Kanha’s winter landscapes, golden light and thinned undergrowth highlight tigers and barasingha in open meadows. Clean backgrounds, long views and soft shadows help photographers capture detailed wildlife portraits.
Bandhavgarh’s winter clarity improves tiger sightings along rocky ridges and grasslands. Reduced foliage, soft sunlight and frequent big-cat movement create dependable conditions for crisp, close-range wildlife images.
