Valmiki National Park
"The hidden tiger corridor of the Gandak River."
Terrain, Flora & Logistics
Tucked away in the West Champaran district, Valmiki is where the Himalayan foothills meet the Gangetic plains. It is a rugged, off-the-grid territory of boulders, rivers, and deep cane-breaks.
Flora & Fauna
Photography Strategy
Focus on the Gandak River. The pebbles and clear water provide a "mountain stream" aesthetic for tiger and gaur shots that you won't find in Central India.
