“Om mani padme hum”, loosely translates to "Hail to the jewel in the lotus", a mantra that might sound very familiar to all of you who have been to the Himalayas. For me, only by reading them, I start humming the song that I heard almost every morning. They’re also written on the ‘mani’ stone walls. “Always pass the ‘mani’ from the left side, clockwise” my guide told me. It’s the direction in which the earth and the universe revolve, according to Buddhist doctrine #buddhism #nepal #trientrapt #wwf #unicef . . . #trekking #himalayas #hiking #yak #threepasses #adventure #himgeo #roamingtheplanet #stayandwander #biking #outsideisfree #naturelover #touringrouteslikethese #nomadlife #fromwhereiride #nomadstories #natgeotravel #byseveralworld #aroundtheworld #modernoutdoors #instagramoftheday #travelphotography #naturephotography #instatravel

Yaks, or rather the domestic yaks, were often seen on the track. When they crossed our path we had to stand still to the mountainside. Over and over again I was intrigued to see them passing by. They’re so majestic, impressive, they are just wow! The domesticated yaks differ from the wild ones especially in colour. While wild yaks are generally dark, blackish to brown, domestic yaks can be quite variable in colour, often having patches of rusty brown and cream. #nepal #trientrapt #wwf #unicef . . . #trekking #himalayas #hiking #yak #threepasses #adventure #roamingtheplanet #stayandwander #biking #outsideisfree #naturelover #touringrouteslikethese #nomadlife #fromwhereiride #nomadstories #natgeotravel #byseveralworld #aroundtheworld #modernoutdoors #instagramoftheday #travelphotography #naturephotography #instatravel

I went hiking in the Himalayas. 18 days being surrounded by the giants of the world.

Many nice people cross my path. But sometimes I meet people who completely blow my socks off. I hear their story and want to know more: who they are, what drives them and how they remain so motivated to do what they do: be good to their fellow man. People who intrigue and inspire me. People who have to be placed under the spotlights. People I want to introduce to you. In my new blogpost (link in bio 🔝) you can read the interview with Daniel Bürgi, CEO of Himalayan Life, an organisation who helps street children. Children to whom immediately had my heart.

It was already a couple of months ago I met other foreign tourists. Here on this spot, I met a Swedish guy walking with his backpack all the way from Sweden to Nepal and beyond. He slept in the school (the green building at you right). It was a kind of awkward encounter. We both weren’t expecting meeting other tourists and connected more with locals than with each other. Strange... After a short ‘hi’, ‘where are you from’ and ‘bye bye’ tons of questions popped up in my mind. I actually would have loved talking more, but paths were split. Wow, what a brave guy, what a journey! #nepal #trientrapt . . . #pdgbikestore #roguepandadesigns #bikepacking #bicycletouring #adventurecycling #worldbybike #stayandwander #cycletouring #bikewander #bikelife #bikingadventures #biking #mtb #outsideisfree #touringrouteslikethese #nomadlife #fromwhereiride #nomadstories #natgeotravel #byseveralworld #aroundtheworld #cyclingadventures #modernoutdoors #instagramoftheday #travelphotography #naturephotography #instatravel

In Flanders we have a song about a crocodile named Sophie. She doesn’t stop talking. Well, for sure, these crocodiles weren’t called Sophie. I passed them already without noticing them. Although I knew there must be crocodiles in the river. When I returned I suddenly saw them, enjoying the few sunbeams of the day #crocodile #nepal #trientrapt . . . #pdgbikestore #roguepandadesigns #bikepacking #bicycletouring #adventurecycling #worldbybike #stayandwander #cycletouring #bikewander #bikelife #bikingadventures #biking #mtb #outsideisfree #touringrouteslikethese #nomadlife #fromwhereiride #nomadstories #natgeotravel #byseveralworld #aroundtheworld #cyclingadventures #modernoutdoors #instagramoftheday #travelphotography #naturephotography #instatravel

My first steps in Nepal are worth a blogpost. At least that’s what I thought. Want to know more about it?

Hope you had a lovely Easter 🐇🥚One with too much chocolate 🍫 Because seven days without chocolate makes one weak 🤪 What did I do this last week, the last month(s) or just on April 1st? (For original version see link in bio) #trientrapt #vietnam

While the jungle awakes, I’m leaving my camp spot to start the day #nepal #trientrapt . . . #pdgbikestore #roguepandadesigns #fxm #bikepacking #bicycletouring #adventurecycling #worldbybike #stayandwander #cycletouring #bikewander #bikelife #bikingadventures #biking #mtb #outsideisfree #touringrouteslikethese #nomadlife #fromwhereiride #nomadstories #natgeotravel #byseveralworld #aroundtheworld #cyclingadventures #modernoutdoors #instagramoftheday #travelphotography #naturephotography #instatravel

A new country means new adventures. Always excited to cross a border and see how different the country is in comparison with the previous one #nepal #trientrapt . . . #pdgbikestore #roguepandadesigns #bikepacking #bicycletouring #adventurecycling #worldbybike #stayandwander #cycletouring #bikewander #bikelife #bikingadventures #biking #mtb #outsideisfree #touringrouteslikethese #nomadlife #fromwhereiride #nomadstories #natgeotravel #byseveralworld #aroundtheworld #cyclingadventures #modernoutdoors #instagramoftheday #travelphotography #naturephotography #instatravel
