Quotes from our contributing authors

"We ride along terraced mountain slopes, under sparkling waterfalls, wading across every river. Not a white elephant in sight. One afternoon, a kaleidoscope of butterflies leads us to a clouded leopard, reclining high in a canopy."

-Sharon Spence Lieb

"This place is timeless, with no hint of civilization. A distant mountain peak is hidden by low cloud as lightening strikes its side and the rumble of thunder fills the air, but directly above us the sun is still shining."

- Aaron Smith

"With the iridescent blue sky and cottony white clouds above us, we traced perilous dirt switchbacks whose collapsing shoulders threatened to toss us hundreds of meters below into the Mekong River; it looked peaceful enough from above - its banks and farmland dotted with eye-catching, whitewashed adobe homes, which seemed to beckon us into Tibet."

- Tom Carter
