Sonnenschein im Annapurna Base Camp
Yaksteak und jede Menge Apfelkuchen, stundenweiser Aufenthalt in den heissen Quellen – so füllen wir während unserem Pausentag in Tatopani unsere Energiereserven wieder auf. Am nächsten Tag dann der extrem steile Aufstieg zu einem Grat namens Khopra Danda: 2400 Höhenmeter an einem Tag. In erstaunlich guter Verfassung kommen wir in der Hütte oben in Khopra … Weiterlesen
Around Annapurna
When we left for our trip around the world, we didn’t have a fixed itinerary, rather a whole bunch of ideas. Going hiking in the Himalayas was one of them. However, it wasn’t until we met Dustin, an American traveller, on a cross-border train from Mongolia into China, that we first heard about the Annapurna … Weiterlesen

It could have been straightforward: we already had tickets for the direct bus from Chengdu to Lijiang, when a landslide blocked the road, the … Weiterlesen
Rural China
Our next destination after Xian was Xining, the capital of the Qinghai province. It’s located on the Tibetan plateau, and we planned to continue from here through the mountainous scenery along the Tibetan border into the province of Sichuan. But we didn’t take the Chinese government into account… Upon arrival in Xining we were told … Weiterlesen
