I'm thrilled to visit the Zhemgang District in Bhutan from January 10th to January 20th, 2026, for an 11-day solo adventure. Known for its rich biodiversity and vibrant culture, Zhemgang offers the perfect backdrop for my wildlife photography. As a keen wildlife photographer, I'm particularly excited about exploring the region's dense forests and diverse species, including the elusive golden langur. The absence of a hotel booking is intentional, as I plan to immerse myself fully in the local culture by staying with host families and experiencing their way of life firsthand.
