This review presents a summary of aromatic medicinal plants from the Indian Himalaya, Nepal, and Bhutan, focusing on plant species for which volatile compositions have been described. The review summarizes 116 aromatic plant species distributed over 26 families. Keywords: Jammu and Kashmir; Himachal Pradesh; Uttarakhand; Nepal; Sikkim; Bhutan; essential oils 1. Introduction The Himalya Center of Plant Diversity [1] is a narrow band of biodiversity lying on the southern margin of the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain range with elevations exceeding 8000 m. The plant diversity of this region is defined by the monsoonal rains, up to 10,000 mm rainfall, concentrated in the summer, altitudinal zonation, consisting of tropical lowland rainforests, 100–1200 m asl, up to alpine meadows, 4800–5500 m asl. Hara and co-workers have estimated there to be around 6000 species of higher plants in Nepal, including 303 species endemic to Nepal and 1957 species restricted to the Himalayan range [2–4].

  • Executive Summary Revision: R1
    Project : Environmental Studies for Vishnugad – Pipalkoti Hydro-electric Project Page: i Document : 2008026/EC Date: Sep 2009 Archaeological Survey Report/ Executive Summary Revision: R1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The Vishnugad Pipalkoti Hydroelectric Project (VPHEP) is a run-of-the river hydro power project proposed on River Alaknanda in district Chamoli in Uttarakhand. Archaeologically and culturally, the entire area from the foothills to the higher Himalayan mountain upto the source of Alaknanda is considered as the land highly sacrosanct. Moreover, because of its religious significance due to the great Himalayan shrines, it has remained culturally and historically inseparable from the rest of India The archaeological researches in India since independence have brought forth a rich data of our cultural heritage. The extensive explorations and assiduous excavations undertaken throughout the country have succeeded in unearthing a plethora of new evidences. In the same way, regional studies in archaeology have also contributed in discovering India’s past in no lesser terms. However, the region of the Garhwal- Himalaya has comparatively been less studied. Pre-History: The prehistory past of the Garhwal-Himalaya is not known with certainty. The reasons are two fold, firstly, topographically it was a most difficult region and secondly, the extreme climatic cycles made it more inhospitable for the early man. Further more, the recurrence of the tectonic fluctuations resulting physiographic changes along with frequent landslides all around in the valleys and mountains disturbed the entire sequence everywhere an obliterated totally all evidence of the past. Paleolithic Tools: Exploration for Stone Age artifacts were conducted at Srinagar and Dang in the Alaknanda Valley as for back as 1977, when a few flacks resembling the pebble tools were picked up from terrace 1(at village Dang).

  • Field Centres
    AVANI Kumaon FIELD CENTRES PO Tripuradevi via Berinag District Pithoragarh Kumaon 262531 Uttarakhand, India www.AVANI-kumaon.org last updated: 08/2011 INTRODUCTION AVANI - FOR A BETTER EARTH AVANI is a voluntary organization working in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, located in the middle ranges of the Central Himalayan region and exists since 1997 and is since 1999 formally reg- istered as AVANI. The goal of the organisation is to make appropriate technologies available and create livelihoods in the small and remote villages in one of the highest mountain ranges of the world. In the past years, AVANI has been able to build 4 field centres around the AVANI Campus in Tripu- radevi (see map on front page). Around these centres, AVANI can promote and coordinate its sev- eral initiatives like rain water harvesting, solar technology, biogas, women’s self help groups (SHG), community health programs, adult education, child education, textile or sericulture. After the construction of a new centre, AVANI staff members are in charge of the facilities and try to motivate people to work for AVANI and promote for example the institution of SHG or initiate health programs. The long-term goal is always, that a villager can be found who is motivated to run the centre. If the centre is self-sustaining, AVANI staff members can concentrate on other villages to initiate the construction of new field centres. The field centres are of great importance for the Kumaon Earthcraft Self-Reliant Cooperative. This is the self-governing “AVANI Textile Business”. In every field centre, there are several looms in- stalled and people come there for weaving.
