From when I was wandering around in the Himalayas in winter.

One day, I come by a buddhist monastery. Nobody seems to be there, just a solar charger connected to a smartphone hints to someones presence. Through one of the windows, I can spot a few dog puppies in a messy room. When I was a teenager, I romaticised this religion with its monks in red robes, mystic rituals and singing. Up here, in this monastery and others I came by on my journey, this image cracked. The monasteries are often the buildings in best shape, next to a row of the housings of ordinary people. They’re separated by high walls and barbwire.

As the air gets thinner in higher altitude, vegetation disappears completely. I am impressed by the people living up here and their stoic efforts to produce food and have everything carried up here that cannot be grown from their animals dung. Away from the main tourist treck which is empty in this season anyways, it really feels like a time machine where things haven’t changed much for hundreds of years.

All I wanted was quiet time away from the world. Wake up, walk, eat, meditate, sleep, repeat. Away from noise, from all things digital and anybodies opinions about anything. The Himalayas promise to be a host for all those who are seeking silence. Also promised everywhere along the way was free WiFi and luckily, this promise was not kept.
I find myself on empty paths in mystic landscapes that feel like scenes from a Japanese Manga movie today and the Canadian wilderness tomorrow but not at all what one would expect the Himalayas would look like.
