The photography opportunities on a trip are immense.
Photography is permitted nearly everywhere in Bhutan
and the local population has no aversion to being
photographed. If you wish to record the local population,
their houses, shops etc, always ask by gestures if
it is okay to do so. Photography inside the Dzongs
and Monasteries are not permitted. Please follow your
guide's instruction carefully while visiting Dzongs,
monasteries and religious institution. Of late, the
Royal Government encourages the filming groups. Any
commercial Filming must pay a royalty to obtain the
