Olympics
From the glaciated high mountains to the infinite ocean, from dense mossy rainforests to bouncing whitewater creeks, from meadows with endless vibrant wildflowers to the free-roaming wildlife, The Olympics has a blessing from the rain god, that makes this place one of the lushest green, prettiest places on the planet.

Three great parks… One incredible experience! Travel to the eastern foothills of the Himalayas, bordering Bhutan. Enjoy and photograph the only one horned rhinos roaming the plains, herds of wild buffaloes run and elephants swim in the lakes, while the Royal Bengal Tiger ruling the jungle, get lucky with the illusive clouded leopard. Eagles, vultures, hornbills and many many birds will make this safari experience your most memorable one!
Andaman
Deep blue sea and Floating islands... Splashing waves and thumping sounds... Pampering sand and indulged minds...Dense green Forests and Emerald Avians... Lost world and the ancient tribes .... Spreading hills and rising mists... Crowded mangroves and fallen trees... Golden daybreaks and subtle twilight... Trust me. Andaman is purely a nature photographer’s delight!
Spiti
Spiti river is a lifeline to the harsh himalayan landscape in the region. Small picturesque hamlets are placed along the edges of this river and its tributaries. They run through the deep glacial gorges. sky high mountains border every gorge and valley! The travel through spiti reminds me the mixed feeling of both intimidation and euphoria at the same time!
Ladakh
Ladakh, one of the highest lived region in the world is surrounded by and holding some of the tallest mountains. One of harshest and the driest and also coldest climates also is a home to beautiful lakes, valleys and centuries old culture of Buddhist monasteries. This is a as much the cultural splendor as much the landscape wonder!
Testimonials
“My teenage daughter recently completed a Basic Photography course with Lalit. He worked hard to understand our kid's interest and her current level of understanding of photography before teaching her concepts like, composition, photography techniques, and using a DSLR camera for capturing various kinds of images.
We found Lalit to be knowledgeable, easy to work with, and has a keen eye for detail. He has a genuine interest in teaching Photography and we find him to be an encouraging mentor post completion of the course as well.”

“I met Lalit about 10 years ago and we interacted over the scheduling of the Photography Workshops at the British Council, Pune Centre (then known as British Library).
Lalit is quite a genius when it comes to Travel Photography and I really appreciate how he keeps improving his Art by visiting a variety of places like Ladakh; Colorado or Meghalaya. This agility in learning proves how committed he is to his Art.
He is excellent at leading Workshops on all aspects of Photography like Fundamentals of Photography or photoshopping; etc. What I really admired about him is his flexible nature and comfort with all types of age groups! We always received excellent feedback from the participants & I remember how once we floated one Workshop but had to repeat it after 15 days as there were so many applicants.
We will really miss him now that he has relocated to Seattle. Wish You the Best Lalit!”

“Seeking this opportunity to reinstate my experiences with a very versatile colleague ,Mr. lalit Deshmukh. From my acquaintance with him in 2015 till today I have come across various facets of Lalit. Our first meeting was initiated through a workshop conducted by him at our institute titled Photography and Architecture.
His short interaction with the students soon crystallized in to a continuous mentoring activity to guide our students and to look in to the intangible aspects through the medium of camera .
Across the four years of his continued association with our institute he has very meticulously framed the lesson plan for Photography as an Allied elective for Architecture. His plan details out the basics of the use of the medium : the camera , selection of themes for photography, the basics of composition and all the inherent technical details involved within the subject.
Lalit has been very instrumental in bringing forth the idea of the story board through photography which helped the students to discover the various dimensions of human life ,society and environment. Some of the story boards imbibed the notions of human emotions, state of existence too.
Knowing him as a wonderful teacher and a good friend with his strong social bearing and commitment to social cause is truly admirable. Hoping and wishing him to continue the same throughout the coming years……..”

“I met Lalit Deshmukh through facebook. I saw a fine photo of Upper Tipsoo lake with the golds & reds bushes in the foreground & Mt Rainier in the setting sun in the background. It is a stunning photo. Then I went to Lalit's FB page & was so impressed with the remarkable simplicity of many photos, the softness he created with trees...I could continue with many more examples of his fine photography. I also viewed his exceptionally fine black & whites. I've been looking for someone who can help me advance my photography skills. I took a chance and asked if he does workshops..from there, we are now working together on Zoom with Photoshop techniques. I've had help in Photoshop from another professional instructor but no one has gone into the depth as Lalit. I find him to be the most skilled & knowledgeable instructor I have met. As a bonus, he is so very patient with a slow learner!”
