Apex Predator
Practice and grow your wildlife photography skills as we explore 3 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.
India’s Best Parks for Photographers
We begin our adventure in India’s most renowned tiger reserve, Bandhavgarh National Park, nestled among the tropical forests, woodlands, rocky hills and flat grasslands of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges.
Kanha National Park, our second destination and the setting of Kipling’s Jungle Book, is a feast for the eyes with lush bamboo forests, open 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.
Other Wildlife
Capturing wall-worthy images of tigers in the wild is the focus of our trip but these tropical forests are home to an amazing variety and density of other species including elephants, leopards, sloth bears, gaurs (Indian bison), wild boars, Indian gazelle, common langurs, rhesus monkeys, as well as innumerable exotic bird species.
READY TO JOIN THE ADVENTURE?
Photography Focused Adventure
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. We are among the very first to enter the park each day in the hopes we’ll be rewarded with unique images.
Moving beyond snapshots requires patience and perseverance. We put in the time necessary to produce portfolio-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
Ken Lee and Harsh Agarwal, your workshop leaders/instructors, 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. Need a little help with camera settings and lens selection? Maybe some advice on composition and ways to move beyond the obvious animal portrait? Or perhaps a few tips on post-processing techniques or workflow might make the biggest difference?
