YPS Photo Tour To Keoladeo  National Park, Bharatpur Feb 2023

YPS has planned one of it’s kind Wildlife Phototour, exclusively for YPS Members, to one of the most beautiful and serene forests in India – Bharatpur.

This is exclusively for YP SMembers

The Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, which hosts a wide variety of migratory birds during the winters. Bharatpur has a wide range of landscape which is nothing short of magical. Changing light conditions over the course of the day adds to the mystique while giving you dramatic backgrounds to your images. 

Key species are Sarus Crane, Bar-Headed Goose, Pelicans, Gadwall, Shoveler, Frebes, Ducks, Northern Pintails, Marsh Harriers, Kingfishers, Balack Necked Storks, the list continues……..and not to forget the dramatic sunset.

Unlike tiger sanctuaries, Bharatpur offers a wide range of photography opportunities. With a full day starting from 6.30am at your disposal, you get a lot of time to shoot and also to interact with your Mentor for guidance on how to approach birds, experiment with backgrounds, play of light etc.
