Angkor_Cambodia_ 2006 : Angkor, near the town of Siem Reap, is one of the wonders of the world, overwhelming in its grandeur. The main temple Angkor Wat is just one of the many sites. We spent 5 days which was not quite enough to see the most important sights. Both the architecture and the famous bas relieves (of which there are about one and a half miles length on Angor Wat and the Bayon temples alone) are extraordinary. The smaller temple complex of Banteay Srei is surely one of the finest works of art ever made by man. And there are many more.

Bhutan 1_Oct 2004_Thimpu Festival : Bhutan is a unique country. It is bound to change, but right now it is still pure. This first part has the arrival to Thimpu and two days of the Thimpu festival. An incredible spectacle for the huge Bhutanese audience. There were very few tourists present. After the festival we toured the town's surroundings and made two short hikes to nearby monasteries.

Kerala, India_Feb 2004 : Kerala is very different from Northern India, and is one of my favorite parts of India. Its population is a mix of hindu, moslem, and christians religions, coexisting reasonably peacefully. The itinerary covered Kovalam and Trivandum (on the coast) -Houseboat on coastal waterways - Highlands (tea plantations) - Cochin(back on the coast) - Kovalam - Kanyakumari (southernmost tip of India, which is actually in Tamil Nadu state).
