Luca, Italy (Professional Travel Photographer)
Deya Bhutan crafted the perfect photography itinerary—sunrise at Tiger’s Nest without crowds, golden-hour shots at Punakha Dzong, and even arranged a private monk blessing for my camera! Our guide knew every hidden viewpoint and carried extra batteries for us. My portfolio has never looked better.
Priya & Raj, India (Documentary Photographers)
I wanted authentic Bhutan, not just clichés. Deya took us to remote villages where we photographed elderly weavers spinning yak wool, monks debating in courtyards, and children playing archery. They even got us into a private tshechu rehearsal—unforgettable!
Elena, Germany
As a landscape photographer, I needed perfect timing. Deya’s guides tracked weather patterns and moon phases, getting us to Phobjikha Valley for fog-draped crane shots and Paro for alpenglow on snow peaks. They even packed headlamps for pre-dawn hikes!
Sarah, USA (Beginner Photographer)
I arrived with just a smartphone and left with National Geographic-worthy shots! Deya’s photography guide taught me composition tricks using prayer flags as leading lines and how to capture candlelit rituals in low light. They even arranged a village portrait session where locals dressed in heirloom jewelry.
