Indian Peafowl at Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park, set among the sandstone escarpments & forested ridges of the Vindhya hills in Madhya Pradesh's Umaria district, offers photographers plenty of chances to encounter the Indian Peafowl against this striking backdrop. The mix of open ground beneath the ridgelines & the ancient fort-topped hill provides varied settings for capturing the birds' vivid plumage in natural light. Travellers joining the Majestic Bengal Tigers of India holiday, typically timed for March, will find the peafowl a rewarding subject alongside the reserve's more famous predators. With the fort silhouette & rocky terrain as a frame, this is a fine opportunity to add a distinctive Indian species to your portfolio.
