Pro-Tips for Your Shoot: Book Early: Morning light (8:00 AM - 10:30 AM) is the softest and best for portraits.
Stay Warm: Traditional robes are thick, but we recommend wearing thermal leggings underneath.
Oxygen First: If you are shooting at 4,500m+, take breaks! Holding a pose at high altitude can be tiring.
Respect the Culture: Follow your guide’s advice on how to hold religious items like prayer wheels correctly.
