Kerala & Rishikesh
India is one of the most diverse places you could visit. Most of my travels had been to cold places so I was unsure what to expect in India, but once you've been you can't help but fall in love the place, it's a land of vibrant colours, unique wildlife and some incredible people. I've been lucky enough to spend time in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India and the Western Ghats in Southern India but I've still not even scratched the surface of this vast country. Below are some of the my favourite images so far, some of which are available to order as prints or licence as stock images.
