VOICES ON NATURE AND MINDFULNESS
“The whisper of the pines, the smell of the damp earth, the silence of the snow – these are the heartwood of the hills.” — Ruskin Bond
“The Himalaya is as much about the spirit as about landscapes... it is a reflection of something inside us.” — Bill Aitken, Footloose in the Himalaya
“The mountain air was rife with damp wood-smoke... A ritual that goes on timelessly, to herald a day of newness.” — Namita Gokhale, Never Never Land
"To find a book that captures the simple, honest beauty of the hills and gives you a space to reflect on it is a rare gift… like a walk in a deodar forest—quiet, profound, and full of peace." — Walks with Nature
