For the first time ever, we have opened up our Monthly Photo Contest to all trekkers. Until now, this was exclusive only to Indiahikes trekkers, and it has been a much-sought-after contest. Many trekkers have requested us to open it up to those who haven’t trekked with us as well.
Which is why we are inviting you to participate in the contest.
This month’s theme is Color Green.
Choose your 5 best landscape photos from any trek across the country (or outside) and share it with us!
Through the photo, we want to see what struck you the most on your trek – your favourite viewpoint, the forest section that made you weak in the knees, the mountain views that will remain with you for a long time, the campsite you dearly loved.
We have certain rules and regulations to enter the contest, so ensure you read them below.
Our Guest Jury Member will select three winners for this contest – One Grand Prize Winner, A runners Up and a Trekkers’ Choice Award.
Here are the kind of photos we are looking for:
Before sending in your photos, take a look at the kind of photos we are looking for:
This is a Meadows from Gidara Bugyal trek. It depicts a perfectly still photograph. Photo by Nitesh Kumar.
This is an example of a technically sound picture. Watch how perfectly the light falls on the lone soft cloud. The lighting also makes the glass glitter. The Vibrant Green color in the frame. This entire setting gives a dreamy touch to this photo of the Lidderwat campsite on the Tarsar Marsar trek. Photo by Shreenath
This one is a brilliant shot from Rupin pass trek. because it captures the striking contrast of dense forest. It gives you a good perspective of the landscape, Shades of green. Photo by Sandhya DC
