Photographic toursWhether a beginning photographeror a professional one, the countriesof Nepal and Bhutan offer a limitlesssource of photo opportunities. Fromthe majestic Himalayas, alwayschanging their appearance as the sunand clouds alter their design, it isalways a challenge to capture just theright shot to remember thesewonderful vistas when you returnhome.In Bhutan, the variety of images thatare available almost make one believethat this small, Asian kingdom wasdesigned as a training ground forphotographers. Unlike Nepal, with itssweeping vistas of snow- cladmountains and the faded grandeurof carved wooden palaces, Bhutanoffers beautiful "dzongs", ormonasteries, hundreds of years old.In addition, the consistency ofBhutanese architecture and design,varied only by the imagination of thedesigners, will keep all avidphotographers clutching theircameras in anticipation of that onememorable shot.
