Nepal – architecture
A photo gallery of temple architecture in the Kathmandu valley. In the West, these refined statues and carvings would be locked away in a museum, but not here!

A photo gallery of cycling through Southern Morocco. The country has some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Combined with gorgeous architecture and hospitable people, it’s a winning combination.
A photo gallery of the Hoysala temple of Belur. The temple is filled with intricate carvings of dancers, elephants and scenes from the epics.
A photo gallery of Shravanabelagola in South India. Jain pilgrims come here to pay respect at the immense statue of Bahubali and pray at the temples around town.
A photo gallery of the Gangaikonda Cholapuram in South India. The temple is a Unesco world heritage site.
A photo gallery of Angkor Wat. Even though the temple complexe is immense, it was the fine carvings and details that stuck in our memory.
A photo gallery of Bangladesh rickshaws. If there’s one thing that’s a symbol of Bangladesh, it has to be its colorful rickshaws… These moving works of art are everywhere.
A photo gallery of cycling in Oman. This country is barren yet the diversity in desert landscapes is enormous. After weeks… of pedaling there, our skin dried out and we were continually covered in sand. We had turned into desert rats.
A photo gallery of camping in Oman. Wild camping is legal there and since there’s almost nobody around, we’d just… pull off the road and set up our tent.
A photo gallery of cycling through Bolivia. This country isn’t the easiest destination to ride through due to the sand… and high elevations. But pedaling across the Salar de Uyuni is one of our all-time favorite experiences of traveling by bike.
A photo gallery of cycling through Argentina. The never-ending Ruta 40 led us through this country. Accompanied by a playlist… of road trip songs that played through our heads – the miles flew by.
A photo gallery of Myanmar bicycle culture. In this country, sidecars are attached to standard bikes. The trishaws carry everything… from goods to passengers. They even make comfy spots for a bit of shut-eye.
A photo gallery of South-East Asia bicycle culture. In South-East Asia bikes aren’t only used to get from A to… B. They appear in shop windows, parades, and are even painted on garage doors.
A photo gallery of the temples in Luang Prabang, Laos. Entering Luang Prabang’s historic wats gave the feeling of stepping… back in time.
Or as another cyclist put it, “I’m not a temple person. But then I thought; do I want to start pedaling up those steep hills again or visit an ancient wat. Buddha won!”
A photo gallery of Chinese bicycle culture. Their two-wheelers and cargo bikes are workhorses. They’re used to transport goods and… also function as restaurant stalls that can be set up on any street corner.
