Shy Productions

Shoot at the Top of the World.

Nepal is one of the most visually rich and underused filming destinations on the planet. Within a single country, and often a single day's travel, productions can move between snow-capped Himalayan peaks, terraced hillsides, dense forests, ancient temples, and the layered streets of Kathmandu. Seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites sit within the Kathmandu Valley alone, alongside a landscape that ranges from subtropical lowlands to the highest mountains on Earth.

SHY Productions provides full production support for international productions filming in Nepal, managing everything a visiting crew needs to shoot here without friction.
