Welcome!

Latest addition - In August 2010 I spent three exciting weeks in Northern India. Check out the new photo galleries.
NEW 2010
Gallery: India - Spiti to Ladakh Trek
The challenging trek starts in the Spiti valley and leads over the Parang La pass (5578m) and the Rupshu plateau to beautiful Tso Moriri, a salt lake nestled in a landscape that is characterized by endless plains, rough high alpine deserts, glacier covered mountains and the deep dark blue of the sky.
NEW 2010
Gallery: India - Spiti & Ladakh Monasteries
Translated Spiti means 'Middle Country', the province between Tibet and India. Isolated in the deep valleys the Buddhist culture of Spiti has developed undisturbed, in a little world that centres around its many gompas. I visited three of the more prominent monasteries in Spiti: Tabo, Dhankar and Ki (Kye).
SPOTLIGHT
Gallery: Yemen - Tour Highlights
Yemen, located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian peninsula, is one of the most intriguing countries in the Arab world. The Old city of Sana'a with its extraordinary architecture is a must-see, just like the dramatic mountain terraces in the northern and central portions of the country.
New design
I have redesigned this website. New features include drop-down navigation menus, user-friendly photo galleries and a simple site search. I hope you like the new look.
