Sambar Deer at Bandhavgarh National Park

Sambar deer are a rewarding subject in Bandhavgarh National Park, where the sandstone escarpments & forested ridges of the Vindhya hills provide a striking backdrop for images of these large deer against the reserve's dramatic terrain. Photographers joining the Majestic Bengal Tigers of India holiday in March will find the central hill & its ancient fort lending a sense of scale & atmosphere to sightings. The rugged topography of Umaria district, Madhya Pradesh, offers varied vantage points for capturing Sambar amid the forested slopes. It's a fine opportunity to document this species within one of central India's most storied landscapes.
