India boasts several breathtaking riverbank destinations that are perfect for photography, offering a mix of scenic beauty, spirituality, and cultural vibrancy. Each of these destinations offers a unique charm, making them must-visit spots for capturing the beauty of India’s riversides. Which one would you love to visit first?
Varanasi’s ghats along the Ganges are a photographer’s paradise, especially at sunrise and sunset. The golden glow of the river, the sight of devotees performing rituals, and the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat create a mystical and timeless atmosphere.
Rishikesh combines spirituality and adventure with its picturesque riverbanks. The iconic Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula bridges, temples reflecting in the water, and the backdrop of the Himalayas make this spot incredibly photogenic. The evening Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat adds to its charm.
Hampi on the banks of Tungabhadra River is one of the most picture-perfect destinations. The idyllic setting, the view of the setting sun, the surroundings, the rocky outcrops, and the humble coracle on the river, they all come together to give travellers a memorable holiday. Have you been to Hampi yet?
The contrast of the turquoise waters against the stark mountains, especially at the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar, creates a dramatic and photogenic landscape. Stakna Monastery is one of the most photogenic locations in Leh.
The Brahmaputra River in Guwahati provides a spectacular riverside experience. The iconic Umananda Island (world’s smallest river island), the sunset cruises, and the vast expanse of the river make for breathtaking photographs. Sitting on the banks of Brahmaputra, you can watch the world go by.
