Summer’s here and it’s about that time to get back on the road. First stop: Sichuan Province. I’m headed back to the mountain village of Jinbo to say hello to a few friends I met last year. Shown above is another villager, this time from the mountain village of Koal in Lombok, Indonesia.

Situated in the highlands of Lombok Island, Koal is a remote village inhabited by the indigenous people called the Sasak. We drove for a few hours until the roads became dirt and rock, and another hour more until the van went no further. We started hiking up the mountain until we reached the village of Koal. What we saw up there took my breath away. Koal Village
