Wild Life Photography

I love wildlife photography and have been exploring forests since my childhood. Watching wild animals live in harmony is a passion of mine. In my free time, especially on weekends, I visit places like Nagarhole, Bandipur, Mudumalai, Parambikulam, Top Slip in South India, Jim Corbett, and Kaziranga National Park.

I enjoy staying in the forest, patiently waiting to spot tigers. My favorite animal is the elephant; I admire their social nature and strong family bonds. Dhole, the wild dogs, remind me of teamwork, while the tiger symbolizes individual contribution. The peacock represents beauty, and the Indian gaur signifies strength. I am captivated by the lush greenery of the forest, especially when it's rainy and foggy.
