Magisches Indien - Eine Reise durch den Subkontinent

Experience the fascinating travelogue by Thorge Berger, who fell in love with India—a country he found magical—in 2010. The award-winning travel photographer tells us how it all began, and what role the legendary American photographer Steve McCurry, the holy city of Varanasi, and a pilgrimage festival played in his journey.
Thorge Berger has undertaken over 20 journeys across the subcontinent, visiting sacred sites, experiencing mysterious festivals, and getting to know far more than just a culture in India. Time and again, he is drawn to the “Kumbh Mela,” the world’s largest spiritual festival, where he blends in with millions of devotees and sadhus on the banks of the sacred rivers. He is fascinated by the people, loves meeting them, and learns about their culture, rituals, and customs. But he’s also captivated by nature. He tracks wild tigers in the jungles of Central India’s national parks and roams through lush green tea plantations shrouded in low-hanging clouds. He marvels at the breathtaking landscapes of Kashmir and Ladakh and sets out in the Himalayas in search of the rare snow leopards.
Immerse yourself in this unique and diverse country, and let yourself be enchanted by Thorge Berger’s live report “Magical India” and his stunning images.
