Introduction of India–Eurasia collision. The nature of the IBSR has been examined by several authors; (e.g. van Haver, 1984; Garzanti et al., 1987; Searle It has been widely demonstrated that the evolution of the et al., 1990; Sinclair and Jaffey, 2001; Clift et al., 2002; Henderson Himalaya has influenced many external factors including oceanic et al., 2010b); with all work agreeing that sediments were dominantly geochemistry (e.g. Richter et al., 1992), atmospheric circulation and sourced from the Eurasian margin, and deposited south of the global climate during the Cenozoic (e.g. Raymo and Ruddiman, 1992). Kohistan Ladakh Batholith between Early to ~Mid Cenozoic times, In order to assess the extent to which these have been caused by thus spanning the most commonly quoted age of collision of around mountain building processes it is necessary to understand Himalayan 50–55 Ma. The stratigraphy appears to provide an excellent record of orogenic events, in particular the timing of India–Eurasia continental erosion that occurred during Indian–Eurasia collision. Previous collision. However, despite the importance for constraining the timing studies of the IBSR constrained the time of India–Eurasia collision of collision, the date of initial collision is still disputed; the general using the time of cessation of marine facies (Searle et al., 1990), first consensus places it around 50–55 Ma (e.g. Powell and Conaghan, arrival of Eurasian detritus on the Indian plate (Clift et al., 2001, 2002) 1973; Tonarini et al., 1993; de Sigoyer et al., 2000; Clift et al., 2002; and/or earliest record of mixed Indian and Eurasian detritus in Leech et al., 2005), with more extreme estimations ranging from the sedimentary rocks (Clift et al., 2002; Wu et al., 2007; Henderson 34 Ma to ~70 Ma (e.g. Ding et al., 2005; Yin, 2006; Aitchison et al., et al., 2010b). In this paper, we re-examine the evidence at key 2007). Part of this discrepancy is due to different definitions of locations, and introduce new data from the IBSR to re-assess collision and the variety of approaches to measuring it (e.g. Rowley, constraints to the timing of India–Eurasia collision. In contrast to 1996). Examples of current methods used for constraining the timing previous work, we conclude that Eurasian derived sediments of 51 Ma of collision include dating of the ultra-high pressure eclogites which do not stratigraphically overlie Indian plate rocks, and thus cannot be represent continental subduction (Tonarini et al., 1993; Leech et al., used to constrain the time of collision in the manner previously 2005; Parrish et al., 2006), earliest evidence of similar terrestrial proposed. faunas found on both Indian and

This a real traveller’s trip, accessing India’s least populated region (Ladakh) from Delhi (a 90 min domestic flight). Leh is one of the highest commercial airports in the world (3500m) and we take time to acclimatise here on arrival. We drive out to Chilling and camp besides the Zanskar river before beginning the trek up the Markha Valley. For many days we follow the glacial Markha river towards its source, steadily acclimatising as we go and admiring the sheer scale and variety of geology (as well as colours). The snow leopard genuinely still roams these parts and their tracks can often be seen. The iconic makeshift white parachute cafes are a welcomed sight along this route. Having acclimatised and cleared to 5100m Kongmaru La, there are still a few spectacular high passes to cross before reaching Stok Kangri’s base camp.

  • Eco-Rehabilitation of Tribal Villages Through Innovative Design in Water
    Eco-Rehabilitation of tribal villages through Innovative design in water management using Ice-stupa, promoting Farm-stay tourism and passive solar heating system- Joint Inititative of Tribal Affairs and Secmol in Leh The “roof of the world”, the metaphorical description for the physio-geographic region encompassing the Indian Himalayas, is the site of vast freshwater glaciers and the primary source of the major Asian rivers that have sustained life since early human civilisations have inhabited the area. In modern times, these freshwater glaciers are still the primary source of water, and thus the welfare, for over a billion Asian people, especially for the tribal communities of Ladakh who have been perpetually dependent on glacial meltwater in the high-altitude desert. Lying on the northerly fringes of the Himalayan watershed, Ladakh is characterised by distinct geographical and climatic features. Known as a cold desert, Ladakh covers area of 96701 km2 and with an average elevation of 3000 m, having annual annual precipitation100 mm, and extreme temperatures ranges (-30 to 30 Co). Much of the province remains in a cold spell from October-March, with only a third of the year left for agrarian purposes. The villages in the region are settled in small oases in the barren desert, on the banks of a stream, or amongst springs utilising the summertime meltwater. Regardless of its ecosystem services and historical context, reckless human interventions and global climate change have impacted the region immeasurably, in particular due to the escalated rate of warming at higher altitudes. Currently, Himalayan glaciers are receding at an alarming rate, from a few to tens of meters annually.

Board a morning flight and reach Leh airport. Our representative will receive you at the terminal and you then drive for about 20 minutes to reach Leh town. Check into your room. It is critical for proper acclimatization that people flying in to Leh don’t indulge in much physical activity for at least the first 24hrs. So the rest of the day is reserved for relaxation and a short acclimatization walk in the vicinity. Meals Included: L & D Day 02| In Leh Post breakfast, visit Shey Monastery & Palace and then the famous Thiksey Monastery. Drive back and before Leh take a detour over the Indus to reach Stok Village.

Originally a stop for trading caravans, Leh is now known for its Buddhist sites and nearby trekking areas. Massive 17th-century Leh Palace, modeled on the Dalai Lama’s former home (Tibet’s Potala Palace), overlooks the old town’s bazaar and mazelike lanes. Khardung La is a mountain pass in the Leh district of the Indian union territory of Ladakh. The local pronunciation is "Khardong La" or "Khardzong La" but, as with most names in Ladakh, the romanised spelling varies. The pass on the Ladakh Range is north of Leh and is the gateway to the Shyok and Nubra valleys. Nubra is a subdivision and a tehsil in Ladakh, part of Indian-administered Kashmir. Its inhabited areas form a tri-armed valley cut by the Nubra and Shyok rivers. Its Tibetan name Ldumra means "the valley of flowers". Diskit, the headquarters of Nubra, is about 150 km north from Leh, the capital of Ladakh. Turtuk is one of the northernmost villages in India and is situated in the Leh district of Ladakh in the Nubra Tehsil. It is 205 km from Leh, the district headquarters, and is on the banks of the Shyok River. Pangong Tso or Pangong Lake is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas situated at a height of about 4,350 m.

  • 1 Jonathan Demenge
    Jonathan Demenge (IDS, Brighton) In the Shadow of Zanskar: The Life of a Nepali Migrant Published in Ladakh Studies, July 2009 This article is a tribute to Thinle, a Nepali worker who died last September (2008) in Chilling. He was a driller working on the construction of the road between Nimu and Padum, along the Zanskar River. Like most other similar stories, the story of Thinle could have remained undocumented, mainly because migrants’ presence in Ladakh remains widely unstudied. The story of Thinle has a lot to tell about the living conditions of migrants who build the roads in Ladakh, their relationship to the environment – physical and imagined – and their relationship to danger. Starting from the biography of a man and his family, I attempt to understand the larger social matrix in which this history is embedded. Using the concept of structural violence (Galtung 1969; Farmer 1997; 2004) I try to shed light on the wider socio-political forces at work in this tragedy. At the same time I point to a striking reality: despite the long and important presence of working migrants in Ladakh, they remain unstudied. In spite of their substantial contribution to Ladakh’s history and development, both literally and figuratively, in the field and in the literature, migrants remain at the margin, or in the shade. The life of Thinle Sherpa I started researching road construction and road workers in Ladakh about three years ago. Thinle was one of the workers I learnt to know while I was conducting fieldwork in Chilling. Thinle and his family were very engaging people, and those who met them will surely remember them.
