Hokkaido is undoubtedly David’s star location of our nature photography trips to various parts of Asia, but other parts of the continent are firm favourites of Pui Hang, & feature heavily in our wildlife photography tour portfolio, from the tigers & leopards in India, notably in the reserves of Bandhavgarh, Kanha & Bera; to the rich & varied wildlife of Sri Lanka.
Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is home to a vast number of species, our
photography holiday enables you to spend a week in this amazing location, seeking photographic opportunities with almost 380 species, these species fly from distant places like Siberia & Central Asia specifically in winter. Migratory birds at Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary include several species of Cranes,
Pelicans, Geese, Ducks, Eagles, Hawks, Shanks, Stints, Wagtails, Warblers, Wheatears, Flycatchers, Buntings, Larks & Pipits.
The
Bengal Tiger is a feature of both our photography holidays to
Kanha National Park & Bandhavgarh
Tiger Reserve, but the wildlife in these natural parks is so much wider than the Bengal Tiger, often including deer, birds, antelope & much more besides.
When you think of India, you instantly think of the tiger, but like
Bharatpur, the
Little Rann of Kutch is a delight for those wishing to capture images of birds & other lesser-known species, including the
wild ass &
desert fox. Our photography holiday to Bharatpur also includes a pair of days at
Blackbuck National Park; Blackbuck National Park also known as
Velavadar National Park a beautiful sanctuary created for saving the Blackbucks.
Japan, what haven’t we said before about
Hokkaido that can’t be said again – Japan & particularly Hokkaido is just amazing for photography in the winter, perfect for you if you want to capture images of the
Steller’s & White-tailed Sea Eagles on snow,
Red-crowned Cranes dancing together,
Ural Owls huddled together in trees or the
Whooper Swans on a frozen lake.
No photography holiday to
Japan in winter is complete without a visit to the
Snow Monkeys – although we would be first to admit that you don’t need to spend too many days there, it would be crazy to miss out on the
Japanese Macaques & their thermal pool.
Finally,
Sri Lanka, this is a photography holiday that features so many species, our
Sri Lankan Wildlife Photography Holiday includes boat trips to search for the elusive Indo-Pacific Humpbacked Dolphin & the massive super pods of
Spinner Dolphins, Sperm Whales & possibly Orcas, Short Finned Pilot Whales, Risso Dolphins, Brydes
Whale & other marine species.
Wilpattu for
Leopard & Sloth Bear,
Yala for the leopards & other jungle wildlife. River cruises to see the Saltwater Crocodiles, nighttime spotting of sea turtles & the opportunity to photograph blue whales from the air.
