·         Most of the best photo views in Bhutan involve brief to moderately long treks. Be ready & in shape, especially since you may be at a higher altitude than you’re used to. (Thimphu is at 7700′, Phobjikha valley 9600′, and the Tiger’s Nest monastery is at 10200′).

·         Bhutan is home to many poisonous snakes, like Cobras, so be cautious while ambling through fields & other rural areas for unique photographs.

·         For a lot of people, the highlight of their Bhutan photography tour is attending the spiritual Tsechus which are carnivals that can last many days with accompanying music and dance. Usually, the Tsechu is pretty hectic early in the day with photographers jockeying for the best position. During the afternoon, the fight for the best photo spots reduces as many photographers have already gotten their portraits and break for the day.
