Ajay Salanky, a photographer and designer, sent in these stunningly-beautiful pictures taken during a herpetology camp held in Agumbe, a small village nestled in the Western Ghats of Southern India.
He says:
Agumbe is a bio-diversity hotspot, and lies near some of the most pristine rainforests in India. In addition to the lush, green vistas, and a spectacular sunset that has to be seen to be believed, Agumbe also happens to be a trekker’s paradise.
However, not many know that these pristine forests are home to the longest venomous snake in the world – the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah). Romulus Whitaker, the renowned herpetologist, called Agumbe, the capital of the King Cobra.
