Snow Leopard Family This is one of my favorite snow leopard pictures from my tour at Kibber Sanctuary in Spiti Valley. Kibber is one of the best places to photograph snow leopards. The snow leopard family of mother and her cubs were swiftly making their way down the mountain ridge. They were in a hurry, and it seemed like the mother knew bad weather was coming. Sure enough, heavy snowfall arrived the next day. Capturing them was a challenge. Snow […]
Tiger Jump at Waterhole – Breathtaking Wildlife Action. This is tiger jump was shot some years ago in Ranthambore National Park. It was early morning while the sun had just risen. I still remember the morning. The place was just out of a jungle book scene with lush green jamun trees, spectacular rocky terrain and water holes. Ranthambore has some very beautiful scenery. The scenery would make any one jump out their place in amazement. On top of that we […]

Tiger at Waterhole in Tadoba. Updated the image corrected the color of water. Kept the old image for comparison.

After patiently waiting for some time, he arrived. The […]
