Tibet, 1988

Two siblings traveling

When they were just 18 and 20, Ricarda and her brother Wieland travelled through Tibet on foot for about three months accompanied only by their donkey „Pongu“. It was a journey full of challenges and unforgettable adventures.

„I went first to see if there were any nomads living somewhere who could help us to find the way. I found them after 1 hour, where I was first eyed up suspiciously, but then invited to chatung and cheese curd. There was no sign of civilization here. It was really primal. There I realized that we were following the wrong river the whole time.“
