Heading to India: want to experience India's ecology

Hello!

I am from the US and traveling to India in January. I am a horticulturist, ecologist, and general native plant enthusiast. I am seeking educational opportunities to explore Indias native ecosystems. I am looking to spend time in nature learning about the local plants and animals.  I am happy to tag along with folks conducting native plant and animal surveys, taking a formal class, or connecting with wild foragers/ ayurvedic farmers. I am open to any and all suggestions and ecological experiences!
