Many people dream of doing wildlife photography! Some enthusiasts are always on the search for offbeat destinations that allow them to capture the beauty of nature and its inhabitants in its most natural and raw form.
Here are 5 best wildlife photography destinations across India
1. Nagarahole National Park, Karnataka
Nagarahole National Park in southern India, also known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park, is a popular tiger destination. The park, surrounded by the hills of the Western Ghats, is rich with fragrant sandalwood and teak trees, thick bamboo forests and numerous winding streams. A jeep safari is the finest way to capture big cats, while an easy drift in a coracle (a small round boat) along the Kabini River provides excellent viewing possibilities for aquatic birds, crocodiles and Indian elephants.
2. Valparai, Tamil Nadu
Located in Tamil Nadu’s Anamalai Hills, Valparai is a wildlife photographer’s hidden gem. The park is filled with beautiful tea estates and rainforests. This unique site allows photographers to take photographs of quiet animals such as the lion-tailed macaque and Nilgiri langur.
3. Kaziranga National Park, Assam
Kaziranga National Park, located on the Brahmaputra River’s floodplains, was established in 1905 as a forest preserve to bring the bigger one-horned rhinoceros back from extinction. Now that Kaziranga is protected, about two-thirds of the one-horned rhino population on Earth resides inside the park.
4. Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra
Another unique national park that is ideal for wildlife photographers is Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. Photographers can capture breathtaking shots of tigers, sloth bears, wild dogs, and many kinds of bird species.
5. Hemis National Park, Ladakh
Hemis National Park, nestled in Ladakh’s trans-Himalayan area, is a photographer’s and animal enthusiast’s paradise. The park is known for its population of elusive snow leopards, blue sheep, Tibetan wolves and a variety of bird species. Photographers have a fantastic chance to capture these magnificent animals in their natural habitat in this park.
