Date : 27th Feb to 3rd March, 2023 ( 5 Days and 4 Nights)
PHOTOGRAPHIC TOUR WITH TANIA CHATTERJEE
Overview
Holi, the festival of colours, is celebrated worldwide, but the biggest and most colourful gathering occurs in Mathura and Vrindavan of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is the only destination that witnesses an extraordinary vibrancy of culture & colours during this festive season.
Travel Photography is all about getting the real essence of the place, i.e., knowing the local culture, interacting with local people, watching their celebrations, and experiencing their way of life. During our photography tour, we will focus on capturing this colourful event’s spirit and local people’s mood. We will guide you to cover these events and explore the streets of Vrindavan.
