  • SURVEY in the NANDA DEVI DISTRICT. E. E. Shipton
    SURVEY IN THE NANDA DEVI DISTRICT SURVEY IN THE NANDA DEVI DISTRICT BY E. E. SHIPTON Read before the Alpine Club, l\1arch g, 1937 OUNTAINEERS will have been interested to learn that the Survey of India is now engaged on a new !-inch map of the mountain regions of Kumaon and Garhwal. Previous surveys, as produced on the present !-inch sheets 53 N and 62 B, had been confined almost entirely to the popu­ lated and revenue-producing areas in or near to the great arterial valleys. Most of the glacier-cov~red country and the remoter valleys of these sheets are very sketchily drawn, in many places, indeed, so sketchily as to bear no resemblance whatever to the ground in question. Over much of the country, too, it has been found necessary to extend the primary triangulation. While engaged on this task in the Badrinath-Kedarnath range, Major Osmaston found that the whole trunk of the Gangotri Glacier was, in fact, several miles W. of the position allotted to it on the map. I hope that now at last we shall have a final solution to the topographical problems of this area. which have excited so much discussion as a result of the various expeditions which have recently brought back a lot of vague data about the range. The usual method employed for hill surveys in India is plane­ tabling by Indians, 'vho are each responsible for a section of the area. These men work with remarkable speed and neatness and, under the close supervision of their officers, they produce very good work.

The Biosphere Reserve spreads over three districts of Uttarakhand - Chamoli in Garhwal and Bageshwar and Pithoragarh in Kumaun. The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve falls under Himalayan Highlands (2a) zone of the biogeographic zonation of India. It has wide altitudinal range (1,500 - 7,817 m). It covers 6407.03 km2 area with core zone (712.12 km2), buffer zone (5,148.57 km2) and transition zone (546.34 km2).

K. Maikhuri, Scientist In-charge, Garhwal Unit, GB Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development, Garhwal Unit, Srinagar, Garhwal, Uttarakhand Summary: The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is situated in Himalayan highlands biogeographic province of India was established in 1988 under the UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere Programme (MAB) for the conservation of biological and cultural diversity. It consists of a central core zone (624.62 km2) surrounded by a buffer zone (1612.12 km2). In1992 it was declared as one of the world heritage site by World Heritage Committee. Legally the reserve includes the areas of reserve forests, civil forests and panchayat forests and individual farmlands. From the geomorphological point of view, the buffer zone occupies the entire Rishi Ganga catchment. A total of 17 villages are situated in the buffer zone of NDBR, of which 10 villages fall in the Garhwal (district Chamoli) and 7 villages in Kumaon (districts Pithoragarh and Almora). The present study was carried out in the 10 buffer zone villages belonging to Chamoli district of Garhwal Himalaya with a total population of 2253. The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is one such protected area where local people inhabited in the buffer zone areas have been deprived of the traditional uses of the natural resources from the reserve.

  • Papua New Guinea Highlands and Mt Wilhelm 1978 Part 1
    PAPUA NEW GUINEA HIGHLANDS AND MT WILHELM 1978 PART 1 The predawn forest became alive with the melodic calls of unseen thrushes, and the piercing calls of distant parrots. The skies revealed the warmth of the morning dawn revealing thunderheads over the distant mountains that seemed to reach the melting stars as the night sky disappeared. I was 30 meters above the ground in a tree blind climbed before dawn. Swirling mists enshrouded the steep jungle canopy amidst a great diversity of forest trees. I was waiting for male lesser birds of paradise Paradisaea minor to come in to a tree lek next to the blind, where males compete for prominent perches and defend them from rivals. From these perch’s males display by clapping their wings and shaking their head. At sunrise, two male Lesser Birds-of-Paradise arrived, scuffled for the highest perch and called with a series of loud far-carrying cries that increase in intensity. They then displayed and bobbed their yellow-and-iridescent-green heads for attention, spreading their feathers wide and hopped about madly, singing a one-note tune. The birds then lowered their heads, continuing to display their billowing golden white plumage rising above their rust-red wings. A less dazzling female flew in and moved around between the males critically choosing one, mated, then flew off. I was privileged to have used a researcher study blind and see one of the most unique group of birds in the world endemic to Papua New Guinea and its nearby islands. Lesser bird of paradise lek near Mt Kaindi near Wau Ecology Institute Birds of paradise are in the crow family, with intelligent crow behavior, and with amazingly complex sexual mate behavior.

How many of the world’s 100 tallest mountains can we climb as one Trust community? During these challenging times it’s important that we all look after our mental wellbeing and walking is a great way to do this, alongside also improving our physical health. We are going to use this challenge to fundraise for the mental health charity MIND. We’re encouraging children to walk locally with their parents (within the restrictions of Please follow this link to our Just Giving page. lockdown) and measure how far they walk.

  • William S. Sax
    WILLIAM S. SAX The Royal Pilgrimage of the Goddess Nanda Introduction: the goddess and her pilgrimage Once every twelve years, when it is thought that some calamity has taken place because of the curse of the goddess Nanda Devi, a four-horned ram is born in the fields of the former king of Garhwal, an erstwhile Central Himalayan kingdom in north India (see map of Garhwal). This four-horned ram leads a procession of priests and pilgrims on the most dangerous and spectacular pilgrimage in all of India: a three-week, barefoot journey of one-hundred and sixty-four miles, during some of the worst weather of the year, at the end of the rainy season. The procession reaches Rupkund, a small pond located at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, which is surrounded by human skeletons, and from there it goes yet further, to Homkund, the ‘Lake of the Fire Sacrifice’. According to the faithful, the four-horned ram leaves the procession at that point and finds its way, unaided, to the summit of Mount Trishul. As its name suggests, the Royal Procession is closely associated with the ruler of this erstwhile Himalayan kingdom: he attends its inaugural rituals, the bones that litter the shores of Rupkund are believed to be those of one of his ancestors, and the chief sponsor of the event is a local ‘Prince’ who is thought to be descended from the first kings of Garhwal. This Prince traverses the domain of his ancestors and thereby lays claim to it in the name of the goddess Nanda, who is not only his lineage goddess but was also the royal goddess of the neighbouring kingdom of Kumaon, in pre-colonial times.

It was yet another exciting Annual Seminar held at the Air India Auditorium, Nariman Point Mumbai. The seminar was kicked off on 6 February 03 – with the Kaivan Mistry Memorial Lecture by Pat Morrow on his ‘Quest for the Seven and a Half Summits’. As another first the seminar was an Audio Visual Presentation without Pat! The bureaucratic tangles had sent Pat back from the immigration counter of New Delhi Immigration authorities for reasons best known to them ! The well documented AV presentation made Pat come alive in the auditorium ! Pat is a Canadian photographer and mountain climber who was the first person in the world to climb the highest peaks of seven Continents: McKinley in North America, Aconcagua in South America, Everest in Asia, Elbrus in Europe, Kilimanjaro in Africa, Vinson Massif in Antarctica, and Puncak Jaya in Indonesia. This hour- long presentation described how Pat found the resources to help him reach and climb these peaks. Through over an hour that went past like a flash he took the audience through these summits and how he climbed them in different parts of the world.
