HIMALAYAS

Mountains are a world within this world. Like deep ocean. The big mountains in particular have their own time. Deep time. Old time. Once you enter their world, they leave an indelible imprint on your soul. Haunting you. Forever calling you back. When most think of the Himalayas, they think only of the big peaks…but in the lap of these incredible peaks is a vast landspace with a people, animals and plant life

The higher you go, the tougher life any living organism gets for man, animal and plant. These are ecosystems (as well as the cultures and practices of the people within these) are so rare, so special and although physically resilient, as a whole extremely delicate and very much under threat by climate change.
