NEXT ADVENTURE
Distant Roads, Personal Stories
We have been traveling through the Himalayas and along the ancient trade routes of Asia for several decades. What always touches us is that these places do not ask for haste, but for attention. No destination is just a place - they are worlds full of layers, stories, rituals, and encounters. That is why we have clustered our travels around five themes. No lists or highlights, but perspectives that help to travel deeper.
Our five travel clusters
1. Silence, Ritual & Inner Space
Pilgrim paths. Prayer wheels. Morning air above a monastery roof. These routes lead you to places where silence is not emptiness, but a form of presence.→ For those seeking reflection, spiritual landscapes, and slow rhythms.
2. Trade, Connection & Imagination
Silk, salt, tea - these are routes of exchange and meeting. From Kashgar to Kalimpong, from Samarkand to the tea fields of Yunnan. - For travelers who want to feel history in markets, fabrics, and flavors.
3. Time, Landscape & Body
Altitude, breathing, step by step.Here the clock slows down. You move through valleys, along glaciers, and over passes.→ For those who do not want to view the landscape, but walk through it.
4. Borders, Nomads & Transition
Areas Far beyond the border post. On the edge of maps. Here, people live in motion - between cultures, climates, and stories.→ For those who want to travel through space and change at the same time
5. Taste, Tea & Hospitality
A bowl of warm tea. A shared meal in a clay house.Here you travel with your tongue, your hands, and your heart.→ For those who want to taste culture - literally.
