Himal

Edited and published by Kanak Mani Dixit from May 1987 onwards, Himal was an English language monthly on the Himalayas with a particular focus on development and the environment. While this important magazine eventually grew into Himal South Asian, which maintains its own extensive online archives, back issues of Himal were increasingly hard to come by. The Digital Himalaya project continues to work collaboratively with staff at the Himal Association in Kathmandu to scan and digitise back issues of this journal.
