About the tour
This Photo Tour takes you to India’s iconic National Park in the heart of our country - "Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve" based near Orange City of Nagpur and offers a great atmosphere and ecosystem to stabilize the huge population of mammals and birds. The tranquility of the forests, waterfalls and also lush green grass make the place special and is one of the most sought-after Wildlife destinations in India and an absolute heaven for wildlife photographers and nature enthusiasts.
Wildlife in Tadoba during monsoon is also easy to sight due to a lot of the area getting submerged during rains, so the wildlife gathers on higher grounds, areas around the teak forest and often on the roads as they dry up faster - making it easier to spot and photograph them.
During this expedition, bird-lovers will never suffer for company. With over two hundred species of birds including peafowl, hornbills, woodpeckers, the Crested Hawk Eagle, wagtails, Incredibly colorful Indian Pittas, Orange-headed Thrushes and Asian paradise Flycatchers-the list is endless since monsoon is the breeding season for them and forest offers abundance of ground vegetation and insects that are just the perfect dinner and our best frames !!
Lead by an award-winning professional Photographer & Sony Brand Ambassador DHEERAJ PAUL along with Indian Photo Tours Mentoring team, who all will guide, inspire and mentor you right throughout the tour, whatever your level of skill and experience.
