Dudhwa Wildlife Photography Tour

3rd – 6th April 2026

The Terai forests of Dudhwa National Park are among the most beautiful and underrated wildlife landscapes in India. Tall grasslands, dense sal forests, wetlands, and rich biodiversity make it a fascinating place for wildlife photography.

This tour is designed for photographers who want more than just a safari.

Over four days we will spend time in the field photographing wildlife, and also sit together to discuss photography techniques, composition, editing workflow, and storytelling through images.

The idea is simple: learn wildlife photography by being in the jungle.

To keep the experience personal and comfortable, we maintain a small group with only 3 photographers per gypsy.

Tour Highlights

• 6 Jungle Safaris inside Dudhwa National Park
• 3 photographers + 1 mentor per gypsy
• Photography guidance in the field
• Discussions on wildlife behaviour and field craft
• Post-processing and editing session
• Small group experience for better learning

Stay

Participants will stay at resort/hotel located close to the park.

The stay includes:

• Comfortable rooms
• All meals during the tour
• Easy access to safari gates

Who This Tour Is For

This experience is ideal for:

• Beginner wildlife photographers
• Photography enthusiasts who want field guidance
• Nature lovers interested in learning wildlife photography
• Photographers who want to improve composition and storytelling

You should ideally have:

• A DSLR or mirrorless camera
• A telephoto lens (recommended 200mm or above)

However, the focus is on learning and enjoying the process, not just equipment.
