  • Ladakh Himalayan Homestays.Pdf
    Homestays Benefit Local People and Threatened Species - Rinchen Wangchuk The Himalayan Homestays Programme: The snow leopard is more than just a beautiful and powerful symbol – as the top predator in its mountain realm, it is a barometer for the health of its fragile high altitude ecosystem The Himalayan-Homestays initiative emerged out of a series of brainstorming sessions with villagers in Hemis National Park on how best to resolve conflicts with snow leopards and other predators that were killing 12% of their livestock annually. The SLC and local communities developed alternatives that would transform a centuries-old problem into an opportunity. Villagers decided tourism was an opportunity that had potential and one that was giving them little benefit at the time even though some 5000 visitors were passing through the Park and their settlements. Starting in 2000, with initial assistance from The Mountain Institute and later UNESCO’s financial support, villagers and SLC developed a community based tourism program that would generate income and require minimal capital investment on the part of the villagers (see definition below). For all participating groups it was an opportunity to develop and demonstrate how an income generating activity such as ecotourism, could be fully integrated with wildlife conservation, and the protection of one of the Himalaya’s most charismatic and elusive species and an important Ladakhi cultural symbol, the snow leopard. During the workshops that followed villagers defined the Himalayan Homestays in the following way: “A traditional village based Ladakhi Homestay would share their traditional way of life and values with visitors, provide traditional food, in an eco-friendly environment that requires little initial investment.” This definition was a key component of the vision that was the driving force of the Himalayan Homestays programme in Ladakh.

    P.O Box: 26106 Kathmandu Address: Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal Phone: +977 1 5312359 Fax: +977 1 5351070 Email: [email protected] India: 23d Markha Valley Trek Grade: Easy Altitude: 5,150 m. Tent Days: 10 Highlights: Markha Valley Trekking is one of the most varied and beautiful treks of Nepal. It ventures high into the Himalayas crossing two passes over 4575m. As it circles from the edges of the Indus Valley, down into parts of Zanskar. The trekking route passes through terrain which changes from incredibly narrow valleys to wide-open vast expanses. Markha valley trek becomes more interesting by the ancient form of Buddhism that flourishes in the many monasteries. The landscape of this trek is perched with high atop hills. The trails are decorated by elaborate “charters”(shrines) and “Mani”(prayer) walls. That further exemplifies the region’s total immersion in Buddhist culture. As we trek to the upper end of the Markha Valley, we are rewarded with spectacular views of jagged snow-capped peaks before crossing the 5150m Kongmaru La (Pass) and descending to the famous Hemis Monastery, where we end our trek. This trekking is most enjoyable for those who want to explore the ancient Buddhism with beautiful views of Himalayas.

I have the privilege of forwarding the fi eld guide on mammals of Ladakh which is part of a series of bilingual (English and Ladakhi) fi eld guides developed by WWF-India. It is not just because of my involvement in the conservation issues of the state of Jammu & Kashmir, but I am impressed with the Ladakhi version of the Field Guide. As the Field Guide has been specially produced for the local youth, I hope that the Guide will help in conserving the unique mammal species of Ladakh. I also hope that the Guide will become a companion for every nature lover visiting Ladakh. I commend the efforts of the authors in bringing out this unique publication.

I refer readers to the full conference report by Monisha Ahmed and John Bray, but wish to congratulate all in the IALS and on the ground in Ladakh as well as Jammu & Kashmir who helped make the conference such a success. The conference sparked lively debate in the IALS about topics including but not limited to the constitution, conference venues, future IALS commitments, and publications. As editor of Ladakh Studies and keenly interested in the future of IALS publications, I will mention some key concerns that arose during the conference and that will no doubt be subject of discussion at Aberdeen. The IALS Executive and Advisory Committee held a meeting before the conference began to discuss among other issues, sales of current IALS publications and Ladakh Studies in Ladakh, India, and the wider world.
