The Ganga River, Varanasi:

The holy city of Varanasi, also called Kashi or Benaras, is a blend of beautiful colors and cultures. The spiritual aura of this sacred place and how the cycle of life and death is believed to come to an end here are the most interesting aspects of Varanasi. Everything you see is worth capturing — from the tranquility of the Ganges River on your boat ride to the daily rituals (Ganga Aarti) performed at river ghats, from the architectural beauty of age-old temples to the simplicity of life in narrow lanes! And so, Varanasi is one of the best destinations for a photography tour in India.

Kerala’s Scenic beauty:

A trip to India is incomplete without visiting Kerala. It is the ultimate place to visit in India for photography! Every turn you take in this “God’s own country” greets you with postcard-perfect views of lush greenery, glorious backwaters, forts, palm-fringed beaches, ancient churches, and more. Don’t just keep staring in awe; take out the camera and click the magical sunset at Kovalam Beach, the backwaters of Alleppey, sprawling tea plantations in Munnar, evergreen trekking trail in Wayanad, wildlife in Periyar National Park, and the countryside charm of Kerala villages.

Zanskar mountain ridges in Ladakh:

The dramatic geography of Ladakh featuring rugged and barren mountains, snow-clad peaks, fields of white sand dunes at high-altitude, glaciers, sensational valleys and lakes is perfect for photography in India. If you are into wildlife photography, let Hemis National Park be your subject. Be camera-ready; you might spot indigenous animal species like Snow Leopard, Blue Sheep, Ibex, Golden Eagle, Himalayan Griffon Vulture, etc., anytime and some of them are experts at evading people.

Ancient ruins of the Vijayanagara Empire in Hampi:

This UNESCO World Heritage site situated on the banks of the Tungabhadra River in Karnataka is one of the best places in India for photography. Hampi, once the royal capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, is scattered with ancient Dravidian temples, monolithic sculptures and monuments that reflect the rich heritage of the Vijayanagara Empire. The fine craftsmanship of artists behind these creations is so marvelous that this historical city attracts a number of tourists every year. Other than the aesthetically aligned boulders, the most famous spots for photography include the stone chariot at the Vittala Temple complex, Virupaksha Temple, Lotus Palace, Archaeological Museum, and Pushkaranis (water tanks).
