🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

Kagbeni, in the Lower Mustang region of Nepal, has become one of my favorite places. Shrouded by the majestic Himalayan peaks, it serves as the entrance to the sacred valley of Upper Mustang. The Kag C***e Buddhist temple adds to the serenity of this spiritual gateway.

As part of our multi-day journey, we plan to make an overnight stop here before continuing via horseback along the traditional old roads. Our ultimate destination is Manthang, where we will partake in the sacred Tiji Festival, a journey that promises spiritual enrichment and profound experiences amidst breathtaking landscapes.

Nomadic Mongolia 🇲🇳

The Mongolian deel, a traditional garment crafted to endure Mongolia’s severe winter temperatures of -30 to -50 degrees Celsius.

Constructed from natural materials like wool and animal skins, it provides essential warmth and flexibility, vital for the nomadic lifestyle. This gesture of wearing a deel in the traditional manner l feel demonstrates a deep respect for the nomadic heritage plus shows locals that you are willing to make an effort to be part of their community. I always chuckle to myself when you see outsiders including myself rocking a deel, as the nomadic people are always overwhelmed with happiness much like here in Scotland when you see outsiders rocking a kilt.

🛖 🌌 🇲🇳

My favourite kind of nights, an evening spent under the stars staying in a Ger. Living and staying in a Ger is a normal way of life here in Mongolia especially among the Nomads who will move month to month during the warmer months of the year and tend to stay in one place for longer periods of time during the winter.

More group trips to Mongolia this year and next, please contact or

Wake up Call 😀🦌 🛖 🇲🇳

A symphony of reindeer whispers, a sojourn amidst the Tsaatan Reindeer Tribe.

The night air fills with the ethereal serenade of snow gently compressed under the tender step of roaming reindeer. This lullaby, woven from the very essence of the wild, cradles you into a realm of dreams, where the twilight speaks in silent verses.

Come dawn, a miraculous awakening awaits. The whisper of frost-kissed air is pierced by the curious nuzzle of reindeer, their soft noses exploring the world beyond the fabric of your shelter. A greeting as ancient as the stars, beckoning you to rise and join in with the tapestry of nature.

A wondrous rapture 🛖 🦌 ❄️ 🤍

🇲🇳🚙🦌

During the winter months, temperatures plummet to a chilling -30 to -40 degrees Celsius, transforming one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes into a vast, solid sheet of ice. This unusual mode of travel is not just a means to an end but an extraordinary experience in itself, offering a unique way to approach the Taiga Region on the way to visit the Tsaatan Tribe, known for their reindeer herding.

As one of the most significant reservoirs of fresh water on the planet, Lake Khuvsgul is a marvel in itself, especially during the winter when it becomes a bridge connecting travelers to the remote and captivating culture of the Tsaatan people.

As we close this photographic narrative of my Turkish odyssey, let the enigmatic sight of the second image of Göbekli Tepe linger in your thoughts sparking an inner deep curiosity and wonder—a place that defies our understanding of history and the sophistication of our forebears.

Harran 🇹🇷 A place with a remarkable past in southern Turkey. For a long time, stretching back thousands of years, people have made their homes here. They’ve built unique houses with the earth itself, shaping mud bricks and hay into gentle, rounded beehive shapes that keep the harsh weather at bay using mud.

This place holds stories that reach deep into history, with mentions by the earliest known empires like the Akkadians and Sumerians. It’s a place that even gets a nod in the Bible, it is said that Abraham, an important figure in many cultures, once called Harran home.

Long ago, people here looked to the skies with wonder, honoring the moon above with a grand temple. They’ve left us hints that they carefully watched the stars and planets, sparking a tradition of learning that lasted for ages.

While it’s a quiet town today, Harran carries the whispers of many civilizations. It’s a humble reminder of humanity’s quest to understand our world and our place among the stars.

In the storied landscape of Harran, Ahmed has established his life, deeply rooted in the nomadic heritage of his ancestors. His family, bearing the legacy of a journey from Iraq during the Ottoman era, found a home within the distinctive beehive structures that have come to symbolize this ancient city.

These conical dwellings behind me, crafted from mud bricks and emblematic of a unique architectural tradition without timber, have sheltered Ahmed’s lineage six generations. Howeve an idea his father had in the 1990s, made a conscious decision to transition out of these ancestral homes. Ahmed’s father, envisioning their historical value, sought to transform them into a living museum, a testament to a way of life both timeless and ephemeral.

Today, Ahmed serves as the guardian of this cultural treasure. Despite the challenges posed by the 2023 earthquake, which shook Turkey and threatened the structural integrity of many historic edifices, his resolve remains unshaken. Under his watchful eye, the beehive homes of Harran stand resilient, a beacon of history and heritage.

The ancient allure of Cappadocia’s cave homes, a hidden world sculpted by human hand or the whispers of ancient techniques depending on ones beliefs. These subterranean sanctuaries echo a global narrative or pre civilized cultures who chose to dwell with Earths embrace.

Diving into the depths of contemplation, one wonders about the primal reasons behind this subterranean shift. Was it a primal instinct, a response to tales of past natural disasters, a yearning for protection against unseen forces? Or perhaps a recognition that harmonizing with the land was an intrinsic facet of human exsistence. Maybe it was a pragmatic choice, a easy and efficient method of community creating carving homes from the very bedroom that cradled civilisations.

These ancient visually stunning sites definitely echo a sense of wonder what made our ancestors choose this way of life?

Cappadocia’s landscape is adorned with the extraordinary “fairy chimneys,” towering pinnacles of delicacy sculpted by the relentless touch of time. Forged over eons, these geological marvels arise from softer volcanic rock eroded by ancient floods, standing as testament to nature’s artistic power. Shrouded in mystique, these pillars have long stirred the human imagination. Ancient cultures, gazing upon these natural wonders, may well have seen the hand of the divine, deeming them as sacred venues perfect for spiritual gatherings or celestial observances. The fairy chimneys’ striking presence commands a sort of reverence, suggesting they were once beacons for hallowed ceremonies, their secrets as deeply embedded as their foundations in the earth.

The scenic carved rock dwellings of Cappadocia, Turkey, offer a window into a past shrouded in enigma. Originally hewn by the industrious Hittites, these earthen abodes were later repurposed by early Christians as secretive havens. Yet, whispers persist of a bygone era, suggesting these troglodyte sanctuaries may trace their lineage to a forgotten civilization, long predating those we credit today. Such speculation adds a layer of profound mystery to the already captivating tableau of Cappadocia’s landscape, inviting us to ponder the hands that first chiseled life into stone.

TURKEY 🇹🇷 🌌 🧙‍♂️

Venturing through the ancient lands of Cappadocia 🥷🏼 📸 👣 felt like an otherworldly expedition, akin to wandering the terrain of Mars.

Amidst the moonlit, starry sky, a sense of wonder and mystery filled the air, accompanied by the feeling of unknown spirits lingering amidst the unique rock formations.

As I gazed in awe at these monumental structures, it was as if three wise sages, frozen in time, had transformed into stone, their hooded figures observing the celestial dance above. This magical encounter with timeless watchers amidst the sacred landscape of ancient Cappadocia instilled a sense of both excitement and reverence.

Pausing for some light-hearted giggles—yes, we can’t help but snicker at the playful resemblance nature has sculpted in Aşıklar Vadisi (Love Valley) 🤭🤣

Now, with our brief comedic interlude behind us, let’s dive into the marvels that have long beckoned my curiosity and maybe yours if you’re still reading….

At last, standing amidst Aşıklar Vadisi (Love Valley) whimsical formations known affectionately as “Hoodoos” or the more enchanting “fairy chimneys” terms that dance around their more cheeky appearance truly feels like entering a geological wonderland. Picture this - volcanic theatrics from some 3 to 9 million years past, dusting the land with a thick cloak of ash. Fast forward through millennia, and this delicate ash blanket transforms into a soft rock stage called tuff, with basalt and andesite making cameo appearances as sturdier layers. It’s a tale of erosion and resistance, leaving behind these peculiar masterpieces for us to ponder and, well, chuckle at.

Charming, isn’t it, how the elements have whimsically carved such distinctive figures, each telling a story of ancient natural forces at play, seriously epic.

With fresh inspiration and Love Valley’s quirky sentinels bidding me farewell, I’m trekking eastward, closer to the whispers of ancient tales awaiting at the edge of the Syrian border. Stay tuned for more dispatches from the field.

Till then, consider this a digital postcard beaming with the coolest of vibes your way. 💫 Keep smiling, keep exploring—it’s a wild, wonderful world out there! 🌍✌🏼🌟

🌌🌌🌌

The sudden, inexplicable urge to emerge from the warmth of my cocoon-like sleeping bag and venture into the frosty night forgetting lm still wearing shorts unveils an enchanting truth often overlooked. It's as if we instinctively navigate not only the vast canvas of the starlit sky but also the profound depths of our dreamworld, intertwining the mysteries of the celestial with the ethereal realms of our subconscious.

Why does this wondrous domain, where darkness is punctuated by the effulgent glow of burning celestial objects, remain veiled in silence? The cosmic rays, ethereal messengers of energy, weave through the tapestry of our existence, whispering secrets that resonate to the depths of our microscopic genes, igniting a cosmic elation that transcends the tangible.

In this delicate dance, we are beckoned to recognize that we are not merely physical beings but are infused with the very essence of light. These cosmic rays, in their celestial embrace, delicately caress our cellular and DNA structure, initiating a spiritual connection that unveils our deeper unity with the universe. It's a mystical understanding that we are not mere wanderers in the physical realm but also voyagers in the unseen, where the stars, in their luminous splendor, mirror the very essence of our being.

As we ponder this intricate interweaving of cosmic energy and spiritual resonance, let us embrace this profound connection with humility and gratitude. Let it be a common topic, we are not separate from the celestial fires above, but an integral part of their cosmic symphony, receiving life and purpose from their radiant embrace. This awakening to our celestial kinship elevates our existence, infusing it with a profound sense of wonder and purpose.

NEPAL 🇳🇵

Just picture this: at the break of dawn, you're in the middle of an epic adventure, exploring the grandeur of the Shakyamuni Buddha after morning Puja, the largest of stone Buddhas standing at an awe-inspiring 32ft in the mystical Muktinath Valley, nestled among the clouds at an altitude of 12,600ft, right at the chilled toes of Thorong La mountain pass in Mustang, Nepal.

Now, an introduction to our stone host dedicated to Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, who attained enlightenment sitting under the Bodhi tree" from there, his teachings reverberated across the expanse of Asia, known for the The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, steering individuals towards a liberating touchdown of enlightenment and escape from the relentless merry-go-round of birth, death, and rebirth.

Forever grateful for diving into this spiritual whirlpool, awestruck by the fervor, fortitude, and reverence displayed by devotees of Buddhism and Hinduism. It's like stepping into a vibrant kaleidoscope of experiences and emotions, truly enlightening in its own form. The scene that's forever etched in my memory? And before you ask yourself where is the picture, yes l snapped a picture… but for now l watch to etch a moment in your mine…A Hindu man with about a 1000 plastic bags encasing each foot, visually shattered but spiritually invincible. The triumphant expression on his face upon reaching the destination? Priceless. A moment I’ll treasure forever.

Too be continued...🙏🏼 🇳🇵 ✨

NEPAL 🇳🇵

As I make my way towards one of the highest temples in the world, surrounded by the serene beauty of Buddhist and Hindu temples, the atmosphere in the area of Muktinath is vibrant, filled with devout followers on their spiritual journeys and curious souls seeking to experience the enchanting allure of this captivating place.

During my travels, I've found myself drawn towards exploring the path of Buddhism, and what a profound journey it has been. Throughout my encounters, I make it a point to pay my respects to those who are committed to various religious pursuits.

Upon reaching one of the first Buddhist temples, the Saligram temple, my attention is immediately captivated by the depiction of the demon Mara, a prominent figure often encountered in Buddhist culture. Mara represents the diverse obstacles and enticements that can divert us from the path towards enlightenment, reminding us to guard against the daily temptations that allure us like a dangling carrot.

Continuing deeper into the temple, an illuminated candle, symbolising the enlightenment of the mind, dispelling the darkness of ignorance, and fostering an aura of reverence.

As I gaze upon the wall, my eyes fall upon images of a tiger and a samurai figure, recognizing them as specific guardians or protectors within the temple. The tiger, embodying strength, power, and protection, the warrior symbol, serving as guardians or defenders, whispering tales of ancient valor and watchfulness.

Reverently, I remove my shoes quietly & join as a Buddhist nun performs a puja,a sacred form of meditation, the melodious ringing of bells purifying the atmosphere, dispelling negative energies, and the rhythmic beats of the drums marking poignant moments of transition or offerings, accompanying the nun's sacred chants.

This encounter has deepened my understanding of the significance of the demon Mara in Buddhist culture, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and transcending the allure of distractions and temptations along the spiritual journey. It's a testament to the profound teachings that guide one towards enlightenment while also reminding us to approach this journey with humility and reverence.

Ah, the mighty Tibetan Ponies of Lower Mustang! You wouldn't believe the thrill and privilege it is to ride these incredible creatures. Don't be fooled by their smaller size, averaging around 12-14 hands. These horses are a testament to both hardiness and agility, capable of traversing the steep and challenging terrain of the Himalayas with remarkable grace.

Legend has it that the horse I had the honor of riding was a gift to a local Sherpa from a highly revered Lama in Tibet. Just imagine the excitement coursing through my veins as I sat astride this robust and beautiful steed. The saddle itself was nothing like the ordinary ones you might find elsewhere. Crafted from a combination of wood and iron, it exuded a sense of rustic charm. Before fitting it snugly onto the pony's back, soft blankets and rugs were meticulously placed for utmost comfort. These rugs, woven from locally sourced materials like wool and yak hair, not only added to the horse's ease but also showcased the vibrant cultural heritage of the region.

And let me share with you something truly wonderful and something l feel is important to acknowledge 👁️ 🐎 🙏🏼✨. The term "Windhorse" holds immense significance in Buddhist beliefs. In the shamanistic traditions of East Asia and Central Asia, it symbolizes the human soul and represents the idea of well-being and good fortune. In the realm of Tibetan Buddhism, the concept of Windhorse holds a special place. It's as if a gentle breath of wind, imbued with joy and positivity, propels us forward on our journey - much like the spirited gallop of these extraordinary Himalayan horses.

As I rode through the breathtaking landscapes of Lower Mustang, a sense of joy enveloped me. The wind whispered ancient tales, carrying with it a feeling of connection and harmony. In the presence of such magnificent horses, embraced by the cultural tapestry of the Tibetan people, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this extraordinary experience.

Let the spirit of the Windhorse carry us onwards, unveiling the wonders of this awe-inspiring region with every beat of the hoof.

Sending Good Vibes always, Tristan ✨🙏🏼

Kagbeni, nestled in the Lower Mustang region, where the sacred Himalayas beckon with an irresistible allure. Arriving here isn't a breeze, be it by plane, car, foot, or even with the gallant stride of a noble steed. But fear not, for the path less traveled often leads to the most awe-inspiring destinations.

Now, let me introduce you to Tashi, Buddhist Monk and friend, custodian of the renowned Kag C***e Monastery, standing tall since the distant year of 1429.

In this mystical journey, the tools of Puja become our companions. The Prayer Bell rings out, harmonizing with the serenity of the mountains. The Vajra, not to be confused with the mythical hammer of Thor, symbolizes the indestructible nature of wisdom and compassion. Cymbals create a rhythmic symphony, leading us into a dance with the divine. The Kapala, although it may sound like a culinary term, is actually a skull cup symbolizing the impermanence of life. And the sonorous Conch Shell serves as a powerful call to summon divine energies 🙏🏼🕉️✨🤍

Now, as we conclude our visual journey, we encounter two monks seated in humble repose, looking outwards onto the Nilgiri range, towering at a majestic 7,061 meters 🏔️ 🇳🇵

May this glimpse into the traditions of Buddhism, the sacredness of Mustang, and the power of Puja spark excitement and understanding within you. And always remember, the true beauty lies in the synergy of humility and exploration, as we humbly wander through the wonders of this fascinating world.

NEPAL 🇳🇵

Embarking on a journey deeper into the majestic Himalayas, with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. From there, our next destination was Jomsom Airport, a small domestic flight that always promises a thrilling yet challenging experience. These flights are a test of nerves, as they navigate through hazardous terrain, face unpredictable high-altitude weather conditions, and operate with smaller, more weather-sensitive aircraft. Moreover, the short runway for takeoff and landing adds to the excitement. We were fortunate to catch our flight, sparing ourselves a potentially bumpy 7-hour drive through rugged landscapes.

Upon landing at Jomsom, we set our sights on Kagbeni, an ancient village in the Lower Mustang region, known as the gateway to the sacred and restricted Mustang Region. This charming village sits beside the Kali Gandaki River, and to reach it, we embarked on a 4x4 journey, traversing the remarkable terrain.

Our exploration was punctuated with captivating experiences, such as iconic suspension bridges adorned with prayer flags, a common sight in Tibet, Nepal, and other Himalayan regions, each flag carries sacred symbols, mantras, and prayers, and their vibrant colors represent five fundamental elements: compassion, purity, fire, water, and earth. As the wind gently rustled the flags, it was believed to carry blessings and positive energy, bestowing peace and harmony upon the land.

Notably, as we made our way through this remarkable region, we couldn't help but notice the spiritual significance that infused the area. Hindus, clad in vibrant orange attire, were on a sacred pilgrimage, most likely bound for one of the prominent pilgrimage sites in the vicinity, such as Muktinath, a place revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.

During our journey, we encountered locals who added a delightful dimension to our experience, particularly those driving their vibrant, artfully decorated trucks, which seemed to mirror the vivid spirit of the region.

Nepal 🇳🇵

As I continued my exploration in Kathmandu, I found myself immersed in the bustling charm of Durbar Square - a treasure trove of intertwining Buddhist and Hindu cultures. A significant landmark, the square pulsated with spiritual energy. Weaved into this tapestry was a solitary Sadhu (a holy person), seated humbly beneath the formidable figure of Bhairava - a facet of Shiva, known for his/her fierce avatar, eradicator of fear, protector, resulting in a powerful aura in whose shadow the locals made offerings by candlelight.

I ventured a few steps to the Kotilingeshwar Mahadev Temple. As l clocked on the westside of the temple a majestic bull, aha l knew this was a symbol of Shiva, most notably Nandi, caught my gaze. Inside, a beautifully crafted sculpture of Shiva, the regenerative destroyer, invoked awe, reverence, and a certain sense of tranquility.

Further into the depths of Kathmandu, I encountered Swoyambhunath, or the ever famous Monkey Temple, a spiritual sanctuary brimming with monkeys revered in Tibetan Buddhism. This ancient complex atop a hill is strewn with striking stupas and shrines belonging to different periods, most notably the Licchavi era (400 to 750 AD). These aren't just structures, but markers of time, bearing witness to the city’s rich history. The temple, featuring a Tibetan monastery, museum, and library, stood as a beacon of spiritual awakening, offering an epic panorama of Kathmandu’s sprawling landscape – a sight that softly whispers stories of the city’s vibrant past and diverse culture.

Ah, the vibrant streets of Kathmandu in Nepal! They are a breathtaking blend of chaos and celebration, where the essence of culture thrives.

In this magnificent tapestry of life, a lama zooms past on his moped, accompanied by his loyal canine companion. Their spirited presence embodies the harmonious balance between tradition and modernity, showcasing the interplay of ancient wisdom and contemporary life.

Amidst the colorful chaos, you encounter three graceful ladies patiently awaiting customers. Their determined spirits reflect the resilience and industriousness deeply rooted in the people of Kathmandu.

Meandering through the narrow streets, a small temple catches my eye, basking in the warm embrace of the sun. Its humble presence reminds you of the rich spiritual heritage that permeates every nook and cranny of Kathmandu.

As l snapped a photo capturing the chaotic web of electrical wiring, a sense of disbelief washes over me and maybe you…It's a reminder that the norm here might be different from the western world, highlighting the unique blend of adventure and caution that defines life in Kathmandu.

You witness a Hindu lady offering her heartfelt devotion. The tree standing tall within the small temple grounds holds a special allure, igniting your imagination. It symbolizes the tree of life, connecting our physical realm with the realms of the gods, hinting at the infinite mysteries and cosmic wonders that lie just beyond our senses.

The streets of Kathmandu teach us valuable lessons, reminding us of life's tests and the resilience required to navigate them.

So, continue to revel in the wonder of Kathmandu, keeping your heart open to its cultural treasures, the fusion of Buddhism and Hinduism, and the relentless vivacity of its streets.

NEPAL 🇳🇵

The captivating lands of Nepal's Kathmandu, punctuated by awe-inspiring moments and spiritual revelations. It feels only fitting to begin sharing my tale with the very first photograph that captured my heart.

Behold, the divine Bouddha Stupa, this sacred structure stands as a testament to the teachings of Buddha and the eternal nature of existence. Its circular design, meticulously crafted, encircles a path of enlightenment. Here, the faithful embark on a pilgrimage, walking clockwise around the Stupa, thereby honoring the path set forth by Buddha himself. Each morning, guided by respect and a personal connection, I joined countless others on this sacred journey, feeling the resonance within my soul.

As I delved deeper into the embrace of the Stupa, a hidden gem awaited me within its circular perimeter. The enchanting Guru Lhakhang Monastery stood tall, inviting me in for introspection and spiritual exploration during morning Puja. Amidst the rising sun, this morning meditation whispered ancient wisdom, urging me to immerse myself more in the deeper understanding of buddhism especially Bön.

An enchanting tableau unfolded before my eyes, offering a glimpse into the tender hearts of the Buddhist faith. Nestled in peaceful slumber outside the Stupa, was a pack of gentle dogs, embodying the sanctity bestowed upon all sentient beings. Their mere presence illustrated the profound Buddhist belief in compassion towards every life form.

And then, the 4th picture captured a poignant moment of devotion and hope. A sight to behold, people fervently offered their heartfelt prayers to Maitreya, the Buddha of the future. Amongst the swells of incense and whispered invocations, these offerings symbolized the timeless longing for a future drenched in enlightenment and tranquility. Maitreya, the embodiment of boundless loving-kindness, held a promise that resonated deep within my being.

These captivating experiences, shared through the lens of my camera, serve as a humble homage to the beginning of my transformative journey through Nepal. May this be a prologue to an enchanting story that unravels the boundless wisdom and grace that Nepal has to offer.

Greetings from the heart of Nepal 🇳🇵 🐎 🏔️ ⭐️

Our initial objective was to conquer the serene Tilicho Lake, but fate had other plans. Due to sudden avalanches and consequent threats, we made a strategic shift and chose to investigate the bounties of the lower Mustang, nestled between 3000 - 4000m.

This expedition has so far been nothing short of exhilarating; interlaced with a palette of emotions, riveting adventures and profound spirituality. Our encounters ranged from delving into the ancient meditation caves to partaking in early morning Buddhist pujas.

Interestingly, we got a chance to interact directly with monks and lamas thriving in these ancient terrains. We acquired insight into their sacred practices and rituals, a blend of time-honored Bon tradition and Buddhism.

Majestic horseback rides on Tibetan Ponies 🐎🤍 and treks by foot in this stunning region of the Himalayas has given me a richer, more intimate experience.

In time, l look forward to share more of my journey with pictures and videos.

Embracing the remarkable spirit of Nepal, sending you love and positive energy. 🇳🇵 ✨🙏🏼

Ah, the Old Man of Storr, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 a place brimming with enchantment and wonder! As I ventured into the night, camera in hand, I could feel the energy of this extraordinary site pulsating through the air. The ancient formations on the Isle of Skye whispered their secrets to me in hushed tones.

As I gazed upon the towering rock structure, the Old Man of Storr, it felt as if a magical portal had been opened. The entire landscape seemed to come alive, luring me into its hidden depths. In that moment, I had become both explorer and storyteller.

Capturing the night sky dancing above this majestic wonder was a thrilling adventure. I was bewitched by the way the stars adorned the darkness, as if joining in a celestial celebration with the old man himself. The giant story mythology intertwining with my lens, weaving tales of heroes and giants, created a symphony of enchantment.

In those moments, as I framed the beauty before me, I couldn't help but be swept away by the spellbinding nature of it all. The Old Man of Storr had become a magical stage, and I was privileged to witness its awe-inspiring performance.
