Many thanks for your trust in us ! In Rajasthan the other India: lively, full of strange processes and values, fantastic food, colorful to the pain threshold, from the camel market as in the Middle Ages (Pushkar) to the bath of the crowd in the Ganges (Varanasi), from the World Heritage Site (Taj Mahal) to the blue City (Jodhpur). Not to mention the capital of the Sikhs in Amristar. Incredible and really indescribable - you have to see it! The travels were as always great experiences and leave lasting memories: in the photos and in our hearts. Many thanks, Dionys! Heinz and IrisLadakh (August) and Rajasthan (October 2017)
Phototour Ladakh - Spiti
We have successfully completed our pilot trip to Ladakh. We are overwhelmed by the scenic beauty. Also the cultural history holds so many photographic treasures around the visited areas.
Many want to go to Bhutan ... why?
What you will see in Bhutan, Ladakh also holds in store for you, but the landscape of Ladakh is much nicer, more varied and therefore more interesting. In Bhutan you have hundreds of kilometers where there is nothing to see because you are driving through forests. Trees left and right as far as the eye can see… If you are looking for a trip like this, where you will see nothing but trees you should go to Bhutan. I personally recommend Ladakh and Spiti.
The landscapes are gigantic, exciting, colorful and unbelievably photogenic in this unique light and this altitude!
Everyone would re-visit Ladakh and Spiti but nobody would go to to Bhutan twice…and why would that be?
Our Ladakh trip leads into one of the most remote areas in the world! The kingdom of Ladakh is in the Trans Himalaya and thus surrounded by high mountains up to 7`000 meters altitude.
It lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas and is therefore a dry area even through the monsoon season in summer. Every now and then a thunderstorm takes over and with its clouds creates a wonderful atmosphere. The area is politically peaceful; the king only has a symbolic function and lives as a normal citizen amongst the population.
The landscape and the culture in this part of the Himalayas is very impressive and extremely photogenic for us. You will not only be delighted by the light, your soul will feel very well in this area also. The magnificent light moods in the mountains, the encounters with people in their everyday life, in the fields, in temples, at festivities and so on will quickly warm and open our hearts.
This photo trip will offer a great variety!
We will visit a lot of sights but we will also offer other things, which a normal tourist will not be able to discover.
The smallest villages are embedded in the barren canyons and shine as colored spots and with the green fields as islands in a huge mountain landscape.
Again and again we meet centuries-old monasteries, which are elevated in a valley, built at the most beautiful point.
The mountains are a fantastic backdrop with up to 7000 meters altitude. We move between 3200 meters and will also cross the highest pass with 5360 meters above sea level.
There are no difficult or strenuous hikes planned. It does not need a physical condition for this trip. At the beginning of the trip we spend three days in Leh for the slow acclimatization.
The impressive visits to temples and monasteries you will not forget for a long time.
Highlights of the trip are also the fantastic blue lake Tso Moriri, the salt lake near Sokar and the countless, partly gigantic rock pyramids in ravines and mountain slopes, which are up to 100 meters high! Since we have discovered a few very special treats for you, far from tourism ...!

Dear Dionys
Twice we visited India with you this year, first Ladakh and now Rajasthan.
It is really unbelievable what this country has to offer in terms of diversity, breathtaking, versatile, amazing, wonderful, lively. The Buddhist mountainous region inspired us above all through the beautiful landscapes in the Nubra Valley and the two lakes Tsomoriri and Tsongar. In addition, the culture in the monasteries is very easy to experience, integrated into everyday life and wonderful for taking pictures.
