Tempted by a trekking agency in Leh, we have taken a monk(!) as a horseman with two beasts of burden for a trek from Ladakh through Zanskar over a novel route. Ended up joining a larger group from the same agency and trying to realise our (novel) route against all odds — and it was an exceptionally rainy summer in Ladakh & Zanskar. After reaching Phuktal Gompa it was finally all new too us — until the Leh-Manali road. August 2006.
Joined an organised group (Studiosus) to Burma. Flying and taking a coach, taking a boat and flying again. Yangon, Inle Lake and surroundings, Kalaw and Pindaya in Shan, Mandalay, Ayeyarwady River ship tour via Mingun and Amarapura to Bagan with a side tripto Mt. Popa. Then a transfer to Kyaiktiyo, Bago, and back to Yangon. November/December 2005.
