India - Holi Festival


US$6750 - 6 PLACES LEFT

Join us on an unforgettable photo tour to experience India's vibrant festival of colours. Holi, celebrated in March, unfolds throughout the region, spanning nearly a week. Enjoy the festivities as thousands gather at temples, creating unique photo moments. Our new itinerary begins in Barsana, where we witness the extraordinary Lathmar Holi celebrations - local women defend their temple with bamboo sticks while men splash them with vibrant colours. Next, we explore Mathura, Krishna's birthplace on the sacred Yamuna River, immersing ourselves in mystical morning rituals as devotees perform sun salutations. From here we journey to Agra for sunrise photography at the magnificent Taj Mahal, before heading to Rajasthan's heritage town Karauli. We experience authentic Holi celebrations in Pachewar town within a 350-year-old fort, before our adventure ends in Bagru village, where we document skilled artisans creating textiles. This tour is very fast-paced at times and we recommend it for photographers of moderate and advanced levels who can cope without too much instruction "in the field". Read more here.
