I like to travel, and I like to snap pictures!

My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you!
Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.

A Visit of Buddah’s Birthplace on Jesus Birthday
ByMarc Hastenteufel December 25, 2010February 23, 2022

Travelling behind the Inner Line After our party evening all 4 of us took the bus up to Kalpa. I had the finger advantage and could put my bag inside the bus. And boy that bus was full. People did sit on the roof at one point. But when we reached the Bus Stand in…

Update from Bodh Gaya
ByMarc Hastenteufel January 10, 2011May 2, 2015
Since a view days I am stuck in Bodh Gaya. After x-mas in Lumbini and then the holy city of Varanasi I thought it is a good idea to come here on my Buddha tour. And I wanted to meet Rita but that did not work out due to the lack of communication. Her shitty…

Trekking from Komic over Demul to Dankar
ByMarc Hastenteufel October 4, 2014April 19, 2016
After breakfast we packed our stuff and left Komic towards Demul. The walk is not really difficult since there is not a lot of up and down. We did not meet people on the way expect for a road crew. They where working on the street and happy that something happened other than working that…

A day-trip to Tabo Monastery
ByMarc Hastenteufel October 13, 2014
After we hiked down from Dankar (see this blog post) we did meet a guy and his guide that did spend the night in Dankar as well. So we could wait together. The funny thing is that the owner of the guest house tells you when to get up so you can catch the bus…
