Wanna
see wildlife? Don't have much time? Well, we've got
the trip for you - perfect for a long weekend, or as
an extension to any trips you already have planned to
India.
Our power wildlife photography trip
takes you to either Corbett NP, or Ranthambhore NP -
two beautiful wildlife sanctuaries with excellent game
populations.
TRIP OBJECTIVES AND DATES
Wildlife photography, wildlife photography
and more wildlife photography. Trips can be run at any
time of the year, except the monsoons (July - September).
PRE-REQUISITES
None. An interest in wildlife and
a willingness to wait (or search) for the right shot
go a long way towards getting that spectacular shot.
RECOMMENDED GEAR
For mammals, a fast lens reaching
up to 300mm would be ideal. Also, a zoom is very handy
in Indian conditions, where subject proximity can vary
(thus necessitating a wide variety of focal lengths)
and the dust factor makes it preferable to minimize
lens swapping. For birding, you'll need your longest
lens - just like anywhere else. Vandit shoots with a
100-400 IS as his primarily mammal lens, and a 500/4
as his bird lens. Aditya shoots mammals with a 120-300/2.8
A tripod is not needed - we'll be
on a jeep for most of our game viewing, and a monopod
or beanbag is a better alternative. If you need a tripod
for occasional use, you can borrow one of ours (although
you may want to bring your ballhead). We also stock
beanbags for use during the trip.
ITINERARY
Day 1:
Early AM departure from New Delhi towards park of choice.
Depending on time of arrival, we will do an afternoon
game drive in the park. (L, D)
Day 2:
2 game drives in the park (B, L, D)
Day 3:
2 game drives in the park (B, L, D)
Day 4:
Morning game drive in the park, followed by departure
back for Delhi (B, L)
For trips to Ranthambhore, a shorter
3-day variation is also possible. Due to the longer
travelling time, a 3-day trip is not recommended for
Corbett.
GENERAL NOTES
This is a wildlife photography trip,
and we assume that you are happy to rise early and stay
in the park late in order to get good shots. Unless
you tell us otherwise, maximizing your time in the park
is our primary goal.
Also, do note that in a shorter trip,
it is harder to provide assurances that you'll see a
tiger. We make every effort to assure you of a sighting,
ranging from using only the best drivers/guides, ensuring
we get the most productive game viewing routes and so
on.
