It has options for possibly every kind of photography. You have water bodies with rich biodiversity, a wide variety of birds in its animal sanctuaries, great historical monuments that are famed worldwide for their craftsmanship and more. Further, all of this is incredibly accessible for someone traveling for the first time as the region has based its revenue, to a large extent, from travel. You\u2019ll easily find buses, taxis, and even air transport to major destinations. From the culture of the arid deserts to the rich palaces and resorts, you will be spoiled for choice and will definitely come back for more.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Goa\"><\/span><strong>2.

However, Goa has a rich colonial past from Portuguese settlements and influences which must be explored. These include the local architecture as well as the churches. The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Basilica of Bom Jesus, as well as temples like Shree Shantadurga temple and Sri Mahalakshmi temple, should be on your must-visit list.<\/p>\n<p>Goa\u2019s location in the Western Ghats gives it access to wildlife. You&#8217;ll be able to spot the leopards, deer, bison, and more. Many are hesitant to even shoot on the beach due to the massive crowds. However, there are still peaceful destinations that can be explored.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mumbai\"><\/span><strong>3.

Mumbai offers an interesting urban taste to photographers keen to explore a developed and metropolitan aspect of India. You\u2019ll get great night shots of the city\u2019s traffic, nightclubs and pubs. In the day, the streets are full of hawkers selling everything from cigarettes to trinkets for tourists. And it\u2019s highly possible you\u2019ll spot a Bollywood actor on his way to another shoot in the car next to yours if you\u2019re stuck in a traffic jam.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ladakh\"><\/span><strong>4.

Landscapes, even not composed well, look great! The wide expanses of plains, contrasted by mountains in the background look beautiful. Ladakh is also an interesting choice for photographers as the landscape you shoot changes colour quite often. Local native life is also incredibly fascinating to click. Small temples that you will encounter on your journeys are also an interesting idea to photograph. \u00a0The summer is when the local ecology really wakes up &#8211; you\u2019ll get some interesting nature photos then!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hampi\"><\/span><strong>5.

With rocks, boulders and bits of old monuments strewn about everywhere, Hampi is a charmer. You should, however, keep in mind that Hampi can look spooky and you will find it hard to get fast food there. The ruins and the Hampi Bazaar should whet your camera\u2019s appetite, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographers from around the world flock to India to explore its beautiful culture and try to capture it through pictures.
