Snapshots of Leh















Few places in India are so traveller-friendly and yet so enchanting and hassle-free as mountain-framed Leh. The altitude means that most visitors initially suffer mild headaches and breathlessness. I also had a very bumpy heart at nighttime…

Flying to Leh

This is a photo taken from the airplane flying to Leh in Ladakh. The mountains are spectacular in the himalayan mountains! Ladakh means the land of high passes and is a region of India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Leh is a beautiful place, a little bustling and touristic, but with very friendly locals. Almost half of Ladakhis are Shia Muslims and the rest are mostly Tibetan Buddhists!

Beautiful Room in Senggigi - Lombok






What a wonderful place to be! I found this colorful room on airbnb and it was our home for two weeks on Lombok! Edu is a great host, also his staff. Starting the morning with an outdoor shower in the beautiful bathroom, then having a tasty nasi goreng and pineapple juice for breakfast! I also loved the view over the mosque till the sea of Senggigi! Thank you for the wonderful time!

The Rinjani Mountain Garden in Teres Genit, Lombok











If you're looking for something else than beaches on Lombok, this is the place to go. The German owners, Roland and Toni, are very nice and helpful, the location is just breathtaking with views all the way to the sea and the Rinjani Mountain. The food is very good, every afternoon there is a homemade cake from Toni! In the wonderful garden there's lots of space to relax, including a natural pool for refreshment after one of the nice walks you will be sure to take. You share the area with Toni's amazing collection of animals, many of them rescued and raised by herself.
