Hiring a production coordinator
in Bhutan
When it comes to figuring out the right locations for you to shoot, hiring a production coordinator in Bhutan is the right first step. You can also hire a journalist fixer should you need to find people to interview while filming at a specific location. Fixer Bhutan can help you and your crew sort through the locations. We can recommend these locations thanks to our local professionals who know Bhutan well.
Thimphu
Located at an altitude of 2334 meters above sea level, Thimphu is one of the highest capital cities in the world. The cultural, economical, and industrial centre of the country, Thimphu is where production crews usually start their work while in Bhutan. Popular places to consider for shoots include the Tashicho Dzong, the Memorial Chorten, and Simtokha Dzong, the oldest fortress in town. Ask your production coordinator in Bhutan or your location scout for advice on where to shoot while in Thimphu.
Paro Taktsang
When talking about Bhutan, one of the popular sites in this country is Paro Taktsang. Settled at the foothills of the Himalayas, Paro Taktsang is a historical site. It is also a religious attraction for Buddhist practitioners from all over the globe. The site is tightly related to Padmasambhava, one of the Buddhist masters of Tibet. Ask your production coordinator in Bhutan for help with setting up a shooting day at the location. Nicknamed the Tiger’s Nest, the monastery complex is visited by thousands each month.

Bumthang is one of the 20 dzongkhag or districts comprising Bhutan. When counting the number of temples and historic sites in the districts, Bumthang is by far the favourite. Popular sights to see while here are Membartsho, or the Burning Lake, the Kurjey Lhakhang, where the remains of the first Bhutanese king reside, or Jambay Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in the country.
