Bob Marley Hotel in Muktinath, Lower Mustang, Nepal.

In the beginning of this recording the prayers wheel sounds like a motor-bike. With the horn of the car it seams like a urban soundtrack of machines, but then the prayers wheel brings in its very special note of sound. Magic!

Recorded with Zoom H2 and Soundman OKM - August 2008 in Kathamandu, Nepal

The Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave is a very holy place for the Hindu people. What I liked that much is that the Hindu people are so happy to be there that they express it within the holy place.

How much I love this bells!

On the day of this recording I could see these beautiful solar rings (Sonnenringe).

Cows are not that big in Mustang, Nepal. But the dogs who protect the villages are. You can hear them running around the villages all night and its hard to fall asleep.

Fabric store in Pokhara, Nepal

The end of the monsoon was in sight and it seemed that this heavy rainfall could be last rise. So I put my Zoom recorder on the balcony of my hotel room and went for some nice and very hot food.

After my return I found this nice recording with folk-music performed in the hotel lounge.

Nilgiri from the north

I did this recording from the window of my hotel room in Jomsom, Lower Mustang, Nepal. From my hotel room I could see the frightening Nilgiri and the Jomsom Airport.

Someone on the airport played this nice instrument and tune. I neither know the instrument not the song. Maybe you can help.

Mountains on the way to Yara, Mustang

The women of Yara have to work hard day in, day out. Being guests in Yara the women from the village between the two rivers (thats what Yara means)  made us a precious gift: They sang and danced for us. Not only to enjoy us, they also wanted to raise funds for a photo-voltaic system. A excellent deal and a beautiful evening.

Early morning in Kagbeni, Mustang,Nepal. In the background the Anapurna.

About the recording: In the afternoon we visited the Kag Chode Thupten Samphel Ling or Sakya Monastery founded by Tenpai Gyaltsen in 1429. When the light went off around 10 o'clock the monks started their celebration in the monastery.

I put my Zoom H2 into the open window of our bathroom to record the ceremony which happend 200 meters away. So you'll get the door, the water tripping, ... animals.
