Question:Anything needs to be aware when I'm doing a photography tour in Tibet?

Answer:It's not going to be an issue for the most part of Tibet. But one thing which needs to take notice is that in some temples it’s not allowed to take photos inside, however, some are available but you need to pay extra fee for taking photos or videos. So it’s better to figure it out before any photo actions.
