How did you get into travel and landscape photography? Did you have any formal training in photography?

My fondness for travelling came from my parents. They used to travel a lot. To be precise, I was 3 years old when I started travelling. Since my childhood, I have always been attracted to nature. Every genre has its own beauty, but, I found travel and landscape photography more attractive. I remember that my grandparents had gifted me a Nikon Coolpix when I was in class IX. My first trip after this gift was to Kashmir. I do not think there is at all any need to say anything about the beauty of Kashmir.

We all are aware of the serene beauty of Kashmir. I just clicked random pictures of landscapes in auto mode.
