  • Nanda Devi : the 'Bliss Giving' Goddess of Kumaun
    1 NANDA DEVI : THE ‘BLISS GIVING’ GODDESS OF KUMAUN Mountains, like men, have their history. They too are born, grow, decay and die. One cannot claim that, like men, they love, but it is true - and how true – that they are loved. Felice Benuzzi, No Picnic on Mount Kenya The twin peaks of Nanda Devi (7,816 m) and Nanda Devi East (7,434 m) of Kumaun stand majestically in the centre of a ring of mountains, distinct and beautiful, particularly as the first and the last rays of the sun caress their summits. Hugh Ruttledge, a British explorer, after his attempt to find a route to these peaks in 1932, described the Nanda Devi Sanctuary in a letter to The Times, London: “A seventy- mile barrier ring on which stand twelve measured peaks of over 21,000 ft, which has no depression lower than 17,000 ft except in the west where the Rishi Ganga rising at the foot of Nanda Devi draining the area of some 250 square miles (800 square kilometres) of snow and ice has earned for itself what must be one of the most terrific gorges in the world.” Without the Sanctuary and its wall of high peaks to absorb the main thrust of the icy Tibetan winds, the Gangetic plains, the granary of India, would have been stripped barren. History In 1883, in one of the first attempts to reach the inner sanctuary, W W Graham, a British traveller, tried to forge a way through the Rishi Ganga gorge, failing to make much headway.

  • Classification of the Himalaya
    Classification of the Himalaya COMPILED BY H. ADAMS CARTER This study aims to classify the different groups of the Himalaya from its eastern end westward through the peaks of Garhwal (Uttar Pradesh) in India. Wherever data have been available, it gives a listing of all peaks above 6500 meters (21,326 feet) and all officially named peaks between 6000 meters (19,685 feet) and 6500 meters with altitudes and coordinates. In some ranges, where peaks are lower, some unnamed peaks in the second category have been included. The Nepalese section depends almost entirely on the outstanding work done by Dr. Harka Gurung and Dr. Ram Krishna Shrestha. These two Nepalese scholars put together an inventory of all Nepalese peaks above 6000 meters with the latest altitudes, corrected names and coordinates. They used primarily the Survey of India topographic sheets at a scale of an inch to a mile (1:63,360). They also used maps ar 1:50,000 prepared for the Sino-Nepalese Boundary Agreement of 1979. For the Indian regions, extensive use was made of three maps published by the Schweizerische Stiftung fur Alpine Forschungen (Swiss Foundation for Al- pine Research) of Sikkim, Garhwal East and Garhwal West. Harish Kapadia and Dhiran Toolsides in particular gave great assistance by checking Indian data against further information available to them. Colonel Lakshmi Pati Shanna made valuable suggestions. Dr. Shi Yafeng also helped by providing an excel- lent Chinese map of the Everest region. In all sections, the Japanese Mountain- eering Maps of the World proved indispensable. Dr. Zbigniew Kowalewski had made fine studies, which are reflected here.
