The Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana) is a marmot species that inhabits alpine grasslands throughout the Himalayas and on the Tibetan Plateau.
These medium-sized caprids are 115 to 165 cm (45 to 65 in) long along the head-and-body, with a tail of 10 to 20 cm (3.9 to 7.9 in). They stand 69 to 91 cm (27 to 36 in) high at the shoulder. Body mass can range from 35 to 75 kg (77 to 165 lb). Males are slightly larger than females. Dense coat is slate grey in colour, sometimes with a bluish sheen. The underparts and backs of the legs are white, while the chest and fronts of the legs are black. Separating the grey back and white belly is a charcoal-colored stripe.

The Himalayas are the highest mountain chain in the world and its
great height and complex geologic structure has a history that is most
amazing.
They were formed about 55 million years ago as a result of
plate-tectonic forces ( leakage of magma from the core of the earth
and its build up that makes land masses move) when the current
landmass of India moved from well below the south of the equator and
collided with the Eurasian land mass and the impact led to the
formation of these massive structures as the India plate got subsumed
under the Eurasian plate near the impact zone
The Himalayas are not merely a geographical feature, a range of
mountains; they epitomize a
people’s civilisational identity that goes back to the dawn of
history. For the whole of India and its Hindu ethos the mountains are
what is life for they provide the glacial melt and water that decide
the weather and climate of the whole land mass. All Gods reside in the
Himalayas and it is there that a Hindu must go to meet the maker.
In fact new theories suggest that the event 55 million years ago may
have also set the global climate change into motion.
Global climate began to cool around 55 million years ago, and
scientists theorize that this may have been driven by weathering
reactions in the Himalaya that removed carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere, decreasing the greenhouse effect and cooling Earth.
Now we are seeing a change at the other extreme with global warming
taking place thanks mainly to the years of sustained pollution coming
in from the developed countries and fresh accreations from the
developing ones. When Africa starts contributing to it then I guess
the birth of Himalayas may get its negation.
In this shot a river is born in the Himalayas.

Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies in China. The lake is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide at its broadest point. All together it covers 604 km2. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. It is not a part of Indus river basin area and geographically a separate land locked river basin.[3]
The lake is in the process of being identified under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance.

RITRATTO DI BAMBINO RIFUGIATO TIBETANO IN LADAKH
PORTRAIT OF A TIBETAN REFUGEE CHILD IN LADAKH
Nel 2009 ho intrapreso uno (straordinario, per me) viaggio in Ladakh. Luogo di una magia e di una durezza al contempo assolutamente uniche, che mi ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile.
Tra i molti volti che non riuscirei a dimenticare neppure volendo, c'è quello, lievemente malinconico, di questo bambino, che ho fotografato in occasione della mia visita alla Scuola elementare per bambini rifugiati tibetani a Sumdho. Molti sono i rifugiati tibetani in Ladakh, regione himalayana buddhista sotto amministrazione indiana estremamente affine al Tibet sotto l'aspetto culturale, tanto da essere chiamato "Piccolo Tibet". I bambini che studiano in questa scuola elementare sono, dal punto di vista delle loro famiglie, dei privilegiati: forse non vedranno spesso i loro familiari, risiedendo presso la scuola, ma si presume che sia loro garantita una scodella di orzo su base quotidiana. Vita e sopravvivenza insieme. E in condizioni climatiche inimmaginabili: a questo proposito, basti guardare l'epidermide del viso, tipicamente bruciata dall'alternanza caldo-gelo dei 4.500m di quota. Ci sono 30 gradi (minimo) di escursione termica giornaliera in estate e buoni 60 gradi di escursione termica tra estate e inverno, per intenderci.
Non intendo minimamente fare qui politica, ma concentrarmi sullo sguardo antico in questi occhi, come credo sia giusto. La mia attenzione era ed è per l'essere umano innanzitutto.
Per chiunque fosse interessato a fornire un aiuto concreto al Ladakh e ai suoi abitanti, in particolare nell'area dello Zanskar, dove la cultura tibetana si è miracolosamente preservata, consiglio di rivolgersi a questa associazione, di cui per esperienza diretta posso garantire l'assoluta serietà:
Si occupa da decenni di garantire l'istruzione a centinaia di bambini in una scuola modello nella Valle dello Zanskar, assicurando l'insegnamento della cultura locale in lingua locale e avvalendosi esclusivamente di personale (docente e non docente) del posto. Il tutto in piena trasparenza.
Commento musicale: Leh Ladakhi Folk Songs
Con questo link vi concederete un'immersione (di circa 45 minuti) nella musica ladhaka, con tanto di panorami, villaggi, templi, abitazioni, costumi e pratiche locali. Praticamente un film.
Per chi non avesse un'anima musicalmente così etnica, ecco un link musicale a tema, ma decisamente occidentale:

I just returned from 18 days, 3500 Km "Bike Ride to Ladhak and Kashmir"
It is me in the Picture.
Pangong Lake in the Background. Pangong Tso Lake is amongst the highest altitude lakes in the world. It is located at an altitude of 14272 ft or 4350 m.
Though I did not carry my DSLR, I have a few pics from my iPhone and Insta 360 action camera.
Located 150 kilometers North of Leh, Hunder, sitting at an average altitude of 10, 000 feet, is a small village where the Shyok River meets Nubra River. Hunder lies on the ancient silk route, once an important international trade route. Today it is one of the most strategic points located close as it is to the Siachen Glacier, the world highest battle ground between India and Pakistan.
