Location
Bandipur National Park, an 874-sq.-km forested reserve in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, is known for its small population of tigers. The park also harbors Indian elephants, spotted deer, gaurs (bison), antelopes and numerous other native species.Time
Bandipur cats are pretty shy, it takes a lot of patience and a larger amount of luck to spot a tiger. I was out in the forest in a safari jeep with an experienced driver, from around 5am, tracking footprints and hoping for a sighting. Finally succeeded at 10am.Lighting

For wildlife pictures - a truckload of patience, a very experienced guide to give you tips and tricks, the right equipment and a high level of attention to detail to spot footprints, smell, pathways, etc.
