Who is Pikolins?
I’m Cholin Joy, a passionate wildlife lover, videographer from Kerala, India dedicated to sharing the beauty of nature with the world. My journey into the wilderness began 10 years back, and since then, I’ve devoted my life to exploring, documenting the incredible creatures that inhabit our planet. I launched my YouTube channel, Pikolins Vibe & Pikwoods, to reach a wider audience and facilitate a greater understanding the importance of nature and wildlife.
Join me on this adventure as we explore breathtaking landscapes, meet fascinating animals, and learn about them bit close.
My main channel “Pikolins Vibe” is in my mother tongue Malayalam and I’m uploading the English version of same videos in “Pikwoods” channel.

As a photographer, I love to see my images in print. It means so much to me that many of you choose to hang my arts in your homes or offices.
For that reason, all the images in the galleries are available as highquality prints. Below, you’ll find more details to choose your favourite photo and order process.
Wildlife Photo Album
As a wildlife photographer, I’ve always dreamed of bringing all my captured moments together in one album. This is not just a collection of photographs, it’s a carefully curated book that includes detailed descriptions of animals and birds featured.

I travelled to Mudumalai tiger reserve and Kaziranga national park with Pikolins and DotGreen in May 2024 and January 2025 respectively. The packages involved several number of wildlife safaris in the core zones , good accommodation and enriching discussions on wildlife photography. Travelling with Pikolins and DotGreen helped me appreciate wildlife, different from an ordinary picnic package. I will strongly recommend their travel packages to anyone interested in meaningful exploration of nature.
