India Photo Tours

Off the beaten photography tour of India

Great locations within the destinations, interesting subjects and places, the best photographic support and a positive day to day atmosphere. Years of investment in local research, looking for the most interesting places to visit, struggling to create the proper contacts, handpicking hotels.  We are all passionate about photography, and want our clients to share that.

From a South India photo tour to Kerala for the night Fire Theyyam and Elephant Festivals with a fascinating exploration on our own deluxe house boats at the Kerala Backwaters. Or the Lath Mar Holi is a very special and unique "advanced" Holi festival, that takes place in a series of villages in India.

With time to enjoy our stay in contrast to the hustle and bustle of Shamans, boatmen, pilgrims, cows, tourists, barbers, and fake Sadhus. We will cross to the other side of the river where no one normally goes, to admire the city from another perspective and witness the daily coming and going of pilgrims.

India travel photography

India is hands down one of the most interesting places on the map for travel photographers, but sometimes also the most frustrating and challenging. No matter! Go into your tour with an open mind and trust in Harry and his team to help you rise to whatever challenges the country throws at you, because this is not a place you want to miss.

Imagine setting yourself up just on the bank of the river in Varanasi, just before dawn. Everything interesting is just about to happen, since the tourists are nowhere to be seen. You wait and the first devoted pilgrims come down the steps to bath, farm animals drift by in the streets, shaking off sleep, as a long boat slips silently through the blue hours of dawn sending sprays of scarlet fire in lines of petrol off the back of their sterns.

Or imagine walking into the camel fair for the first time and coming face to face with the teeming mass of people that have brought hordes of animals into the tiny city of Pushkar. You’ll walk lines of booths selling spices and textiles, camel and horse wear, food, endless drink as the desert bred cowboys race up and down the main thoroughfare just beside you showing off their horse mastery.

Wherever you go in India, it will be the photographic experience of a lifetime.
