Abstract
There has been limited research on the cultural context in the Himalayan region of Nepal with true anthropological significance and very few based on environment and people. Himalayan region of Nepal was a forbidden land and was left untouched for political and geographical reason before 1950’s. Sudden change in climatic pattern has threatened the livelihood of the rural poor. Clear indications of these impacts can be seen on Himalayan glaciers, which are melting rapidly. Understanding its impact on culture and people of our time and responding successfully to them will be a major test for mankind and civilization. This research is an effort with the role of activist, witness, advocate, and a medium to contribute to the societies of Himalayan region and elsewhere.
