Photographic tours of Ladakh, Kolkata and Bhutan
Small-Group Tours with Expert Locals
Our unique, small group, photography tours are carefully researched to provide opportunities for guests to engage with locals and their culture and to make thoughtful images.
Robert has explored all these locations many times and together with his local colleagues, has carefully crafted each special itinerary. Small group size means individual coaching is possible as well as access to private or hard to reach settings.
Led together with experienced guides and operators who really know their region intimately, have long established local contacts and are also skilled photographers.

What People Are Saying
“What a wonderful place is Ladakh. And thanks to Behzad Larry, Rashid, and Australian cultural photographer, Robert van Koesveld, we have seen the very best of it. Voygr – you are unique. You offer it all. So knowledgeable: history, geography, religion, culture, wild life, conservation, photography. And, most special, the personal engagement with the beautiful Ladakhi people in villages, monasteries and nomad camps, and the flexibility to stop wherever, whenever, to chat to interesting locals and take photographs. Every day was jam packed with photographic opportunity, serendipitous encounters and magic moments, but we never felt rushed.
‘Off the beaten track’, driving across the Tibetan Plateau, following the tracks of the nomads and camping alongside their yaks and gorgeous pashmina goats was a highlight. As were prayers with Buddhist monks in 10th century monasteries perched high up in the oh-so-scenic mountains, joining in song at wheat harvest and dining in the ancient caravanserai. Brilliant.”

“My wife and I were privileged join Voygr Expeditions’ 14-day Ladakh Photography Tour Sept 29-Oct 12, 2019 very ably lead by Behzad, Rashid and travel photographer Robert Van Koesveld.
The ~ 1000km road trip itinerary in individual vehicles covered all of the most significant Ladakhi highlights including Thiksey, Lamayuro, Alchi, Hemis and Diskit monasteries, the Nubra Valley, Tangyar village and Tso Moriri lake, with stays in a 4 star hotel back in Leh between each segment. We were also privileged to shoot portraits and have an evening meal under stars in Voygr’s refurbished Caravanserai, last used by Silk Road traders over 70 years ago.
With its considerable exposure to Ladakhi culture generally; its nomad pashmina goat, sheep and yak herders in particular, and; its stark, colourful and high-impact terrain, this trip stands out as one of our best ever travel experiences.”

What a great winter trip to Japan with Robert and Dai. Professionally run, with all the operational details well taken care of, including transportation, food and lodging.
Each day featured a new view and perspective on the beauty of Japan with all levels of photographic experience supported.
I have traveled to Japan over 200 times, a professional photographer for over 10 years and yet on this tour I captured new and exciting images for the first time thanks to Robert and Dai’s tour leadership.
Such a great trip I have booked another with them, many in our group were repeat students. Highly recommended!
