Next morning, we’re up early to take an optional mountain flight over the snowcapped Himalayas – chance to fly directly over Everest in planes with oversized windows; the views are out of this world. Back at base, we’ll have a look through some of the most famous images taken in Nepal, and analyse some of the styles so we can try out for ourselves.

We’ll also equip you with a handful of techniques to make your images really stand out, then head to the medieval city of Patan, enjoying a lunch at a local family house. We’ll then tour the ornate streets of this city, getting 1-on-1 guidance from our pros, before a private photoshoot with the Kumari, a living goddess, normally not available tourists. Later, we’ll review our images poolside under the stars; our team giving you individual feedback on your best of the day.

More spectacular views today as we head south to Royal Chitwan National Park, which covers almost a 1000 sq. kilometres of lowland Nepal. We’re here to safari – where our team will give you step-by-step guidance on the techniques of shooting killer wildlife photography. The park is one of the last refuges of the endangered one-horn Rhino, and there are sizable populations of tigers, sloth bear and wild elephants. Up early to catch the morning rays, we’ll  pack our kit and take a tour through sal forest, water marshes and rippling grasslands to hunt some shots.

Later, we’ll head out in 4×4 Landrovers to explore deeper into the jungle; chance to shoot some Tigers. Later, we’ll visit the Tharu – people of the forest indigenous to the region. We’ll have drinks in a Badaghar – ‘the long house’ – chance to meet –and shoot – an ancient community first hand. Later, we’ll review our best images of the day under myriad shooting stars (we counted 40 last time!).

Today, we head north to spectacular Pokhara, to our boutique retreat with picture perfect mountain views, and a millpond calm lake on which to observe them – all in glorious sunshine. Here we’ll reveal the techniques of amazing landscape photography – running through the masters who’ve defined the genre, then deconstructing what makes a landscape great. Armed with these new found skills, we’ll take a trip the Peace Pagoda, the perfect spot to shoot the afternoon light over the Annapurna range, before taking a private row boat across the lake and our own private outdoor BBQ.

Next morning, we’ll climb up to Sarangkot, capturing the sunrise over the Himalayas – panoramic views are quite spectacular from here. Back in Pokhara, we’l meet up for lunch with some Gurkhas, fearsome Nepalese warriors with incredible tales to tell. You’ll even get chance to have a private photoshoot by the lake afterwards.

Later, we’ll have tea at the exclusive Tiger Mountain resort, then take the easy Royal Trek, designed for Prince Charles, where we’ll get incredible sunset views of the Annapurna region. Great pictures are guaranteed.

Next morning, we’ll say farewell to unique Pokhara and head back to Kathmandu, and explore the ancient royal district, trying out some street photography in the myriad backstreets. We’ll meet up with some sadhu holy men, then a private portrait photoshoot with them – before capturing the ancient atmosphere of this timeless city as light falls. Later, we’ll review our images as a group, and get individual feedback on your emerging style and skills.

On our final full day in Nepal, we’ll prepare you to shoot your final piece of work, in the magical city of Bhaktapur. We’ll give you 1-on-1 feedback, then help you design, prepare and shoot a final group of killer images for review in our pop-up exhibition later that night. The rest of the day is yours to explore the intricate and beautiful streets of this kingdom – come evening, we’ll dine outside in our final night celebration dinner, presenting our collection of images, then celebrate in style in Babar Mahal, where only the most well-to-do Nepalese hang out.

Next morning, we’ll have our final 1-on-1’s, where our tutors will give you personal feedback on your style and where to next take your photography, before boarding the plane back home, reflecting on the gentle beauty of Nepal – as close as you can get to heaven.
