Jeff Fuchs

[3] Fuchs brought due attention to this story in his book The Ancient Tea Horse Road: Travels with the Last of the Himalayan Muleteers (2008), where he documents the 6000 km, 7.5 month journey.

[2] Apart from being the first western explorer to have traveled both main arteries of the Ancient Tea Horse Road,[3] Fuchs also spends considerable time in isolated regions documenting the changing face of culture and recording the oral traditions as passed on by elders.

One of his most well-known articles appeared in Outpost documenting a three-week stay at almost 4500 meters with a community of the famed and feared Tibetan nomadic Khampas in eastern Tibet (Kham).

Fuchs was joined on his journey by Bill Roberts of ZoomerMedia and Roberto Gibbons Gomez on the expedition which was sponsored by Outpost magazine and Revo Sunglasses.

[13] Jeff Fuchs has spoken extensively at secondary schools, universities, academic organizations and public lectures throughout North America, Asia and Europe.

Based on his first-hand experience with indigenous cultures, Fuchs has urged contemporary audiences not to ignore ancient traditions and the importance of oral narratives in our society.
