What's in a name: Drift Photography Tours

​​

My first trip to Bhutan was back in 2013 and also my first time running a photo tour there — thirteen days leading a group of keen photographers from the far east of the country to the west. ​

​

I'd named the business "Drift" to reflect a philosophy of travelling with an explorer's mindset. Unhurried itineraries that were frameworks rather than schedules. Take the path less trodden, chase the light, sit and wait, explore. I was never sure what, if anything, would reveal itself... only to learn over time that it always did. 

​

It was a tour of discovery, but also the start of something lasting: proof that travel is not only about the places we see, but the moments in between where experiences and friendships are not only created but endure.

​

This mindset is what now informs how we craft Retreat To Bhutan adventures.​ Of course this story is best told in pictures.
