hathi, rooted in values, honesty, and a deep passion for the wild. Specializing in immersive wildlife experiences across India and Nepal, we take you on unforgettable journeys to witness the majestic Tigers, elusive Snow Leopards, and the charming Red Panda in their natural habitats.
More than just a nod to the beloved character from *The Jungle Book*, Colonel Hathi represents the legacy of a retired colonel whose vision and dedication gave life to this endeavor. With his unwavering spirit as our foundation, we are committed to offering heartfelt and authentic adventures in the wilderness, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Join us, and let us show you the untamed beauty of the wild like never before.
We’ve spearheaded large-scale reforestation efforts, planting thousands of trees to restore habitats and combat deforestation. These green initiatives have not only revived degraded landscapes but have also become sanctuaries for countless species, ensuring their survival for generations to come.
We also believe that protecting nature goes hand in hand with empowering the people who live closest to it. That’s why we prioritize employing and partnering with local communities. From expert guides to hospitality staff, our team is made up of individuals whose roots run deep in these lands. By providing stable incomes, training opportunities, and leadership roles, we ensure that our work supports the well-being of local families while nurturing their unique connection to the environment.
Being eco-friendly isn’t just a practice for us; it’s a principle. Every aspect of our operations is designed to minimize our footprint—from choosing eco-conscious accommodations to using sustainable materials and limiting waste on expeditions. We’re proud to offer our guests a chance to experience the wilderness without compromising its integrity.
Just like Colonel Hathi led his patrol with a sense of purpose and care for the jungle, we lead our adventures with a mission to create meaningful change. For us, wildlife tourism is not just about the thrill of the experience but about fostering a deep connection to nature that inspires care and conservation.
When you journey with Colonel Hathi, you’re not just exploring the wild—you’re contributing to its future. Together, we’ll walk the paths of the jungle, share stories of awe and wonder, and leave behind a legacy of preservation and respect, ensuring that the magic of these landscapes endures for generations to come.
Our journey began with a small group of adventurers who found solace in the whispering forests and the call of distant wildlife. Traveling through the breathtaking jungles of India and Nepal, we were captivated by the raw, untamed spirit of these lands. Each encounter with a tiger in its natural habitat or a rhino wading through misty grasslands felt like stepping into a world as magical as Rudyard Kipling’s stories.
Yet, as we reveled in nature’s wonders, we realized something profound: the true beauty of the wild isn’t just in its spectacle but in its fragility and interconnectedness. That’s when the idea for Colonel Hathi was born—a company dedicated not only to creating once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experiences but also to fostering a deeper appreciation for the ecosystems we explore.
Just as Colonel Hathi led his jungle patrol with respect for the natural order, we strive to lead responsible expeditions that celebrate the wilderness while protecting its delicate balance. Each journey is carefully curated to immerse travelers in the awe-inspiring landscapes of Nepal and India.
Colonel Hathi isn’t just about tourism—it’s about connection, discovery, and the stories that live in the heart of the jungle. With every expedition, we aim to create lasting memories while inspiring a sense of stewardship for the natural world.
So, whether you’re setting out on your first safari or returning to the wilderness that feels like home, join us at Colonel Hathi. Together, we’ll write new stories of adventure, respect, and wonder—guided by the spirit of the legendary jungle hero who inspired it all.
