I am an environmental journalist and writer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. I write about the Himalayas on behalf of the mountains I gaze upon and the paths I dare to walk. I drink from the aquifers they create, breathe with the support of the trees they hold, and live among the stones they stand upon. I am here because they are here. I am forever grateful to these “water towers” of the world, which support nearly one-fifth of humanity, run the planet’s largest rivers, and host its richest biodiversity.
