Avalanche character and fatalities in the high mountains of Asia D.M. McCLUNG Department of Geography, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Correspondence: D.M. McClung <[email protected]> ABSTRACT. With the exception of northern India, there are few, if any, consistent data records relating to avalanche activity in the high mountains of Asia. However, records do exist of avalanche fatalities in the region, contained in mountaineering expedition reports. In this paper, I review and analyze statistics of avalanche fatalities (both snow and ice) in the high mountains of Asia (Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir, Hindu Kush, Tien Shan, Dazu Shan) from 1895 to 2014. The data are stratified according to accident cause, geographical region (Nepal–Tibet (Xizang), Pakistan, India, China, Central Asia), mountain range, personnel (hired or expedition members) and terrain. The character of the accidents is compared with data from North America and Europe. The data show that the important risk components are the temporal and spatial exposure probabilities. It is shown that human actions and decisions govern the pattern of fatal avalanches in the high mountains of Asia. KEYWORDS: avalanches, glacier hazards, snow INTRODUCTION such, are not the only records of avalanche fatalities in the The high mountains of Asia include all the world’s mountains countries containing the high mountains of Asia.

  • Nar-Phu Trek Duration: 21 Days Difficulty: Medium to Hard
    Nar-Phu Trek Duration: 21 days Difficulty: Medium to hard PAN No. 601340433 NMA. AM#1171, TAAN NRB No. 1573/021/072 Govt. Regd No. 115217/070/071 Travel time: Can be freely chosen Group size: Private Trek Quick Trip Facts Altitude: 5320m Season: Spring/fall/winter Accommodation: Teahouse The Nar-Phu Trek is one of our favourite treks and we’d be delighted to help you explore this majestic province in Nepal. Overview The Nar Phu Valley trek with Incredible Himalayan Sherpa Adventures takes you on a journey of cultural discovery and outdoor exploration. This trek exposes you to high peaks and passes, glaciers, and alpine valleys. The Nar Phu Valley lies north of the Kyupar villages on the way to Mangng. It is essentially an extension of the Annapurna treks. As part of the trek, we face the adventurous task of crossing the Kang La pass (5200m). But we will be rewarded with unique cultural experiences. This valley - like most of those close to the Tibetan border – has been generally closed for tourists until 2002. As a consequence, the Naar and Phu valleys are far removed in both time and space from the neighbouring Annapurna circuit. The trek takes you up steep gorges, past impressive chortens, herds of blue sheep and spectacular cliffs and finally over one of the region’s highest trekking passes. Reinforcing the adventurous spirit of this trip, we’ll pass by abandoned settlements that were once used by Khampa rebels (as well as mountaineering expeditions heading to close by mountain ranges). The Naar Phu Valley trek is an excellent adventurous journey and a great addition to a visit to the Manang region or the Manaslu trek.

  • Manaslu Circuit Trek - 17 Days
    GPO Box: 384, Ward No. 17, Pushpalal Path Khusibun, Nayabazar, Kathmandu, Nepal Tel: +977-01-4388659 E-Mail: [email protected] www.iciclesadventuretreks.com Manaslu Circuit Trek - 17 Days Trek the Manaslu Circuit, an epic walk circumnavigating Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), the eighth highest mountain in the world. Manaslu trekking route was opened for trekking for foreigners only from 1991, and categorized under restricted trekking area, so the area is still pristine and exclusively exciting as it still only sees few trekkers annually. While on the Manaslu Circuit trek you walk following the Budi Gandaki River valley through rocky gorges, shaky suspension bridges, subtropical to alpine forests and meadows, idyllic mountain villages, fertile farmlands that are scenic and soothing to eyes with non-stop natural vistas. With extensive wilderness in the lower elevation and great mountain views in the higher, Manaslu Circuit trek takes you through the geographically spectacular and culturally fascinating area with the crossing of the highest point ‘Larkye La Pass (5,213m)’ which is believed to be one of the most exciting passes through the Himalayas that provides a superb view of Himlung Himal (7,125m), Cheo Himal (6,820m), Kang Guru (6,981m), Annapurna II (7,939m), and Manaslu (8163m). Passing through traditional villages that are set or tucked on the side of Budi Gandaki River gorge, we get the impression that the lower altitude villages are dominated by Hindu faith, but as we head northwards the valley opens up to reveal alpine meadows, barren landscape, and Buddhism dominated villages in the higher altitudes that cluster beneath Manaslu’s sweeping north face.

    MANASLU CIRCUIT COUNTRIES VISITED: NEPAL TRIP TYPE: Trekking TRIP LEADER: Local Leader TRIP GRADE: Strenuous GROUP SIZE: 2 - 10 people TRIP STYLE: Tea House NEXT DEPARTURE: 02 Apr 2022 5 Based On 5 Reviews 18 Trees Planted for each Booking KG Carbon Footprint Manaslu Circuit is one of the classic treks in Nepal around an 8,000m peak called Mount Manaslu. While trekking in Nepal around Manaslu you see the spectacular landscape of the Himalaya. The view from Larkya La is superb of Himal Chuli, Cheo Himal, and Himlung Himal mountains and to the Annapurna region including Annapurna 2. Mount Manaslu is the world’s eighth highest mountain in the world at an elevation of 8,156m. A Japanese and Nepalese team climbed to the summit for the first time in 1956. There are many options for trekking in Nepal and in practice for many people, the Manaslu Circuit is one of the best treks with incredible Himalayan views. We walk through traditional villages with a range of ethnic groups. There is now a network of tea house lodges and is no longer a full camping trek. As the lodges are more basic than Everest Base Camp trek or Annapurna Base Camp we also bring tents as a backup in case. The Manaslu region is a restricted area and we will obtain the trek permits for your visit. The Manaslu trek starts at Soti Khola village a few hours further up the valley from the town of Arughat. The trekking trail passes through bamboo forests in the narrow Buri or Budi Gandaki gorge.

  • 1953-1968.Pdf
    VOLUMES 59 TO 73 Index The Alpine Journal 1953-68 Compiled by D. F. o. Dangar SBN 9°°523 04- 2 The Alpine Club, 74- South Audley Street, London, WI Y 5FF Preface The present volume of the Index to the Alpine Journal, the fourth in the series, carries the Index from 1953 (Volume 59) to 1968 (Volume 73), the last year before the change of the Journal into a single annual volume. The proposal for this continuation of the consolidated Index was made in late 1968, when the Committee invited Mr D. F. O. Dangar to undertake it. His willingness to do this in addition to the heavy burden of the Assistant Editor- ship of the Alpine Journal itself, and the speed with which he completed the vast amount of work involved, are very greatly appreciated; and the Alpine Club has recognised the outstanding contribution which he has made to the objects of the Club, through his work both on the Alpine Journal and on suc- cessive volumes of the Index, by electing him to Honorary Membership. The thanks of the Club are also due to Mrs Sarah Hollis for her work on the typescript. Charles Evans President May I970 Foreword This Index has been compiled on the same basis as the previous volume, but, to save space, the writers of obituaries and reviews have not been indexed. In addition to portraits, illustrations that have been indexed are, in general, those of single mountains or mountain ranges which are likely to be of geo- graphical interest. Pictures of pitches, or small sections of a climb, high camps and similar subjects have not been indexed: although of contemporary interest, it is felt that such illustrations, which usually in any case are referred to in the associated articles, can be omitted without serious detriment to the value of the Index.

  • 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.

    Nepal Hidden Treks & Expedition P. Ltd Manaslu Trek Introduction Manaslu Trek is a spectacular trek with views of Mt. Manaslu (8163 m), NgadiChuli (7879m.) or (peak 29), Himlung Himal (7126m.), Cheo Himal (6820m.), Gyaji Kung (7030m.), Kang guru (6981m.) and the Annapurna II (7937m.),Ganesh Himal Range and interesting Tibetan-style Buddhist villages ,protected wildlife, rhododendrons and wild flowers, raging rivers, precarious bridges. Manaslu Trek follows the spectacular Budhi Gandaki River all the way from Arkhet to its source just below the Larkya Pass (5106m). As you start low, at around 608 m, the landscapes are incredibly varied ranging from the green countryside and lush forests to spectacular high altitude landscapes skirting huge glaciers. On this trek, you will pass many villages such as Sotikhola, Machhakhola, Jagat, Philim, Lho, Samagaon, Samdo and Tilche Villages etc. Manaslu Trek is certainly a great alternative to the Annapurna Circuit. Camping gears are not required unless you go off the beaten track. The crossing of the Larkya Pass (5106m) can be tough when there is snow. However, the stunning landscape with the mighty Himalayas towering straight above you and the spectacular glaciers make it more than worth the effort. The pass links the Budhi Gandaki with the Marsyangdi valley. The descent passes through beautiful alpine meadows at Bimthang before joining the main Annapurna Circuit route heading to the trailhead at Dharapani. From Dharapani, we drive back to Kathmandu via Besishahar. Manaslu trek is getting more and more popular as a new trekking destination. Due to the increasing number of travelers, lodges in the major places are being developed.
