Green cap is a team of like minded people from different walks of life,
united in their passion for nature and wildlife photography.
Green cap is a dream by a group of nature enthusiasts and nature photographers based in God’s own country, Kerala. Green cap invites you to explore the nature and bring home memories of the wonderful world around you. We help you to be better travellers and better photographers. Watching a wild animal in its habitat is something different. Photographing and documenting it in its natural environment is an art.
At Green Cap we promote Wild life and nature photography as well as nature awareness. We undertake wildlife tours and holiday packages to National parks and wildlife reserves in India. We are shortly launching our plans for nature and wildlife trips in Africa, Russia, Srilanka and Bhutan. Travelling with our mentors who are well known for their experience and skills in nature photography is fun and learning. Their knowledge and support will help you become better shutterbugs. We take care of all your needs right from the moment you land at the nearest airport/ railway station till you go back. Green Cap provides you with the best available drivers and naturalists during our safaris. Though wildlife sightings depend a lot on your luck, our naturalists and drivers are the best in terms of tracking.
Our field workshops and master classes would help you refine your skills. Green cap gives a platform for its clients to exhibit the best of their photographs in their annual exhibition and they also run a chance to feature in one of our calendars and coffee table books. If you are not a photography freak but a nature lover, still we have custom made wildlife holiday packages just to fit to your needs. If yourself or your children are interested in photography or if you are a beginner, our basic training workshops and trips are designed in such a way that they form a perfect launching platform for you.

Dr. Krishnakumar, affectionately known as “KK” had his career focused just as an orthopedic surgeon till a few years ago. Observations from the intricacies of life and life-sustaining mechanism through X-rays and MRIs always excited him. Slowly observing life outside, some questions seeped into his veins and he found that the best way to answer the queries were through the camera and lens. The experiences with wildlife and wilderness were seemingly adventurous and entertaining at the same time. Destiny connected KK with one of the most talented photographers of the time, Mr Praveen Mohandas and thence the saga of capturing life through the lens began. Soon his clicks found a place in national and international photography exhibitions with several renowned names in the field.

Praveen P Mohandas as a mentor ‘distributed’ himself well and fairly. He spoke to each participant based on their level, made us do exercises with various settings, telling us when to shoot, from where etc. He took good care of everyone. Praveen is a very creative person overall. I have learnt more about ‘seeing’ or ‘imagining’ the photograph by learning from him.
Praveen as a mentor is fantastic. His depth of knowledge about the subject is admirable.
Loved his ideas n concepts.
It was fantastic experience for me for a first timer, both for safari n photography. There aren’t even any words to say what an incredible experience I had.
In All for Me A Satisfying Paisa Vasool Trip.
The major highlight of the trip was the Mentor Praveen who was really nice in helping us understand the finer aspects and was extremely patient to answer to our questions. He also made sure he kept reminding us/me about the mistakes I was making and I don’t think I will forget those tips in the future (good learning).
