All upcoming photowalks are announced on our website and social media channels. Each announcement includes details about the date, location, and how to participate.
When are the photowalks announced?
The photowalks are announced a few days before the event; in the announcement section of this website and on our Facebook page.
You may also subscribe to our announcements emails using the form at the end of this FAQs.
Do I need to register in advance?
Some photowalks require prior registration due to location limits or special themes, while others are open walk-ins. Please check the individual event announcement for details.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, you are welcome to bring friends as long as they also have an interest in photography and follow our event guidelines.
Who arranges the transportation, food and other logistics for the photowalks?

Equipment & Skill Level
What camera equipment should I bring?
You can join with any camera, including smartphones, mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, or film cameras. The focus is on creativity and observation, not equipment.
Are these photowalks suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Our photowalks are designed to be beginner-friendly while still offering value to experienced photographers.
Wildlife & Conservation Walks
Do you organize wildlife or nature photo walks?
Yes. PhotoWalk Nepal regularly organizes conservation-themed wildlife and nature photo walks that focus on ethical photography and respect for natural habitats.
What does ethical wildlife photography mean?
Ethical wildlife photography means photographing animals without disturbing them or their environment. We encourage responsible behavior, maintaining safe distances, and respecting conservation guidelines during all wildlife walks.
Cost & Policies
Are PhotoWalk Nepal photowalks free?
Many of our photowalks are free to join. However, some special events, workshops, or collaborative walks may have a participation fee, which will be clearly mentioned in the announcement.
What if I cannot attend after registering?
If you are unable to attend a registered event, we appreciate advance notice so we can manage group size and logistics effectively.
Safety & Conduct
Are photowalks safe?
Participant safety is important to us. We choose locations carefully and provide basic guidance during each walk. Participants are also expected to be responsible for their own safety and equipment.
What behavior is expected during a photowalk?
We encourage respectful behavior toward fellow participants, local communities, and the environment. Harassment, unsafe actions, or disrespectful conduct will not be tolerated.
