Forts and walls that go on as far as the ridges of the hills that contain them, red sun setting over orange sand dunes, slippery grains of sand slipping through the feet, starry nights in the middle of the desert whose silence is occasionally interrupted by the camel’s bells, orange turbaned men playing flute and traditional ravan hatha, making the little dolls dance to the tune of soulful music, children dancing to the voices of old men wearing colourful clothes, women in red robes and long skirts walking gracefully with a pot of water leaving behind the sonorous sounds of anklets, temples painted with playful acts of young Lord Krishna and palaces where opulence can’t be bettered. That’s just a few glimpses of what Rajasthan has to offer us, and what we are going to see and photograph. Our photography tour of Rajasthan will leave you lingering for more, and the pictures we bring back will ensure that the memories will never fade.

Pink hues of flamingos, flocks of cranes taking off, mighty eagles waiting for the meal of the day, pelicans with their large beaks swimming gracefully with the much smaller ducks, harriers flying gracefully over the grasslands, herds of Wild Asses running in the vast desert, and foxes scuttling away with food for their playful kids.

Come November, temperatures in the hot plains of Northern Karnataka begin to dip and the faraway winter sun casts an orange glow on the boulders and heritage sites in the ancient city of Hampi. Darter Photography, our venture in photography centric journeys, takes you to the incredibly photogenic and versatile expanse of this city by the river that was once the capital of the most powerful rulers of South India.
Many Worlds of Hampi – An Outdoor Photography Tour
November 5, 6 and 7
Few places can offer a photographer such an amazing choice of subjects, irrespective of his/her area of interest and degree of expertize. In Hampi, a landscape photographer is greeted with, what a guidebook calls “arguably one of the most beautiful sunrises in the world” and perhaps the most colourful sunset one can ever see in this part of the world. The travel photographer, inclined towards heritage sites and street life, will have enough work for his camera that can keep him/her busy for weeks together. A wildlife and nature photographer will be equally amused, with a range of bird life unusually rich and diverse for a region this arid, and a wildlife sanctuary teeming with sloth bears.
