Golden Hour Logistics
The best light hits the best spots when tour buses don’t run – that’s why photographers charter. Our drivers know the back entrances, the sunrise parking spots, and wait with hot tea while you shoot.
Gear & Etiquette
Bring both ranges (16-35 for landscapes, 70-200 for compressed karst layers). Tripods fine almost everywhere; drones restricted in cities and ALL of Tibet – ask us for current rules per region.
