From the snow-capped Himalayas to sun-kissed beaches, India offers an endless canvas for travel photographers—whether you're shooting with a DSLR or your smartphone. Every corner holds a picture-perfect frame waiting to be captured. At Aaditya Global Tourism, we help you explore destinations that are not just worth visiting, but worth remembering through your lens.

Here are some of the best scenic spots in India that photographers—amateur or professional—will fall in love with.

1. Pangong Lake, Ladakh – Mirror of the Mountains

Located at an altitude of 13,800 feet, Pangong Tso is a surreal saltwater lake that changes color with the sky. The reflections of barren brown mountains on its ever-changing blue waters make it a dream for landscape photographers.

Best Time: Sunrise and sunset
Travel Tip: Stay overnight for stargazing and early morning shots with soft light.

2. Puri Sea Beach, Odisha – Drama at Dawn

The golden sands of Puri Beach, dotted with fishing boats and flocks of seagulls, come alive during sunrise. Add in the cultural backdrop of the Jagannath Temple, and you get the perfect blend of nature and heritage.

Best Time: Early morning hours
Travel Tip: Capture the fishermen returning with their catch or sand artists at work.

3. North Sikkim – Mystical Mountains & Monasteries

Yumthang Valley, Lachung, and Gurudongmar Lake offer icy blue skies, snow-laden peaks, and prayer flags fluttering in the wind. The mystical mist and rich colors are made for moody, ethereal frames.

Best Time: March–June (for rhododendrons), October–December (for snow)
Travel Tip: Use a polarizing filter to cut the glare of snow and bring out natural colors.

4. Sundarbans, West Bengal – Wilderness in Monochrome

Sundarbans' mangrove labyrinth offers a haunting beauty. Creeks, crocodiles, and morning mist combine to create a cinematic setting for wildlife and landscape shots.

Best Time: November–February
Travel Tip: Use a telephoto lens for birds and tigers, and capture reflections during boat rides.

5. Andaman Islands – Underwater and Overhead

From the white sands of Radhanagar Beach to the coral reefs of Havelock, Andaman offers brilliant shades of blue and green. For photographers, it’s paradise both above and below water.

Best Time: October–May
Travel Tip: Try underwater or drone photography for unique perspectives.

6. Meghalaya – Living Bridges & Waterfall Trails

From the Double-Decker Living Root Bridge in Nongriat to the cascading Nohkalikai Falls, Meghalaya offers vibrant greens, dramatic skies, and rural life that’s incredibly photogenic.

Best Time: Post-monsoon (September–November)
Travel Tip: Use wide-angle lenses for waterfalls and capture misty landscapes at dawn.
