Taj Mahal Extension

India’s Best Parks for Photographers
Explore three of India’s most famous tiger reserves in search of the true king of the jungle, India’s Bengal tiger, the largest of all the great cats.
We begin our adventure in Bandhavgarh National Park, which boasts the highest density of tigers in all of India. Bandhavgarh’s tigers are particularly photogenic, with green eyes and deep orange coats.
Kanha National Park, our second destination and the setting of Kipling’s Jungle Book, is a feast for the eyes with lush Sal tree and bamboo forests, grassy meadows and most importantly, a large tiger population.
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is one of India’s oldest and largest tiger reserves but only recently achieved rising star status as a tiger photography destination due to its thriving tiger population and photogenic environment.
Abundant Wildlife
These tropical forests are also home to an amazing variety and density of other species including elephants, leopards, sloth bears, gaurs (Indian bison), wild boars, Indian gazelle, langurs, Spotted and Sambar deer, as well as numerous exotic bird species.
Images From Past Trips
For Passionate Photographers
Every aspect of this trip is designed for passionate photographers by passionate photographers:
Our days start early and end late because that’s when the best light happens, and the animals are most active. Being among the first to enter the park each day is often rewarded with unique images.
Moving beyond snapshots requires patience and perseverance. We put in the time necessary to produce wall-worthy images.
We choose our lodges for their proximity to the action rather than their amenities. However, we’re confident you will be pleasantly surprised by our accommodations.
Sharpen Your Skills, Expand Your Vision
Harsh will always be close by to answer questions, provide tips on shooting techniques and offer insights about practical ways to expand your creative vision. Like most pursuits, good coaching and lots of practice are the keys to improving your wildlife photography game. You will get plenty of both on this photography-intensive adventure.
The Magnificent Taj
It’s impossible to do justice to this wonder of the ancient world in photographs. But arrive two days early and give it your best shot on a guided exploration for the Taj Mahal designed specifically for photographers.
