The centrality of the Himalayas as a connecting point or perhaps a sacred core for the Asian continent and its civilisations has captivated every explorer and scholar. The Himalaya is the meeting point of two geotectonic plates, three biogeographical realms, two ancient civilisations, two different language streams and six religions. This book is about the determinant factors which are at work in the Himalayas in the context of what it constitutes in terms of its spatiality, legends and myths, religious beliefs, rituals and traditions. The book suggests that there is no single way for understanding the Himalayas. There are layers of structures, imposition and superimposition of human history, religious traits and beliefs that continue to shape the Asian dynamics. An understanding of the ultimate union of the Himalayas, its confluences and its bridging role is essential for Asian balance. This book is a collaborative effort of an internationally acclaimed linguist, a diplomat-cum-geopolitician and a young Asianist. It provides countless themes that will be intellectually stimulating to scholars and students with varied interests. Please note: This title is co-published with KW Publishers, New Delhi.

The goals of this book are to update information on the effects of rural road development, both in Nepal and globally, explain the environmental, socioeconomic, and sociocultural impacts of expanding rural road networks in the Nepalese Himalaya, and to promote further studies on rural road development throughout the world based on studies and investigations performed in Nepal. Readers will learn about the history of rural road development, as well as the challenges to effectively design and construct rural roads and how these obstacles may be overcome. Chapter one offers a global review of road development, and both the positive and negative impacts of rural road implementation. Chapter two defines mobilities within the context of coupled social and ecological systems, specifically in the Nepalese Himalaya. Chapters three through five detail the environmental, socioeconomic, and sociocultural impacts expanding rural road networks through several case studies. The concluding chapter summarizes the findings of the book, discussing the need for interdisciplinary cooperation and collaboration to avoid negative consequences. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, policy makers, and development organizations.

This book examines the unique characteristics of the Himalaya that mark them as a special region among other orographic regions of the world. The Himalayan range is an important global asset for ecological, climatic, cultural, spiritual, and economic reasons. Its diversity of landscapes, climates, and biotic systems makes the Himalaya an extremely attractive region for tourism. The book examines tourism and development in the Himalaya region, exploring its sociocultural, environmental, and economic dimensions. The contributors address Himalayan issues from a holistic perspective, emphasizing the uniqueness of the region, together with concerns it shares with other montane, developing parts of the world. With a framework of sustainable development, this book elucidates interdisciplinary perspectives on nature, society, economic development, poverty, justice, health, social and environmental vulnerability, faith and culture, Indigenous rights, women, conflict, heritage and living culture, and many other concepts that broaden our understanding of tourism and development in mountain areas. Many contributors are from the Himalaya region, or have worked there extensively, lending strength through native and insider perspectives. This work will be useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, research and teaching scholars, policy makers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the Himalaya and their distinctive tourism and development-related potential and challenges.

""Rope Bridges"" explores the history, technology, and cultural significance of rope bridges, from their ancient origins to modern applications. These remarkable structures, often built by civilizations like the Inca Empire and communities in the Himalayas, showcase ingenious engineering using materials like ichu grass to overcome geographical barriers. One intriguing fact is that the principles of tensile strength and load distribution, honed through centuries of rope bridge construction, still influence modern suspension bridge design. The book uniquely bridges historical accounts with modern engineering, demonstrating how ancient knowledge informs contemporary innovations. It progresses by first introducing the history and geographical distribution of rope bridges, then delves into the engineering principles at play, and finally examines modern applications, including disaster relief efforts. This approach provides a multifaceted understanding of rope bridge technology and its lasting impact.

Everyone loves to travel or tour. But while the trip is thrilling, the memories stay etched in the mind for a long time. It is one such travelogue, the backdrop of which is the valley of the high Himalayan plateau in J &K, Ladakh and Himachal from 11,000 feet to 18,000 feet, with nine, at times inaccessible and dangerous, mountain passes, and the breathtakingly beautiful Shyok Valley, surrounded by unprecedented natural beauty, at an altitude of 14,000 amidst the Himalayan mountain ranges, the brackish water lake Pangong in Indo China border. On the road from Leh to Manali, the rugged Baralacha, the 21 bend Gata-loop and the beautiful Jispa. And the 7500 kilometers roadways of this journey, all covered in self-driven car, on completely unknown terrain roads on high Himalayan plateaus. This travelogue is therefore a record of an exciting travel experience.
