ECOTOURISM
has been officially promoted already for years in this area,for pilgrimages to the Badrinath temple or Hemkund Sahib,for trekkings and any other outdoor activities...Pollution is now a main concern in many other parts of Himalaya,
around the Mt. Everest in the first line.
What do we do concrete about this?
With Adventure Trekking one porter goes on the treks to look after the dirt,
to clean and bring it down, and this works... You can see it!
Adventure Trekking has also begun a cleaning program in & around the local villages of the Nanda Devi National Park, with the agreement of the Uttaranchal Forest Department.
In the past, one of the great initiative to promote eco-tourism has been the creation of the
NANDA DEVI BIOSPHERE RESERVE (NDBR)
The main objective of the Nanda Devi Biosphere concept is to ensure
the conservation of landscape, ecosystem, species and genetic variations.
Encouragement to the traditional resource systems and understanding
the pattern and functioning of ecosystems are also the main conserving objects of this concept.
The NDBR was the first one to be created in Himalaya's in 1988 by the UNESCO.
Adventure Trekking proposes you to contribute
to preserve Garhwal Himalayas
as unspoiled as it has always been!
ECOTOERISME
wordt al jaren gewenst in dit gebied, for pilgrimages to Badrinath temple or Hemkund Saheb,
trekkings to the lakes Hemkund, Satopan or Kakbhushundi, to the glaciers Milam, Pinder, Kafani and Sunderdunga, for climbing to the peaks Dronagiri, Changbang, Neelkant, Kamet, or Ratban... Allerlei organisaties zeggen, dat zij er wat aan doen en de klant betaald veelal daarvoor. Helaas staat het op papier en gebeurd het niet of nauwelijks.
Wat doen wij?
Bij onze tochten gaat daadwerkelijk altijd een drager mee, wiens eerste taak is het gebied op te ruimen, heel simpel, maar doeltreffend! Vuil en afval heeft op deze hoogten een dramaties effect op de zeer kwetsbare natuur,slecht enkele maanden per jaar komt het onder de sneeuw vandaan, dus natuurlijke afbraak is vrij minimaal.
Door op onze wijze te werken heeft een trekking met ons een verbeterend effect in plaats van alleen maar consumeren van de omgeving en de rotzooi achterlaten.

The NANDADEVI SECOND HIGHEST PEAK OF INDIAN HIMALAYAS ! :
Nanda Devi is the second highest mountain in India, Nandadevi is highest entirely within the country.Nandadevi National Park the most spectacular wilderness areas in the Indian Himalayas. It is dominated by the 7800m peak of Nanda Devi. (Kangchenjunga, on the border of India and Nepal Himalayas
OverviewNanda Devi in the highest peak in the Indian Garhwal Himalaya. The mountain has two summits, the main summit at 7816m (25,643ft) and Nanda Devi East at 7434m (24,389ft). The mountain itself in surrounded by a number of peaks over 21,000ft, making it an extremely difficult mountain to access. This circle of peaks forms what is known as the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. The first successful ascent of the main summit was by Tilman and Odell in 1936 via the south ridge. With the successful ascent, Nanda Devi became the highest mountain climbed by man until 1950 when Annapurna was climbed. In 1976, Americans James States, Lou Reichardt and John Roskelley climbed the main summit by a new route, the North Ridge. This expedition ended in tragedy when Nanda Devi Unsoeld (Willie Unsoeld's daughter who was named after the mountain) died near the main summit. A fantastic account of this expedition can be read in the book by John Roskelley, "Nanda Devi, the Tragic Expedition". In the mid 1960's, it is reported that the CIA during an expedition put a monitoring device on the main summit to monitor nuclear activity in Tibet/China. It was supposedly lost in an avalance. The mountain was closed by the government shortly after and then re-opened in 1974. In 1983 the area was closed for environmental reasons. The mountain remains closed to this day. There are very few ascents of this beautiful mountain, and in time we may see the Sanctuary reopen and new attemps being made |
