India is a country with no equal and boasts a staggering range of habitats from deserts and forests to tropical, palm-lined shores and snow-capped peaks. Home to over a billion people India offers arguably the world’s richest cultural landscape but is also famous for its rich avifauna and iconic mammalian megafauna, foremost of which is the regal Bengal Tiger. This specially designed Photo Tour visits the core mammal, birding and cultural sites including the fabled Ranthambhore National Park, the exquisite wetlands of Keoladeo (Bharatpur) and incomparable Taj Mahal. We’ll also be searching for a good number of mammals and birds in Kaziranga National Park, one of the most spectacular wildernesses in all of Asia. This area gains its fame as one of the last places on earth where the prehistoric Indian Rhinoceros can be found, but no other site in Asia can match the vast herds of big mammals to be seen. Join us for an unforgettable photo tour experiencing India’s incredible birds, iconic mammals, dramatic scenery, and kaleidoscope of cultures!
