8. + 9. November 2025     In my last blog post, I felt like something was missing — and then I realized there were still some photos from Wokha! So here’s a little add-on. There were plenty of food stalls, but Nagaland’s cuisine is, unfortunately, quite heavy on meat. In these greens things there … Continue reading Nagaland: Kohima – The dog: pet or meal? → Read more

7. November 2025     The view from my bed that morning already looked very promising! I had wanted so much to be in Nagaland on November 7th because that’s when the Tokhu Emong Festival takes place in Wokha, a kind of harvest festival celebrated by the Lotha people, who mainly live in the Wokha … Continue reading Nagaland: Kohima + Wokha – Eggwinning in the mud → Read more

6. November 2025     I barely slept that night and got up very early to head to the airport. I passed the long waiting time there with a strange sort of breakfast: an overpriced coffee and a slice of cake. Somehow, that has become my little ritual whenever I have to be at Delhi … Continue reading Delhi -> Kohima/Nagaland – PAP hoi hoi → Read more

5. November 2025     One day before my departure, I got really nervous. It was about the PAP — the Protected Area Permit for Nagaland. The information online first suggested that you don’t need one — and the websites presenting this looked quite trustworthy.       But my local contact was certain that … Continue reading Nagaland – The PAP-Drama → Read more

3. November 2025     My head is full of information and buzzing!   I’m traveling for five weeks to a region of India I’ve never been to before. Usually, you can easily distinguish India’s regions by their individual states and talk about each of them separately — they’re mostly quite distinct units. Not so … Continue reading Northeast India – before the trip → Read more

15. September 2025     8,3 km 0 m up 1.370 m down 3:45 hrs.   The first time I was actually faster than Mapy! How could that be??? But first things first: First waking up and looking outside: fog. Breakfast outdoors: fog. Almost done with breakfast: movement in the fog. And – hooray — then … Continue reading Sillianer Hütte -> Sillian train station – the Knees are singing a Song to the Tighs → Read more

14. September 2025     8,8 km 585 m up 435 m down 3:50 hrs.   That didn’t sound like all that much, so I took my time in the morning. It was still overcast and didn’t look as great as I had hoped. First, a little more picture-taking at the lake, while the others … Continue reading Obstanserseehütte -> Sillianer Hütte – An Angel in form of a Trailrunner → Read more

13. September 2025     6,2 km 670 m up 710 m down 4:20 hrs.   When you bring your own breakfast, it usually means sitting outside—especially if you’re making your own coffee. But here it was so chilly that I didn’t think it would be much fun. So we struck a deal: I’d buy … Continue reading Filmoorhütte -> Obstanserseehütte – No Water falls out of grey Clouds → Read more

12. September 2025     6,4 km 640 m up 230 m down 3:20 hrs. In the morning, I once again congratulated myself on my decision to bring my own breakfast. That way I’m somewhat forced to step outside – and I got to see the clouds lying beautifully over the valley while I was … Continue reading Porzehütte -> Filmoorhütte – Taking alcoholic drinks for 70 Euro → Read more
