Bhutan photographic journeys
With Jon Nicholson's experience of over 26 years as a professional photographer and A&K's local knowledge and ability to open closed doors, you will not only return with wonderful memories, but also a stunning photographic record of your journey. Journey through the incredible mountain kingdom of Bhutan where you can capture the ancient dzongs and prayer flag strewn mountain passes.
Best time to be there
Bhutan offers warm days and cool nights all year round. October and November are arguably the best months, when the monsoon has passed and the skies are clear for mountain photography. The spring months of March, April and May are best for the flora, but it can be stormy as the monsoon builds up for July-September.
