The Himalayan Region

‘Himalayas’ is the adobe of the snow, where each fresh peak ascended, teaches something. The Himalayas are the silent speakers, who will take you on an altogether parallel adventure of life’s journey, a journey where you will feel the most alive. 

As evidenced by their literature, mythologies, and religions, the Himalayas have held a profound significance for the peoples of South Asia for thousands of years. The vast glaciated heights have enchanted pilgrims from ancient times, leading to its Sanskrit name: Himalaya, from Hima (“snow”) and Alaya (“abode”). India, Nepal, and Bhutan control the majority of the Himalayas, Pakistan and China also claim territory in the region of these mountain ranges. 

In Indian culture, it is revered not only for being heaven in exciting winters and treasure trunk for rare medicinal herbs but as a place where the Gods reside. So, the Himalayas are known as Devatma, which means “God-souled.” Since the beginning of time, the Himalayas have attracted sages, yogis, artists, and philosophers. The mountain range is said to hold divine inspiration and is a popular destination for divinity and spiritual elevation.

However, the people who live in these Himalayan regions face numerous issues that no one in the metro cities is concerned about. The youth are currently dissatisfied because they are unable to find suitable job opportunities, educational hubs, or exposure here. So, they’ve begun to migrate to densely populated cities.
