Gerda Pauler Author

Gerda Pauler was born in the late 1950s outside Munich and soon found out that she had 'inherited' a liking for adventurous trips from her mother. Whereas her female friends spent all their money on stylish clothes, she used hers for rucksacks, sleeping bags and travelling around. However, she was almost thirty years old before she set out on her first trip to Nepal, and it was only then that she developed a genuine love for the mountains. Now, about twenty-five years later, she looks back at countless trips to the Himalaya and Central Asia - and knows that she will never get tired of going there.
