Assalam-i-Alaikum :)

I am here to present another travel experience to Head Taunsa near Kot Addu. Its 2 days trip. We stayed night in camps on Head Taunsa camping site developed by WWF Indus Blind Dolphin project. Its amazing experience to stay on river bank.

Initially this trip is planned for Indus Blind Dolphin photography but we were not able to capture any shot as the Dolphin came out from water only for a second and gone. So we modify the trip towards Birds and Indus River "Mohanaz" (The Boat Houses).

2nd Day (28th Feb 2016)

There is no proper stay place. We just use a wash room via reference in WWF office and place our camps in WWF office lawn.

The trip was started from Lahore. We left Lahore @ 0800 and reach Taunsa around 1600. We take a boat and go in deep water for capture Dolphin but no success.
Then we change our plan and came back on river bank. We seen a lot of different birds playing around in green fields. I pull my 200-500 f5.6 Nikon zoom lens out and start shooting.
