The theme for this year’s gathering involves globalization, climate change and other emerging forces that are creating new challenges and dilemmas, as well as opportunities, for the Himalayan regions. Organizers say the 2012 India Summit will bring together stake holders, researchers, policy makers, development practitioners and adventure and tourism professionals from the Himalayan regions and around the world for an encompassing update, stock-taking, and new agenda setting.
