Hello,
Here is the March edition of India Travel Blog Newsletter. Besides listing the stories published on the blog for last two months, I am also excited to announce new photography tours and workshops coming up in the next few months.
Photography Tours and Workshops
Photography Tour of Ladakh. Come July, I we will be leading a photography tour to Ladakh – the land of mountains, high passes and an ancient Buddhist Culture. Be ready to be awed as you wander in the mountains photographing stark yet beautiful landscapes of Ladakh. Travel with photography experts and capture the beauty of super-blue lakes, see the views from the highest motorable road in the world, watch wildlife that can be seen nowhere else in the country and witness rituals of a culture that has kept its traditions alive for almost a millennium.

Photography Workshop in Bangalore. If you are in Bangalore area and keen to work on your photography skills, consider signing up for our photography workshop in the last weekend of March. his workshop introduces you to the technical, artistic and social aspects of photography. You will learn about the concepts of photography, what the different modes of a camera mean, how to compose a photograph so that it catches the eye, how to post-process it to reflect reality or make it artistic, and, in an increasingly connected world, how to share it online.

Winter in Ladakh. I spent three weeks in Ladakh in the months of January-February. With clear blue skies and carpets of snow on the mountains, the landscapes of Ladakh look much different from summer months. I was also fortunate to see a Snow Leopard chasing a group of Ibex during the last days of my travels in Ladakh. Also see a photo-essay on Thiksey Monastery. Keep a watch for more stories and images coming up in the next few weeks from Ladakh on the blog.
