Absolute local - Konkan trip


Konkan trip was arranged in the month of May 2018. Konkan beaches are undoubtably beautiful. This is the season of mangoes, jackfruits, cashews and many more wild fruits. We relished all of them.

Sikkim Report

Sikkim is one of Beautiful states of India. OikoEssence conducted a nature camp during April, 2018. We are glad to share the sightings of the same.

















Flora 
Includes lots of Rhodendrone spp. such as Rhododendrone arboreum, Rhododendron capanulatumcrolarias, bamboos etc. April is the time when rhododendrones bloom in plenty and it is an amazing experience to observe gloom in such a large quantity.
