We have chosen accommodation carefully to allow us both access to some exciting locations and as peaceful luxurious retreats from the hustle and bustle of daily life in India. Tamil Nadu and the high Western Ghats of Kerala are culturally fascinating and singularly beautiful areas offering abundant opportunities for landscape, people, street and architectural photography. Accompanying our small group throughout is Martin Sammtleben our senior photographic tutor. He will be assisted by Geraldine Westrupp; both know the area intimately and they will be introducing you to some locations are little known to the wider photographic community. Together they will ensure that you are in the right place at the right time to take some superb and unusual images. Although this is primarily a photographic trip, non-photographer spouses/partners will be welcome and will find this to be an interesting and culturally exciting trip. We have chosen accommodation carefully to allow us both access to some exciting locations and as peaceful luxurious retreats from the hustle and bustle of daily life in India. We will no doubt return home with some truly striking adventure travel images and some marvellous memories.
