Stay: Pench Tree Lodge
Highlights: Private safaris offer exceptional chances to capture tigers, wild dogs, gaur, and birdlife
Fly to Nagpur and drive to Pench Tree Lodge, set within 40 rewilded acres in the quieter Karmajhiri zone. It’s a dream location for photographic immersion — fewer tourists, a diversity of habitats, and expert local trackers. You may begin your safari experience with a night drive on arrival, spotlighting nocturnal species under a starlit sky.
Stay: Trees N Tigers
Highlights: With private Jeeps and coaching, every outing becomes a masterclass in wildlife and anticipation
Venture deeper into Central India with a road transfer to Tadoba, home to some of the most reliable tiger sightings in the country. From early light filtering through teak groves to dramatic reflections at waterholes, Tadoba delivers high drama and contrast for photographers.
Stay: The Oberoi
Highlights: Option to visit Sevagram Ashram — a peaceful interlude and a moment to shift photographic gears
On the return drive to Nagpur airport, you’ll have the option to visit Sevagram Ashram. Capture the textures of spun khadi cloth, quiet domestic spaces, and the living legacy of Gandhi’s philosophy. Then fly to Delhi and check in to your hotel for the night.
Stay: The Trident
Highlights: Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal
Once the heart of the Mughal Empire, Agra is home to some of India’s finest architectural legacies, including Agra Fort — a vast riverside complex that once housed emperors and their courts. Choose to head to Mehtab Bagh for golden-hour views of the Taj Mahal from across the Yamuna River, perfectly aligned for sunset compositions and soft reflections.
Stay: Roseate House (day room)
Highlights: Sunrise photography session at the Taj Mahal
Begin the day with an optional sunrise shoot at the Taj Mahal as the monument wakes to the first light. After breakfast, drive back to Delhi. Upon arrival, you’ll be assisted with check-in at the Roseate House, Aerocity. Your room is booked until departure. When it’s time, you’ll be met by your &Beyond representative and chauffeured to the airport for your flight home.
From light metering at sunrise to tracking tiger movements through the brush, every drive is led by a professional Photo Expedition Leader — part naturalist, part mentor, and always in tune with your creative process.
Tigers might be the headline act, but visual inspiration runs through every step of this trip. Capture the geometry of Delhi’s Mughal architecture, the chaos of Chandni Chowk, or the glint of gold in a Sikh temple’s kitchen.
Departures are timed for February and March, when dry vegetation, mild weather, and thinning canopy make this one of the best windows for tiger sightings in Central India’s national parks. This is peak tiger sighting season.
Stay in less–visited zones such as Pench’s Karmajhiri area for quiet sightings and crisp dawn drives. Every park experience is on a private Jeep — no crowds, no rush, just uninterrupted moments behind the lens, expertly guided at all times.
This journey threads together intimate wilderness encounters with cultural icons. Stop at Gandhi’s Sevagram Ashram, explore Agra Fort, and photograph the Taj Mahal from both sides of the river at sunrise and sunset.
