India
The land that stirred Rudyard Kipling’s imagination and gave life to The Jungle Book is a tapestry of wild beauty, where Himalayan peaks, arid deserts, lush forests, tranquil wetlands, and sweeping coastlines come together. This rich mosaic of habitats shelters more than 1,350 species of birds, making it a paradise for ornithologists and nature lovers alike. At the heart of its wild legends roams Shere Khan—the majestic Bengal tiger—whose presence continues to captivate the lens and dreams of wildlife photographers around the world.
