Initially, when the people started residing in the Himalayas, they could not have imagined that their valleys and mountains would become critical to the rest of the world within the next millennia. The heritage of the region is diverse, so are the issues relating to it. Several conferences, seminars and workshops are conducted world over by the Himalayan enthusiasts each focusing on various interdisciplinary and independent themes. Regular festivals and many other socio-cultural events are also organised celebrating the Himalayan way of life and showcasing the tradition of the region. Participation is not limited to the people of the region backgrounds of the participants are as diverse as the cultural macrocosm of the Himalayas.
