About The Tour

Embark on a 9 nights 10 days landscape and wildlife photography masterclass expedition to Ladakh, the mystical land where sun, sand, and snow coexist in breathtaking harmony. Curated by DCP Expeditions, this tour takes you through some of the most dramatic and photogenic terrains in India—Leh, Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, and the high-altitude grasslands of Hanle.

Ladakh’s stark yet stunning beauty, with its ancient monasteries, turquoise lakes, sand dunes, and snow-capped peaks, offers unparalleled opportunities for landscape photography. At the same time, the remote and high-altitude ecosystems host a variety of elusive Himalayan wildlife, making it a hotspot for wildlife photographers.

With expert mentors from DCP Expeditions guiding you throughout, you’ll master techniques for shooting in high-altitude conditions, capturing vast panoramic vistas, star-studded night skies, and the rare biodiversity that includes kiangs (Tibetan wild ass), marmots, red foxes, and high-altitude bird species like Tibetan Snowcock, Himalayan Griffon, and Black-necked Crane (seasonal).

This is more than just a tour—it’s a masterclass expedition designed for photographers who seek adventure, creative growth, and a deeper connection with one of the most otherworldly landscapes on Earth.

It was first time with DCP for an exposition. My son every year joins your expiditions . I am thankful to you and all mentors for not only accomodating my differently enabled son . I am really thankful for that . As far as Ladakh tour goes it was wisely managed and throughly curated by Mr Kane . He sincerely thought every technique to Makarand patiently . The skill was improved a lot because of his efforts. Thanks Dr Caesar for providing such platform for novice photographers.
