TVC is a labour of love. With more than 80 species of birds and a wide variety of butterflies, insects, and plants, TVC is a biodiversity hotspot. The 5th edition of 3Bs&1H@TVC — explore the richness and abundance of life around you with the keen eyes of Deepa Mohan, avid birder, traveller, naturalist, and visual storyteller.
Experience Linger’s hospitality, guided tours, and a hike to the top of the hill in the morning. Watch and identify birds, butterflies, insects, herps (if you’re lucky), and plants. Stay at the farm overnight and share stories around a campfire.
The event started Saturday afternoon around 3pm, with everyone camping at the farm overnight and heading back Sunday around noon.
