Pauler was born in the 1950s outside Munich in Germany. She worked with autistic children as a music teacher. Besides travelling to Nepal, India and Pakistan, Pauler has also been on expeditions to Central Asia and South America. She has also written a book on her journey through Nepal’s Himalayas.
