This was my first visit to Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary in Thattekkad this season. But I was constantly in touch with the local guides there and was waiting for berries in the forest to get ripped, so that I can shoot my target, the Grey-headed Bulbul for which I was struggling for quite some …
It’s been almost 6 years since I fall in love with the jungles and wilderness; and it has been a fantastic quest till now. As a Nature Photographer, I have witnessed lots of precious moments during my journey and I could capture many of them; of course, there were lot of misses as well. These shots may not be …
Rufous-necked Hornbill, Red-headed Trogon, Long-tailed Broadbill, Sultan Tit, Green Magpie, Maroon Oriole… there were 8 targeted species in my mind when I started my journey to Latpanchar of West Bengal. The plan was to visit Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary and Singalila; but unfortunately I had to skip Singhalila because of the unexpected weather change. My flight from Bangalore got delayed …
I won’t miss any chance to go to Sholayar Forest since it is one of my favourite route and an awesome birding destination. I knew a place in Valparai (a part of Sholayar Forest range) where there was a Great Hornbill nesting and I has seen lot of pictures from the same spot. It was just 200 kms from …
Tadoba is a place which is close to my heart; it has given me the extreme disappointing as well as the extreme exiting moments. The same happened this time as well. After roaming around Western ghat couple of weeks for migratory winter visitors I have decided to visit Tadoba for a change. As always I came …

I was planning to visit Himalayas for a long time and almost decided to go to Ladakh; but the last moment I changed my plan and decided to visit Lahaul & Spiti in Himachal Pradesh, which wasn’t a popular destination like Ladakh. I was pretty much impressed with the landscape images which I have seen …
I have been fortunate to explore most of the well known birding spots of southern side of India and have a good collection of Western Ghat birds. This was the first time I went to northern side exclusively for Himalayan birds. The plan was to visit three places Sattal, Nainital and Mukteshwar. It was a 9 day trip …
It was a surprise when I visit Thattekkad this time. It is the nearest well known bird sanctuary in my home town; it is just 75 km of journey. I have visited Thattekkad lot of times and I used to roam around the visiting area. Of course there are lot of birds but photographing them …
I was thinking to visit Yala National Park for a long time since it has the highest concentration of leopards in the world. In my personal opinion Leopards are the most beautiful creature in cat family as Snow leopard & Jaguar are out of scope for me as of now 🙂 and I wanted to visit Yala …
