Photography Tour in Ranthambore National Park
Posted on Mon, 28 Apr 2014 04:26:34 by Tanmay Sharma
Marc Riboud, a famous French photographer put the art of photography in a simple way saying Taking
pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second. Well inarguably it is true; photograph is one
thing that just captures that one special moment for millions of years. I happened to ponder over wildlife
photography, which I believe is far more difficult than any photography genre. Getting that perfect frame
and light and that perfect look from the animal is s painstakingly difficult, however the joy of capturing the
best can be immeasurable. If we talk about India, which is undeniably the hotspot of biodiversity in the
world, it provides a great wildlife frame to capture. National Parks like Ranthambore offer some of the
splendid grounds for Indian photo tours that intrigues not only Indian photographers but also famed and
awarded foreign wildlife photographers.

With forest changing its color in every season and the ruins of the Ranthambore Fort offer a feasible
background for photography in Ranthambore National Park. The tinges and tones of colour of the vivid flora
and relics of the fort and undulated landscape add life to any picture taken in this national park.
Star Attractions to Capture:

As wildlife enthusiast and avid photographer, I understand that Tiger is the reason that most people would
want to visit any national park. With a good population of tigers in Ranthambore National park, a wildlife
photographer has better chances to capture the big cat in its natural habitat and various moods. Your odds at
Ranthambore are Machhli, who is a camera-friendly tigress in Ranthambore may come out to give you
couple of sassy poses or the young and wild Sultan might offer few good poses while you loiter in the park.
The beaded tigeress, Mala can also woo you with her definitive looks. Also, if you are planning to visit
Ranthambore National Park anytime soon, you might have a good chance to click pictures of T-19 and her
newborn cubs. Another great picture from the wild comes from mud-lashed crocodiles end, who likes to bask
in the sun and give some great poses to the camera. Amongst the birds, owls are the main attraction for
photographers; their large eyes and gorgeous flight are definitely worth the effort. Other birds in
Ranthambore keep the national park lively and give you some of the most colourful photos to take home.
Photo Tour Pacakages and Deals in Ranthambore National Park
From my experience, I would recommend to go on a pre-planned photography tour, which includes booking
hotels and safaris in advance. Often it is seen that getting a safari booking done at last minute can result in
chaos and ending up with none. So, it is ideal to book well in advance and it is even better to book the
photography tour package with an experienced travel operator, who can offer you great package in your
suitable budget and time schedule. Here is one of the best packages for
