Earth Calling Expeditions

What Earth Calling Expeditions does

Earth Calling Expeditions is a Delhi-based, founder-owned tour operator founded in May 2014 by Radha, a biologist, photographer, and educationist. The company runs four interconnected programs: personalized wildlife safaris across India's national parks (Bandhavgarh, Ranthambore, Corbett, Tadoba); the Mowgli Camp educational program for K-12 students that blends conservation, cultural exchange, and community service; community upliftment initiatives around Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and Great Himalayan National Park; and the Tiger Trophy cricket tournament, a community event tied to tiger conservation messaging. Geographic operations span Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, and Himachal Pradesh.

The business is service-led with no proprietary technology platform disclosed; the website (earthcallingexpeditions.com, developed by SINCWEB INFOTECH) functions as an information and inquiry channel rather than an integrated booking system. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via phone and email, supplemented by school partnerships for Mowgli Camp (DPS R.K. Puram, ML Khanna DAV, DAV Sahibabad, Basava International) and earned media (Femina, Times Now). Cumulative outputs disclosed are 100+ wildlife guests and 500+ students inspired over 10+ years of operation.

The revenue model is one-time fees per program participation, with pricing not publicly disclosed and customers directed to contact the company directly. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no institutional investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or M&A activity disclosed, and no AI/ML capabilities or integrations reported.

Broad incumbents

• &Beyond: Global luxury safari and conservation-led travel operator with properties across Africa and Latin America. Larger, broader portfolio player in high-end experiential wildlife travel that competes for the same premium experiential-travel customer, though focused outside India.
• Wilderness Safaris: Established African luxury safari operator with conservation focus and high-end guided wildlife itineraries. Comparable experiential ethos and high-yield wildlife-travel customer, though not present in India.
• Natural Habitat Adventures: US-based adventure travel operator specializing in naturalist-led wildlife and nature expeditions globally. Operates in a similar small-group, expert-guided wildlife-trip category and overlaps in customer persona, but serves a primarily North American client base.
• Cox & Kings: Large heritage Indian travel company offering wildlife and tiger safari packages as part of a broader domestic and international portfolio. Provides competitive safari offerings but as part of a much wider generalist travel business rather than a wildlife specialist.

Direct peers

• Jim's Jungle Retreat: Wildlife lodge operator based in Corbett National Park offering naturalist-led safari experiences in an Indian tiger reserve. Comparable niche and customer base, with an established destination presence that competes for the same Corbett bookings.
• Pugdundee Safaris: Indian wildlife safari lodge operator with multiple properties across central Indian tiger reserves (Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Tadoba). Most directly comparable to Earth Calling given its shared focus on small-group naturalist-led safaris in the same parks.
• Singinawa Jungle Camp: Wildlife lodge operator in Kanha Tiger Reserve offering naturalist-led safaris. Comparable offering in a marquee central Indian tiger reserve that targets the same wildlife-photographer and enthusiast segment as Earth Calling.
• SUJAN Luxury (Jawai, Serai, Devi): Luxury wildlife camp operator in Rajasthan and beyond, focused on small-group, high-touch experiences in Indian tiger and leopard habitats. Comparable premium positioning and experiential travel ethos targeting affluent domestic and inbound travelers.
• Shergarh Tadoba: Boutique wildlife lodge operating in Tadoba — one of Earth Calling's listed destinations — offering naturalist-guided safaris in central India. Directly competes for the same Tadoba wildlife-photographer and enthusiast customer.

Regional players

• Tiger Tops: Pioneering jungle lodge and safari operator historically associated with Nepal's Chitwan and Indian parks, with a strong naturalist and conservation heritage. Comparable product philosophy and customer type, though primarily Nepal-focused.
