This issue travels from the remote mountain village of Shadey in Ladakh to the towering cliffs of Kyrgyzstan, collecting stories of people living—and climbing—on their own terms. Himanshu Vats journeys to one of India's most isolated communities to learn how its residents cultivate an entire year's worth of food in just three months, while four women reflect on friendship, fear, and the realities of a climbing expedition through Central Asia. Remind yourself that adventure is often less about where you go, and more about the people you meet along the way.
