5 weeks time we are off to Bhutan. Via Kolkata. Spending a few nights at Paro, Thimphu and Bumthang. Apart from the well know locations (Tiger's Nest etc) any lesser known photogenic attractions to look out for? Our trip is a 50:50 culture/wildlife over 14 days.

I can't think of any specific places or locations other than the places you have mentioned but the buildings, culture, markets and people will give you plenty of opportunities. I remember landing in Paro and as soon a I stepped off the plane the terminal building was like nothing I have seen before. If there is a festival on then they are well worth checking out too. There are some interesting murals on buildings which you won't see in any other country.

It is an incredible magical place and although it is some years since I was there I would say it is one of my favourite countries I have ever been too. And just the flight in it's self is an experience.

You'll have an amazing time.

I've beeb to Bhutan, many years ago. I'll have to dig out my old photos. Interesting place, and so much to photograph. You might not get to the Tigers Nest. They didn't allow people near it when I was there. Still, you will have an excellent view across the valley.
