Nature Wanderers' invites participation for the "Wild Ladakh Photo Tour" and the "Mystic Mangroves - Sunderbans Tiger Reserve Workshop"

New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, July 20, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Nature Wanderers, India's leading wildlife photography organization, today, announced two of its latest wildlife outing in India that will let photography enthusiasts explore Indian wildlife behind the lens. The group will be kick starting its adventure with a 7 day photo tour of Ladakh from August 24 - 31, 2011. Following the Ladakh expedition will be a 4 day photography workshop in the largest mangrove forest in India - The Sunderbans Tiger Reserve, from September 15 - 18, 2011.

Leading both these excursions will be the husband and wife duo, Shivang Mehta and Kahini Ghosh, nature enthusiasts, conservationists and expert wildlife photographers. Commenting on the planned workshops, Shivang shares, "Our photography tours and workshops give participants the opportunity to not only explore the scenic beauty of the location, but also capture the myriad wildlife in these beautiful locations in an unforgettable way. The Ladakh photo tour focuses on landscape photography. In addition, we will also make people experience the wild side of Himalayas as we hunt for exotic high altitude Himalayan wildlife. The Sunderbans workshop too will revolve around landscape photography. Retreating monsoons and a stunning landscape makes the mangroves forest an apt landscape photography subject. In addition birding around the delta is always special."

These workshops and photo tours are being organized in association with wildlife and photography brands like Canon, SanDisk and National Geographic.

Talking about the workshops, Shivang shares, "Wildlife photography cannot be taught in closed rooms as field knowledge and training is the critical part of this genre of photography. Our tours are meant to provide enthusiasts with skills to improve their photography technique, and help them apply their learnings real time. Each day ends with a review session where our team interacts with participants and helps them identify the flaws in their technique." Nature Wanderers even provides free-of-cost demo Canon equipments (on first come first serve basis) to participants for field use.
