As a researcher, author, photographer, and exhibition curator, Peter has traveled the world for forty years, focusing on Asia, India, the Himalayas, and the Tibetan Cultural Region. With fifteen international book publications, ten international exhibitions, and five TV documentaries, his research has been monumental in bringing fieldwork in formerly inaccessible areas to the forefront. An avid explorer, supported by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Archaeological Survey of India and UNESCO, he has been inducted into the Royal Asiatic Society and the Royal Geographical Society, London, and the Explorers Club of New York. For twenty years he has been the Chairman of the Society for the Preservation and Promotion of the Cultural Heritage of Asia (SPAH e.V.), for which he continues to realize numerous international nonprofit projects.
