A selection of photos from my last weeks riding through Nepal, Assam, Meghalaya and Manipur

In Pokhara I meet Silas, Swiss cyclist. On our way to a bicycle store, his rear tyre explodes 📌 Pokhara
Damn, I miss cheese! Were briefly thinking of making cheese fondue that day, but in the end we were too full from dinner already 📌 Pokkhara
Nothing to see here folks, please move along 📌 Pokhara
Suzuki bicycle vs Adidas motorcycle 📌 Nepal
Waiting for my dinner while Grandma dries the little boy who just took a shower 📌 Nepal
Oops. Don't leave your Whisperlite unattended! 📌 Nepal
Knight of the night? Whatever 📌 Nepal
17.000 total km y'all! 📌 Nepal
Oh look, a picture of a tent! 📌 Nepal
To noones surprise, there was fog in the morning 📌 Nepal
Longest bredege in Nepele? You decede! 📌 Nepal
Chicken and rice! Again. And again. And again. 📌 Nepal
The "view" from my hotel room (yes, that's a window!). In fact, almost all windows in India/Nepal have bars, no matter which floor, and they are NEVER ever cleaned. 📌 Nepal
Sadly didn't see any live elephants :( 📌 India
My Rohloff is leaking oil again. At least it's biodegradable, unlike all motor oil on the streets 😂 📌 India
Here's to the Google Rating 4.2 restaurant. Indian advertisements are just... weird. 📌 India
Some of the trucks are actually quite nicely decorated 📌 India
Drying my tent in the morning sun. I really don't like packing it wet, so as soon as it's hot enough I usually stop and have it dry out to the max 📌 India
Dozens of times each day I'm being asked for selfies, and I mostly forget to take some for myself. Not this time the local police in Meghalaya said hello.
Field work 📌 India
Meat and fish market in a village. The smell was... not too great. But the dogs didn't mind 📌 India
Kids are just too cute. Have to upload the videos some times 📌 India
Construction site 📌 India
Are those houses still undergoing construction? Being torn down? I guess, neither 📌 Nongstoi, India
Saturday afternoon fishing in a village 📌 India
I had SchniPo in Susie's restaurant! It was festive indeed! 📌 India
Some people are really concerned about their property's safety... 📌 India
0___o 📌 India
Hope that's just a band name and not the truck driver's self-assessment 📌 India
At first I thought "they really produce a lot of cement in India". Until I realized it's just advertisement, virtually on every other building 📌 India
Please decide for yourself whether that sign makes sense or not 📌 India
Invited to stay in a church building for a night 📌 Oinamlong, India
One of my more "modest" camping spots, in an abandoned hut directly next to the road 📌 India
Camping at areal of the paramilitary police force in Manipur 📌 India
I have a new life goal... 📌 India
2 guys I met in Thoubal ;) After lunch, Herojeet and Kaminikumar offered me a token of friendship 📌 Manipur, India
Sitting around the coal fire with some guys from the traffic police in a small village 📌 India
