A Cambodian snake chokes a still alife gecko, he bites back the snake and a cruelful and slow fight for about two hours begins… We had the great luck to see this natural spectacle – not in a zoo, but in wild Cambodia. And note: The short video is just the summary of hours!

During our short stay in Phnom Penh we visited one of the so called Killing Fields outside the city. For us it was unimaginable that such a peaceful and beautiful area was place of unspeakable horror in the late 70s. As we were and still are touched by the events that happened not only there but all over Cambodia, we prefer to write little and let the images speak for

The pleasant city Kampot, situated in the southern part of Cambodia, offers a wide range of adventures and leisure time activities. We rent motorbikes and explored the beautiful rural countryside to the neighbour city Kep: Exploring Secret Lake, Salt Fields, Fishing Villages and the well hidden White Elephant Caves… Lederhosening Dirtroad Adventure to White Elephant Caves We got lost in the outback around the Secret Lake and salt fields: farmers

After one challenging month of exploring mystic paths of India, we took a flight from Calcutta to Bangkok. But Thailand was not our desired destination! As soon as possible, we continued our trip to Cambodia’s remote tropical islands. Departing from the port of Sihanoukville, a small boat took us to Koh Rung, where a small wooden bungalow directly by the white sandy beach just waited for us – literally sunrise

Finally escaping cold, crowded, noisy India with severe food poisoning and being welcomed by a warm tropical breeze in the tidy and calm streets of Bangkok – what a surprise! But the differences were not only evident regarding the weather, also religion, culture and food were apparently Asian style. We relaxed a few days in a comfortable hotel with top service and even a swimming pool, visiting some interesting sights

We chose India as kick off-destination for our world trip and were overwhelmed about how breathtaking this country was, too astonishingly to describe in detail. Summing up our trip, we visited the following spots: Mumbai-Udaipur-Kumbhalgarh-Ranakpur-Jodhpur-Jaisalmer-Jaipur-Agra-Khajuraho-Varanasi-Calcutta. Enjoy a picture-potpourri of our impressions dedicated to Incredible India!

“I would not recommend going more than one day! The saddles are so hard it hurts like hell”, the Swiss backpacker Aaron advised us when we told him about our plans. But there are no test reports about riding camels with Lederhosen. That’s why we realized our plan: A four days/three nights camel safari in the Thar Desert in Jaisalmer, near the Pakistanian border. We chose a strictly non-touristic version

One of India’s most famous monuments is: the Taj Mahal in Agra! Unfortunately, this year’s January was not the perfect month for visiting Agra, as the weather was foggy most of the time and clear sight with blue sky was only a matter of luck. But we managed to see the impressive white marble mausoleum built from Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his dead wife Mumtaz Mahal. The creation which

Following the kind invitation of Shyam, a guy we met by chance in the old town of Jaipur, we visited an effortful social project intended to give poor slum dwellers the opportunity to educate their children. Actually, we were overwhelmed by the extremely warm welcome and hospitality of his family: his wife and five children, three girls and two boys aged between two and twelve years. Without any governmental help,

In the nature resort near the fort Kumbhalgarh we learned about the possibility to do a so called “Jungle safari”. We packed our trekking shoes, our backpacks and put on our  Knickerbocker Lederhosen. Directed by a middle-aged local forest guide who was wearing old used-looking sandals –sic!-, through an extremely heterogeneous mountain area, we hiked more than 16 km in four hours! Unluckily we didn’t find anything which was looking
