Flood Disaster and its Preparedness in Assam, a Northeast India
Being a part of eastern Himalayan ranges falls in the world’s wettest monsoon belt, this northeast part of India has always enjoyed the blessing of huge potentiality of water resources. As concerning the average annual potentiality of water in the Brahmaputra’s river basin and estimation of monsoon run off, it has always endowed with tremendous potentiality of water resources in the country. The eight percent of spatial dimension of this Northeast part has endowed the ability of hydropower potentiality of about 59000 MW which implies about 40% of the country’s total hydro power potential. Only 2% that is 1100 MW has been harnessed so far in this part and it has increased for tapping up to 4029 MW which is only 7% of the total hydro-potential in the region. Harnessing of river waters in the different fields like multipurpose hydropoject, irrigation, cultivation, geo-tourism, geo-park scientifically have come more important to reduce the flood havoc in the entire state of Assam, a northeast India.
The Brahmaputra is the fourth biggest river in the world in terms of annual discharge rate of about 19,830 cubic meter per second as its mouth and its catchments area is about 5, 80,000 sq.km located in the eastern Himalayan ranges and its neighbors that has occupied the area belonging to the four countries in percentage i.e. Tibetan Plateau of China (50.52%), India (33.62%), Bhutan (7.76%) and Bangladesh (8.10%). High order drainages of about 52 numbers of tributaries feed the Brahmaputra in the downstream side making it constant viable water resources in the region. Of these, the major 19 tributaries lie in the north bank while 12 others significant tributaries are in the south bank of the mighty river. In general, all total 15 numbers of principal tributaries lies in the Indian Territory. It may be worth mentioned that the Dihang (Siang), i.e. Tsangpo in the upper reaches and Subansiri contributes 37.40% and 10.66% surface run off to the Brahmaputra respectively. Moreover, the other two important tributories like Dibang (sikang) and Lohit contibutes around 7.65% and 9.50% surface runoff to the mighty river. Other tributaries such as Manas contributes water annually 6.75% (38,000 million cubic meters), Sonkosh contributes 3.18% (18,000 million cubic meters) and Burhidihing 2.65% (15,000 million cubic meters) annually to the Brahmaputra basin. Moreover, other important rivers are like Kopili, Jiabharali, Dudhnoi, Krishnai, Pagladia, Beki etc.
It has been seen that different major tributaries of Brahmaputra river such as Dihang, Subansiri, Dibang, Luit, Manas etc. and the significant tributaries and sub tributaries like Jiadhol, Ranganadi, Gai nadi, Simen Nadi, Burhidihing, Kopili, Dudhnoi, Krishnai, Bolbola, Beki, Pagladia are associated with Brahmaputra Valley that have always been causing a periodic flood havoc in the monsoon seasons. In this consequence, watershed prioritization and mamangement of each and every river’s have come most important for mitigation of flood hazards in their downstream areas. The scientific hydrological approach is to bring the tributaries under control so that their water level comes down the danger level during the monsoon period. This huge task seems to be very challenging keeping view in volume of runoff and topographical characteristics. The four tributaries viz Dihang, Dibang,Luit and Subansiri have contributed around 65 percent of water volume to the Basin of mighty Brahmaputra river. The hydrological data of three rivers like Dibang, Subansiri and Luit may be available or may be acquired due to their major catchment area falls in India but there would be required more hydrological data from the Tibetan China as concern to the management of Dihang or Tsangpo River in that part. This is true that Dihang cannot be managed easily due to its large size of hydrological characteristics and there is need to set up a common scientific platform consisting of China and India to manage the Tsangpo along the course. From the satellite images it can be visualized that China’s development activities in the banks of Tsangpo is also going on rapidly and recently they have set up a Air Base with a length of 5 kms and breadh of 1 kms located in the south banks of Tsangpo River near the south of Lhasa. This Air Base has well connected through a bridge with length of about 11 kms which connected to its northern banks and its terrain and another Lhasa river including a 2.5 kms trunnel inside the terrain at 3600 m from the mean sea level.
It is also true that if theses four tributaries come under control than it will be a great help to mitigate the flood hazards in the downstream areas particularly to the upper Assam region. The management of these major rivers including Jiabharali and Burhidihing by collective means of methodologies like aforestation, watershed prioritization, irrigation project, fishing cultivation, ground water recharges, linking of rivers, setting geo-tourism spots at vulnerable location where embankment breached, water way communication, open inundation in the low lying area, multipurpose hydro power projects etc would be very fruitful measures in the long term for minimizing and prevention of flood havoc in the Districts of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Sibsagar, and Sunitpur.
The periodic flood havoc is one of the main reasons for which it has always interrupted in increasing trend of per capita income in the state. The state has to lose huge quantity of cultivation on lakhs of hectares of land apart from river bank erosion has been taken place in hundreds of hectares of land. Brahmaputra is the second largest river in terms of load deposition after the yellow river of China where the weathering and Brahmaputra’s bank erosions rate are tremendously increasing due to various factors of geological and technological reasons which will lead to large deposition of siltataion in the river bed. As a result discharge capacities of rivers have come down due to sedimentation on the river bed. On the other hand, the Brahmaputra river system is associated with the higher altitude of eastern Himalayan region resulting maximum weathering leads to huge erosion that has been taken place in the upper reaches. Of course, many non stable islands created during the high flood time in the Brahmaputra River, but erosion causes major concern to the heritage land of Majuli besides posing threat to the Dibrugarh, Tezpur town apart from severe erosion at Koliabor, Morigaon, Palashbari, Dhuburi etc.etc.
Failure of embankments at different places have caused major destruction to thousands of thousands villages along with affecting lakhs of lakhs of peoples. Districts of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, sonitpur, Nagoan, Morigaon, Nalbari, Barpeta are the worst affected region due to failure of embankments. In general, embankments are constructed for temporary protection of villages near the banks of the rivers. In fact, flash flood created due to failure of embankments because of various reasons such as age of embankments placed on the on the recent alluvium, quality of embankments, position and alignment of embankments respective to the truncation of rivers, lack of protection of embankments by the dykes, earth dams, spurs, porcupines where it might have been placed in perpendicular directions of rivers to resist the water pressure etc etc. In Assam embankments failed because of above factors along with shallow depth of the rivers due to silt deposition on the river bed that have decreased the capacity of water discharges of various tributaries. The floods in the Sunitpur, Lakhimpur and Dhemaji district are due to low carrying capacity of water by the river because of deposition of huge siltation on the river bed and tend to flows many directions. These rivers are Jiabharali, Jiadhol, Siemens, Gai, Ranganadi etc. From the preliminary study of high resolution of satellite imagery, it has found that the river systems within the districts of Sonitpur, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Sibsagar,Jorhat, have been shifted several times in the recent geological past along with the mighty Brahmaputra. From the road section of Jonai to Lakhimpur, it is found that about 15 nos of significant rivers comes down abruptly from the foothills of Arunachal Pradesh to the Brahmautra and Subansiri in the Dhemaji and Lakhimpur districts. Cultural heritage land the Majuli is also controlled by the Subansiri, Dhansiri and Brahputra River. From the preliminary study of space technology it may be assumed that biggest river Island Majuli was borne after shifting of Brahmaputra River to the southern part in the Jorhat district alongwith the shifting of Subansiririver to ward western part in the Lakhimpur District. In these two districts the shifting of river had occurred in the recent geological past. It has also been found that the catchment area of rivers like Jiadhaol, Gai, Simen are not so large in comparing with the catchment of Subansiri and Ranganadi. The Jiadhol catchment is below the Subansiri catchment and its shape and size of the Catchment is a type of lenticular in nature and water comes down heavily and needs watershed prioritization to minimize the flood havoc in the Dhemaji area. Watershed prioritization prevents erosion and help to reduce damaging run off besides the increasing rate of infiltration to the ground water tables.
This is true that Assam is flood prone state in the world due to its around 40.15% land area are flood prone because of structural set up and around 4.85 % of land eroded along with 4056 kms of length of embankments and all total 176 rivers (48 high order and 128 low order drainages) besides 150 places are sensitive to breach embankments. Due to the complex geological and physiographical set up with the belt of ecologically wettest monsoon the Assam is always a flood prone states. Besides it, there are the major concerns for the issues like global warming phenomena, type of proposed hydro power projects and degradation of vegetation in the upper catchment area which would be the caused for accelerating the flood havoc in the forthcoming years.
The flood disaster management in the long term measures would definitely cover the ongoing multipurpose hydro power projects in the Arunachal Pradesh but should be provision of flood cushion which will definitely help to mitigate the flood and to reduce the risk hazards in the Brahmaputra valley. At the same time, there are also to be thinking that the upstream hydro power plant would be set up in the area of high seismic activity where many of past seismic epicenters are in the Arunachal Pradesh. Height of the Gravity Dam is also a major concern because more height of dam would more generate the power and more capacity of reservoir. But from the various factors such as huge siltation, abnormal behavior of climates & rainfalls due to global warming, lack of availability of hydrological data of Tibetan plateau, eastern Himalayan tertiary rocks, height of the altitude, high seismic prone zone, present river’s discharge capacity, socio economic conditions along the downstream, lack of infrastructure and facilities, lack of disaster preparedness plan, type of proposed Dam , at present ,it is better to keep the Dam height low for the benefit of the people of this region and reducing the risk flood hazard mitigation.
Flood disaster preparedness is purely a scientific phenomenon which basically deals with pre disaster mapping and its scenario for probable flood hazards mitigation with the help of different thematic integration like rainfall estimation, digital elevation models, catchment’s hydrological statistics, periodic flood zoning, population distributions, type of socio economic conditions, social and physical infrastructures, dam break assessment, geo-environmental components apart from capacity and type of resources. In the recent trend of flood disaster preparedness the first and foremost parameters of flood disasters evaluation is a Doppler radar phenomenon .National Weather Service of USA can provide accurate warning system with the help of relevant images acquired from Doppler radars of more than 150 sites.
The centre has come up for setting up 55 doppler radar across the country which is a big achievement in the Indian sub continents. But there is need for installing sufficient numbers of Doppler radar in the entire northeastern regions for the output of images includes reflectivity, velocity and rainfall information. Doppler radar can help to find out the precipitation amount and its dimension which are desperately required in the entire catchment of Brahmautra valley in a network manner for its calibration of accurate result.
Another recent trend of Flood disaster preparedness is the meterological satellites centres of NOAA or INSAT series which can simulate for forecasting of weather and climates in the specific areas. The warning and communication systems will be upgraded if the above technology can be utilized and thereafter peoples of downstream areas can be alerted through Radio, TV and regular bulletins.
Selection of sites and its numbers are important in the installing the Doppler radar to forecast the rainfall in the different catchment and thereafter simulation of result for forecasting of floods in the various downstream areas. This technology should have been used by the NHPC and NEEPCO in their respective catchment areas to manage the runoff and to control flow of rivers respective to the reservoir statistics so that it would not be damaged maximum to the downstream area. There is need to develop communication devices between the state Government and the Hydro Power Company like NEEPCO for the benefit of the downstream people. The hydro project named Ranganadi , a run-of-the-river scheme and involves construction of a 60 m high concrete gravity diversion dam for conveying water through a 10 km long tunnel with 6.8 m diameter to generate 405 MW (3 x 135 MW) of power. It has been proved that the Ranganadi, run of river project having interred transfer basin to Dikrong which releasing water through 6 spillway gate consisting 120 sq m of each gate cannot minimize the flood hazards in the downstream area and has influenced more flood havoc in the lower reaches of Lakhimpur District. Released of water from Umrong and Khondon reservoir of NEEPCO had also created flood havoc in the Nowgaon and Morigaon District in the 2004. The proposed dam with highest produce of 3000 MW of Dibang Project is an also serious concern for the Dibrugarh District due to its physiographic pattern of Dibrugarh and Sibsagar District. Dam break failure and its assessment might have been done before going to complete this project by the NHPC. Inter transfer of river basin option may have been also a good concept for managing the river in the Brahmaputra valley but requires update river database with the help of recent technology.
The State Disaster Management Authority headed by chief Minister of Assam was formed recently under the guidelines of National Disaster management Authority headed by the Prime Minister of India. The Revenue and Disaster Management Department of Assam has taken lot of innovative measures for preventing the flood disasters and has recently stressed scientific inputs for evaluation of disaster preparedness plan for mitigating flood hazards

The hydro project named Ranganadi , a run-of-the-river scheme and involves construction of a 60 m high concrete gravity diversion dam for conveying water through a 10 km long tunnel with 6.8 m diameter to generate 405 MW (3 x 135 MW) of power. It has been proved that the Ranganadi, run of river project having interred transfer basin to Dikrong which releasing water through 6 spillway gate consisting 120 sq m of each gate cannot minimize the flood hazards in the downstream area and has influenced more flood havoc in the lower reaches of Lakhimpur District. Released of water from Umrong and Khondon reservoir of NEEPCO had also created flood havoc in the Nowgaon and Morigaon District in the 2004. The proposed dam with highest produce of 3000 MW of Dibang Project is an also serious concern for the Dibrugarh District due to its physiographic pattern of Dibrugarh and Sibsagar District. Dam break failure and its assessment might have been done before going to complete this project by the NHPC. Inter transfer of river basin option may have been also a good concept for managing the river in the Brahmaputra valley but requires update river database with the help of recent technology.
The State Disaster Management Authority headed by chief Minister of Assam was formed recently under the guidelines of National Disaster management Authority headed by the Prime Minister of India. The Revenue and Disaster Management Department of Assam has taken lot of innovative measures for preventing the flood disasters and has recently stressed scientific inputs for evaluation of disaster preparedness plan for mitigating flood hazards

Salt Lamps - Natures Beautiful Gift to Us
The Himalayas are one of the worlds last undisturbed treasures, maily due to their remoteness and extremely harsh climate. They are also one of the most un-polluted areas of our planet and are rich in pure mineral salt deposits. Millions of years ago, as massive climactic changes took place, these changes combined with geological forces to create salt crystal rocks of unparalleled purity deep below the Himalayas. It is from these deep underground mines that Himalayan rock salt is now extracted in a very traditional and eco-friendly manner.
Only the highest quality salt crystals are suitable to be made into lamps. When mining the salt crystals, explosives are strictly prohibited to preserve the structures of the crystals. Lamps are then carefully crafted by hand to retain the unique, beautiful, and natural shape of the rock. The result is a rare crystal with beautiful colors ranging from off-white to apricot and warm pink. The warm glow of the lamp beautifies any room in the house or office. As the lit bulb or a tea light warms up the lamp, healthful negative ions lift off from the surface and help to cleanse and improve the quality and freshness of the air you breathe.
Salt Crystal Lamps are ideally suited for daily use in both the house and work place. The lamp will minimize the effects of the electro-magnetic radiation that bombards us daily from things like microwave ovens, tv's, mobile phones and the whole array of electronic gadgets that most of us possess. They beautify the surroundings of your work area, improve your concentration and refreshe you by neutralizing the effects of an artificial environment. While most ionizers on the market are man made machines, the Salt Crystal Lamp is a beautiful alternative of Mother Nature, silent and ozone free.

Kinds of Soapnuts
There are two major kinds of Soapnuts which are mostly used in washing, bathing, cleaning and shampoo found in south Asian countries. The big Soapnuts known as sapindus mukorossi and the small one Soapnuts, known as sapindus Trifoliatus. Mostly people called Sapindus Trifoliatus to big one Soapnuts wrongly. A picture is given here where you can see the difference between two kinds of Soapnuts.
The name sapindus speaks for itself and reveal the Soapnuts main characteristic. It contains saponins which have the ability to clean and wash. The fruit of the soapnut tree produces saponins in order to repel varmints, fungus and bacteria. Approximately 15% of the Soapnut’s shell consists of highly concentrated saponins (= 10% of the whole soapnut). The seed/stone of the Soapnuts have not any saponins therefore it is best to separate stones/seeds from the shells for best performance of washings and cleanings. As result of experiment saponins have got excellent cleaning capabilities. It removes dirt of all sorts from cloths, glasses, floors, gold, windows and others – not only highly effective but also gentle and Eco-friendly. Because of its mildness, it preserves the colours and structure of valuable cloths longer than normal detergent or soaps of any brand.
Be aware about quality!
There are more than 10 different shell types. You can see hewre in picture above, Extreme left good Mukorossi. Centre, lower quality generally known as South Indian Soapnuts, whilst on the right are smaller darker shells that he believes comes from Burma (Myanmar). Less than 50% are good quality. This is the common practice for certain suppliers to mix them to save on costs! Thats why few suppliers offers low prices and offered sapindus mukorrosi, but they mix other lower quality of shells and cheaper soapnut shells with sapindus mukorossi (Himalayan Soapnuts).
Now this is not only going to cost you money. How are you going to get any consistency when one bag of shells could be much weaker than another? You may use more than necessary or, somewhat tragically, decide that the product, whilst highly interesting, does not guarantee the sort of consistent performance that you rightly expect.
Then You may loose your money and could not get performance as well as was in your mind. Be sure that your purchesed Soapnut shells are 100% pure sapindus mukorossi without mixing.
The difference:
As we discussed already about two kinds of Soapnuts; Himalayan Soapnuts "sapindus mukorossi" are soft, a little bit sticky and wet naturally. While Sapindus Trifoliatus are hard, dried and small in the size. The Himalayan Soapnuts "sapindus mukorossi" normally used for wash and cleaning, because of more quantity of saponin and Sapindus Trifoliatus are used for medicinal and herbal purpose. Also there are two kinds of sapindus mukrossi found in India or south Asian countries: One from them grows trees of Himalayan range and other one grows away from Himalayan range. They are likely same in their physically appearance, colour and size, but with a little differences. Himalayan sapindus mukrossi are more soft, more sticky, more wet than other type of sapindus mukorossi. There are few pictures of experiments of both kind of sapindus mukorossi. We can see clear difference between these two. The difference between 2 kinds of shells The above using some liquid from "Hard" shells The above using liquid from Himalayan "Soft" shells !!Below are pictures of bags of shells AFTER one wash.Stored in a bottle of water ready for the next use.The extra amount of released "soap" is plain to see!

Beware of Summer Heat, a Lurking Health Hazard
Did you know that between 350 - 400 people die each year from Heat Stroke? In especially hot years that number has risen over to 1700 deaths according to the National Center for Health Statistics!Especially vulnerable are active people (adults and children), and even more for those who regularly consume alcohol.What to watch for: lethargy, depression, dizziness, weakness, feeling faint, passing out suddenly without obvious cause, headaches from mild to severe, a general malaise or overall body pain accompanied with mild to severe fatigue that doesn't seem to go away.Do these symptoms describe you or anyone you know during hot weather months?For such a complex array of symptoms, the solution is amazingly simple: Salt and plenty of water.Salt? Yes, salt.The body requires sodium to help maintain the proper levels of hydration in your body. Keeping your body hydrated is critical to your well-being, which is why the body sends such nagging and painful warnings when it is dehydrated.Did you know that our body's composition is almost exactly the same as seawater? What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the ocean?Most likely, it is salt and water!The FDA recommends 3 grams of salt per day as a minimum. However, the medical establishment says to stay away from too much salt. There is a long list of health problems that arise from too much salt, so how can it be possible that we need MORE salt?First, we must understand where these medical warnings about salt intake come from. In our society of fast-food and pre-packaged meals, the salt used to season and preserve the food is industrial sodium chloride. Sodium chloride by itself is a harmful chemical, but it is what you will find in most salt shakers across America. Salt in its natural state contains beneficial minerals. However, since most salt is mined for industrial purposes and requires no minerals for that use, the salt producers sell off the remaining salt as sodium chloride.There are some brave souls who have marched away from convention and have switched to using sea salt in their food.Sea Salt is a vast improvement over pure sodium chloride, with many minerals still intact. However, due to vast pollution in our oceans, the most pure and best source of salt is mined from the ancient salt deposits.Himalayan Salt is perhaps the finest selection of mineral salt in the world due to the high altitude of the Himalayans, which protects the water source feeding the great mineral salt beds.Let's look at the effect of massive doses of Himalayan salt on human health.For hundreds of years, the indigenous people of the Himalayans have been widely recognized as the longest living people in the world. But not only do they live a long time, they are healthy, as well.It is fascinating to learn that they routinely put a chunk of mineral salt in their tea each day (and they truly love their tea, drinking 10 to 20 cups per day). The salt and pure water are the cornerstone of everything they eat and drink. They benefit from the health-giving minerals found in their amazing crystal salt.Here are some of the recognized health benefits of Himalayan salt:*It regulates the water content throughout your body.*It normalizes blood-pressure.*It balances excess acidity from your cells.*It balances your blood sugar levels.*It helps reduce your aging rate.*It generates hydroelectric energy in your cells.*It helps with food absorption in intestinal tract.*It regulates your sleep.*It is a natural hypnotic.*It helps clear mucus and phlegm from your lungs.*It acts as a strong antihistamine*It helps clear up sinus congestion.*It helps prevent muscle cramps.*It helps prevent osteoporosis by firming bones.*It helps maintain libido.*It prevents spider veins on your legs and thighs.*It stabilizes irregular heartbeats.*It destroys a wide range of potentially harmful microbes, bacteria, protozoa and parasites.How it all relates to summer heat.The summer sun steals our body's hydration in many ways, sweating is only one way. You may not even be aware of how much water you lose each day. The rule of thumb is that if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.You should also be aware that alcohol and coffee dehydrate your body even more than the sun. The well-known hang-over is nothing more than a warning message from your body that it needs water's beneficial hydration (not soda). Dehydration causes the list of symptoms that were mentioned at the beginning of this article and more. So it is important to be aware of keeping your body fully hydrated at all times. Here are a few tips to do so.* Drink plenty of distilled or spring water.* Don't drink soda or fancy electrolyte drinks that can cause even more problems than they cure.* Use Himalayan salt in all of your cooking and to season your food.* For athletes, instead of calorie-laden electrolyte drinks, add Himalayan salt capsules taken with plenty of water to keep your body properly hydrated during intense or prolonged exercise.So try Himalayan salt!You will notice increased energy, and those dehydration symptoms will disappear.

Experience The Living Culture And Tradition Of Himalayan Kingdom Of Bhutan
Bhutan being the Buddhist kingdom and enjoying numerous festivals and has different names according to the types, the best and the biggest event is called "Tsechus". Tsechus are festivals extolling the great deeds of Guru Rimpoche, taken place on the 10th day of the month, which is meaning the word Tsechu. The Tsechu displayed annually in different occasion in all the districts, Dzongs and Monasteries, special religious places in the villages to commemorate the religious victory over the evils. During these festivals, many people will gather from the surrounding countryside with their best out looks. The Tsechu celebration will be celebrated for several days, between three to five days according to the location. The dances are performed by the monks and laymen. The performance of the dances are similar to one region to the another region. Certain Tsechus end with the hanging a huge religious paintings which are called ‘Thongdrel' meaning "by sight losing the sins or will be delivered from the cycle of rebirths". Some Tsechus end with ‘wang' meaning the verbal blessing given by the high monk and colored threads are then distributed which the people tie them around their necks as witness to the blessing. Some Tsechus start by ‘me-wang' meaning ‘blessed fire', as the people jump over a fire that burns away their impurities. Atsaras are clowns whose expressive masks and postures are in indispensable element in any religious festival. They confront the monks, toss out salacious jokes, and distract the crowd with their antics when the religious dances begin to grow tedious. Atsaras are believed to represent the Achariyas, religious masters of India, they are the only people permitted to mock religion in a society where sacred matters are treated with the highest respect. For a few days, these popular entertainers are allowed the freedom to express a formulaic challenge within an established framework that does not, however, upset the social and religious order.
For the Bhutanese, religious festivals offer an opportunity to become immersed in the meaning of their religion and to gain much merits. They are also occasion for seeing people, and for been seen for social exchanges, and for flaunting success. People bring out their finest clothes, their most beautiful jewels and they take out picnics rich with meat and abundant alcohol. Men and women joke and flirt. An atmosphere of convivial, slightly ribald good humor prevails.

Nepal Trekking – An Himalayan Rendezvous
Nepal, the Himalayan Kingdom is remembered as the home to the tallest mountain in the world – Mt. Everest at 8,840m or 29,002 ft. But in reality, Nepal is much more than just that!Situated between India and Tibet, Nepal is nestled comfortably in the lap of the mighty Himalayas. Considered as the perfect trekking destination, Nepal offers different terrains, and high altitude summits for moderate trekking to intensive mountaineering. The most popular treks in any Nepal trekking itinerary includes Mt. Everest Base Camp, Trekking to Jiri, Ananpurna Circuit, Langtang Himal trek, Shisapangma or Gosaithan Base camp trek, Langtang Lirung glacier trek, Trek to Mt. Kailash and Mansarovar Lake, Narphu Valley Trek, Sailung Trek, Timal Trek, Kalinchok Trek, and Milke Dada Trek. Of course, the classic trek of all times is to the Mt. Everest base camp because it will provide you with the opportunity to stand and look up at the tallest mountain in the world in its entire splendor. But that’s not all, Nepal trekking tours to Everest base camp offers a 360 degree view of some of the most beautiful glaciers and snow covered mountains in the region. The place to start the trek from is Namche Bazaar, which is also the acclimatization point for high altitude trekkers. En-route, from Chhukung Ri in Dingboche, you can get awe-inspiring views of Makalu, which is the 5th highest mountain in the world.There will be several acclimatization points on this Nepal trekking expedition and one such point is the Kala Pattar summit from where you will get some of the spectacular views of the south face of the Everest, Nuptse, and the Khumbu glacier. One of the astounding aspects of this Nepal trekking expedition is that you will have to walk right across the Khumbu Glacier to reach the Everest Base camp. The serenity of the surroundings en-route and the magical spell cast by the mighty Himalayas shining in the morning sun will captivate you. But what makes the experience more dramatic and exciting is the variety of flora and fauna in the region with small Sherpa villages built amidst such a bio-diverse region. There are several Buddhist monasteries on the way to the base camp and most Sherpa’s believe that prayers offered for fair weather will be answered and hence a stopover is necessary. Add to all this, a hot cup of tea made from Yak milk after a tiring day of high-altitude trek and your experience will be complete!

Himalayan Rivers
India has a vast network of rivers which are the lifeline of Indian civilization from the ages. Almost every Indian metropolitan city or small towns are established on the banks of these rivers.
From the ancient time, some of the Indian rivers are considered as pious and treated like God. Every year thousands of devotees thronged at their banks to pay their homage. Himalayas, the abode of snow is famous as the origin point of some of the largest and holiest rivers of India. These rivers are both naturally snow-fed and rain-fed and hence constantly flow throughout the year. Himalayan rivers discharge approximately 70 percent of their inflow into the sea. Some of the Himalayan rivers merges with Bay of Bengal while some joins with Arabian sea.
Some of the principle Indian rivers that originates from Himalayas are the mighty Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Indus. Beside these three rivers there are some secondary rivers that also originates from Himalayas but later on merge with these principle rivers such as Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and Yamuna.

Soak in the Health Benefits of Himalayan Bath Salt
For many women, bathing is an act of cleansing for the body and the spirit. The tub is a great place to escape, if only for a few moments, the day-to-day stresses of work and family. Women wanting to add something exotic and beneficial to their bath water often choose Himalayan Bath Salt, known for its appealing pink crystals and rejuvenating properties.
The Bath Salt That’s Purer Than Sea Salt
Millions of years ago, the sun dried up the primal sea and left the mineral-rich crystals we know today as Himalayan salt. Hand mined from deep within the Himalayan Mountains, Himalayan crystal salt is the purest salt available on the planet. Covered in snow year round, the pristine environment of the Himalayas protects the salt from the pollutants that too often permeate salt from the sea.
Use Bath Salt to Energize and Detoxify
In addition to its purity, there is another reason health conscious women enjoy making Himalayan Bath Salt a part of their bathing ritual. Containing all the elements found in the human body, this special bath salt has all-natural replenishing power stored within its crystals. Its bio-photon content is stored energy that releases when mixed with water, rejuvenating both mind and body. Soaking in the bath salt also draws out toxins, soothes tired or damaged muscles and eases tension - something many women say is the greatest benefit of all.
"After an early morning workout at the gym and a long day at the office, I’m beat," says thirty-two year old Cynthia. "My legs tend to cramp up at night, so I ordered Best of Nature Himalayan Bath Salt online and gave it a try to see if it would help. I was thrilled with how well it worked!"
"My legs felt so much better, and so did my skin,” she continues. “It felt really soft. Now I use it all the time and I come out of the tub really relaxed and ready to go. I can’t recommend it enough."

Himalayan Goji Juice and berries seem to be all the rage lately, it even has Opera and Dr.Oz talking about it. However with so many Goji products on the market how can you be sure to get the best brand? With recent science its easier than you think.The secret to Himalayan Goji Juice or any of the berries are the 4 unique polysaccharides that are found within the juice of the berry. The major differentiation between a great Himalayan Goji Juice vs a lesser quality product is based on the amount of Polysaccharides that are found in the bottle.

It's not about if the product is 100 percent Goji Juice, it all comes down to the extraction process used to remove the Polysaccharides.

What kind of foods can I add to my diet to help me maintain high energy levels throughout my diet and not crash after I'm finished working out," "Bright colored fruits, like goji berries, are also great," Dr. Oz says. "They grow in the Himalayas. They're the most potent antioxidant fruit that we know,"A study from Dr. Mindell's book 'Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret', observed that 67 per cent of elderly people that were given a daily dose of the berries for 3 weeks experienced dramatic immune system enhancement (T cell transformation functions tripled and the activity of interleukin-2 doubled). Further more, the spirit and optimism of all significantly increased, appetite improved in 95 per cent of the patients, 95 per cent slept better, and 35 per cent partially recovered their sexual function.Other benefits you can expect to see are less insomnia and forgetfulness, it also helps in cleaning the blood and building the immune system as well as increases sexual performance.It's also important to ensure you are getting a standardized product.
