Geothermal seems to be nearing an inflection point. With rising load growth, clean, firm power is more valuable than ever. Next-gen geothermal players like Fervo Energy and Sage Geosystems are signing PPAs with major tech firms. Even U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright — a known critic of renewables — has praised the potential of geothermal.  The size of the U.S. geothermal resource accessible through next-gen geothermal technologies like enhanced-geothermal systems is enormous — potentially thousands of gigawatts. But tapping into it hinges on figuring out the economics. So what does it actually take to develop a geothermal project — and how are new tools reshaping the process? In this episode, Shayle talks to Carl Hoiland, co-founder and CEO of geothermal energy company Zanskar, which uses AI for enhanced geothermal exploration. Shayle and Carl cover topics like:  Why geothermal stalled — and what's changing now The full step-by-step process of developing a project How to avoid exploration risk, also known as dry hole risk Methods for estimating resource size and managing depletion risk The geothermal supply chain  How permitting is speeding up Carl's outlook for when and where development is likely to happen Resources: Latitude Media: Geothermal could meet 64% of hyperscale data center power demand Latitude Media: Why geothermal might benefit from Trump's tariffs The Green Blueprint: How a text message launched a geothermal revolution in Utah Latitude Media: The geothermal industry has a potential ally in Chris Wright Latitude Media: Why California lawmakers are warming to geothermal  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Did you know there were mega cities in history that were way ahead of their time? Take Mohenjo-Daro in ancient India—it had an advanced drainage system and grid-like streets 4,500 years ago! Or the Mayan city of Tikal, with its towering pyramids and complex water management systems hidden deep in the jungle.

A lot of climate tech investors are still trying to figure out how to invest in artificial intelligence. Will it become a unique investment category? Or just a natural enhancement of what many startups are already building? There's an emerging class of startups that wouldn't exist without AI. Citrine Informatics is using generative AI to speed up discovery of new materials; Koloma is using AI to identify potential sources of geologic hydrogen; and Zanskar is using AI to accelerate and derisk geothermal exploration. Andrew Beebe, managing director at Obvious Ventures, thinks that AI is pushing the “edge of the possible” in climate tech. He recently led a $30 million Series B round in Zanskar, calling it “generative science at work.” “I think generative science is the next phase…it is going to shorten the distance to some of these massive solutions,” in batteries, solar, nuclear, and geothermal, said Beebe, speaking on The Carbon Copy. “Zanskar doesn't have special drilling technology. They don't have new fluids or new Rankin cycle systems on the top. They literally just have a better way to look for geothermal because in America.” This week, Beebe joins the show to riff on AI-driven climate solutions, the need for more clean, firm power to meet rising power demand, and a variety of other tech trends that are shaping what he calls “the climate decade.” Utility rates could make or break the energy transition – so how do we do it right? On June 13th, Latitude Media and GridX are hosting a Frontier Forum to examine the imperative of good rate design, and the consequences of getting it wrong. Register here. And make sure to listen to our new podcast, Political Climate – an insider's view on the most pressing policy questions in energy and climate.

Julia and guest Olivier Ciais invite you to join them on a journey of transformation like no other. Get ready to have your mind expanded, your heart awakened, and your spirit renewed by the ancient wisdom codes of the Zanskar, Ladakh region in the Indian Himalayas.We touched on:Ladakh/ Zanskar Region as vibrational tuning fork for the Anima Mundi & birthplace for the light teachings of ShamballaDissolving into oneness - Becoming one with Earth and Spirit How the sacredness of the landscape is supporting pure consciousness of leadership based in sourceEgo death and universal love: Olivier's quest to find the red lakeOlivier's upcoming expedition to re-assess the archetype of familyAbout Olivier:Oliviers world is pervaded by Love-in-Action in all its forms : Applied spirituality and inspired action, meditation, music and writing, care of the Earth. Standing wholeheartedly for the coming ones, including as a father and former schoolteacher.He spent a good part of this life asserting the view of interdependence, the Beauty of Nature, Kosmos, through Music, scientific (astrophysics/ cosmology) study and lectures, and facilitating from primary to permaculture schools to transformative spaces.His path has crossed from very early exoteric and esoteric Christianity, Sufism and Vedic traditions, yet it's essentially through Tibetan, Vajrayana Buddhism, Aurobindo's Integral Yoga and the Yoga of Synthesis as pervading the works of Helen Blavatsky, Nicholas and Helena Roerich, Alice Bailey and, for the last decade, Bruce Lyon that he felt “Home”.He feels in Soul of Earth, network of agents for New Civilization and reference point of creativity, the assertion of the existence of the Soul as the primordial ingredient of the dawning Civilisation. From the depth of the Unknowable at its Core, to the radiant and Loving Consciousness “soularising” inner and outer worlds, to the landing of this Principle into a tender gesture on the cheek of a child, a song, an essay, a dance or souvenirs of the future like food forests and organic buildings. A Love story between Space, Soul and Soil that manifested a heaven for soul-based education and permaculture design over his hometown of Nice, South East of France. And ignites a newer land project centered on meditation closer to the mountains.His stand is dedication to the Earth. Its Evolution. The Soul's ability to birth and reveal Beauty everywhere it looks and acts. And, through Soul of Earth, playing his fullest part in a Soul Revolution reinventing life on Earth.Connect with Olivier:Website: Soul of EarthFacebook: Najan Elnajath, Earth in TransitionInstagram: @earth_in_transitionInquire about the Sacred Journey to Zanskar, Ladakh with Olivier and his friends: “Incarnating a Prophecy of Wholeness - A pilgrimage for families, couples and lovers of life"If you like the show, please do me a favor and like, follow and leave me a review or tag me on your socials #thesacredtravelpodcast. Thank you so much! Ready to embark on your own expansion journey?Check out upcoming Conscious Travel and Sacred Site Pilgrimages w

“Imagine one day you receive a letter in the mail that informs you that a large energy company is planning to build a massive pipeline through your property. That surveyors will be coming out soon. That they have the legal right to do so, whether you like it or not, because this project is in the 'public interest.'" That's how journalist Jonathan Mingle describes the letter that people in rural Virginia received in 2014 from Dominion Energy, one of the biggest power companies in the country. Dominion was planning to construct the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which would carry natural gas over some 600 miles. What happened next is not how most David vs. Goliath stories end. People in the rural communities organized, mobilized, and fought back. The battle raged for six years until the pipeline was canceled in 2020. Jonathan Mingle tells this dramatic story of climate change and resistance in his new book, “Gaslight: The Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the Fight for America's Energy Future.”Mingle, who lives in Lincoln, has traveled to distant corners of the world to chronicle the impacts of climate change and those who are fighting to stop it. In 2015, he published "Fire and Ice: Soot, Solidarity and Survival on the Roof of the World," about his travels to the former Buddhist kingdom of Zanskar in northern India. He wrote about what is happening as Himalayan glaciers dry up and drought spreads.Mingle has also reported on Vermont's struggle to fund its rural schools and about how the July 2023 floods showed that Vermont is not immune from climate chaos.“This idea that you could somehow escape the impacts of climate change is a delusion,” he said about Vermont's recent experience with flooding.Mingle said that the people who fought and won against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline demonstrated that “the most overlooked climate solution is solidarity. And we're going to need it to adapt to climate change.” 

One of the biggest expenses in geothermal power is finding the right spot to dig. Utah-based Zanskar thinks its big data and machine learning platform can help.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Original airdate: May 31, 2022 So many of us undervalue our own experience and overlook the wisdom that can support us daily. These habits of self-sabotage knock the wind out of our sails and keep us searching and grasping for what we have already realized. One way to overcome this is to see life as a unique epic journey and become aware of the transformation we experience through its peaks and valleys. To help us find inspiration, I invited Amy Edelstein. Amy Edelstein is the author of six books, including the award-winning The Conscious Classroom. Founder of the non-profit Inner Strength Education and recipient of a Philadelphia Social Innovator's award, Amy's work has empowered 17,000 teens in under-resourced schools with mindfulness and systems thinking. During our conversation, Amy shared what she learned during an epic journey she took in 1983 to the remote western corner of the Tibetan Plateau in Zanskar, India. She also offers ideas on how to view our own lives as journeys so that we feel empowered and immersed in the richness of everyday living.

Gleißende Hitze, weite Sandwüsten und alte Karawanenwege, die sich durch die ägyptische Sahara ziehen … Oder auch: Eiskaltes heiliges Wasser, das aus 108 Bronzekuhköpfen schießt, Mantras und Gebetsfahnen, die überall in Nepal präsent sind. Was haben diese Orte gemein? Sie sind Heimat alter Pilgerwege. Die beiden Fotografen Andrea Nuss und Dieter Glogowski haben sich dem Thema “Pilgern” in ganz unterschiedlichen Regionen der Welt genähert, mal allein, mal zusammen. Sie zogen durch den Himalaya, durch den Sinai, erkundeten die Olavswege in Norwegen und wanderten auf den Spuren von Franziskus von Florenz nach Assisi. Doch was genau ist Pilgern eigentlich? Warum wurde es zum Trend? Was trägt es heute für eine Bedeutung?Diesen Fragen haben sich die beiden letzten Sommer bei uns auf dem Weltwach-Festival auf dem Kunterbunthof in einem Vortrag gewidmet. Anschließend haben wir – draußen, im Sonnenschein vor der alten Jazz-Scheune – diskutiert: über die Wüsten des Sinai, die Gipfel des Himalaya und das Pilgern an diesen und anderen Orten. Es ist ein weitreichendes Gespräch geworden, unter anderem über die Achtsamkeit, mit wachem Herzen nach innen und außen zu schauen. Noch ein paar Worte zu unseren Gästen: Dieter Glogowski ist Fotojournalist, Buchautor und Vortragsredner. Er ist seit über 40 Jahren im Himalaya unterwegs, hat dort Schulen gebaut, wurde 1993 von Mönchen des Klosters Lingshed in Zanskar zu ihrem Repräsentant für Deutschland gewählt, engagiert sich in diversen Hilfsprojekten in der Himalaya-Region, drehte TV-Produktionen für ARD und ARTE, die international ausgezeichnet wurden, und er ist Gründer des Weitsicht-Festivals. Andrea Nuss ist Fotografin, Buchautorin und Dipl. Kunstgeschichtlerin. Als sie 1996 zum ersten Mal in den Sinai reiste, entwickelte sich aus anfänglicher Abenteuerlust schnell eine tiefe Verbundenheit mit den Beduinen und ihrer Lebenswelt. Mittlerweile spricht sie fließend Arabsich und gewann über die Jahre tiefe Einblicke in das Leben der Beduinenfrauen – Einblicke, die Männern verborgen bleiben. Aus dieser Verbindung entstanden Projekte wie “Frauen helfen Frauen”, die sie bis heute umsetzt. Außerdem bietet sie gemeinsam mit ihren Beduinenfreunden seit vielen Jahren zweimal jährlich Kameltouren für Reisegäste in der Wüste Sinai an. Schaut euch das gern an, wenn ihr Lust habt auf ein besonderes Wüstenerlebnis mit eindrucksvollen Landschaften, Weite, Stille, Lagerfeuer, Sternenhimmel und vor allem viel Nähe zu der Kultur der Beduinen und den Kamelen.

Brigadier Devinder Singh had commanded the 70 Infantry Brigade in the Batalik sector during the Kargil war. He led the critical battle for Point 5203, which had been quickly overrun by Pakistani troops in the early days of the war. He also led the assaults on the Jubbar complex, one of the most difficult campaigns during the war. Brigadier Singh became a victim of prejudice and that cost him a war medal. He was recommended for a Mahavir Chakra, the second highest award for gallantry but was awarded a Vishisht Seva Medal, a peacetime decoration. Shiv Kunal Verma is the author of Ocean to Sky – India from the Air (Roli Books), a pictorial on the Military World Games and two books on the Assam Rifles. He is also the author of The Long Road to Siachen: The Question Why (Rupa & Co.) and Courage & Conviction, the autobiography of General VK Singh which was published by Aleph in October 2013; His book, 1962 – The War That Wasn't has been hailed by critics as being the most definitive work on the Indo-China conflict. A graduate of Madras Christian College, he did his schooling at the Doon School. He started his career opening trekking routes between Kashmir and the Zanskar and Ladakh regions. After a brief stint with India Today and the Associated Press he went on to direct and photograph the Project Tiger television series.

Join us in the next episode of the Our Daily Magic Podcast (LIVE from the Facebook Group  and Youtube) as "I am Magickai" aka Kaí and Dell Henderson aka "The True Essence Connector" will be interviewing Amy Edelstein. Amy Edelstein is an educator, author, and nonprofit leader. She is a powerful communicator of ideas and beliefs that can help us transform ourselves and the culture we live in. In 2014, Amy founded Inner Strength Education, a non-profit organization that has empowered 17,000 inner-city teens in mindfulness and systems thinking.  Amy began her own mindfulness practice in 1978 and has been an avid practitioner, researcher, teacher, and author of transformative tools and practices.  She received a Philadelphia Social Innovation Award for her organization's work in Violence Reduction.  Amy is a Cornell University College Scholar, cofounder of the learning platform Emergence Education, and author of six books including the award-winning, bestseller The Conscious Classroom. ***** The episode started with Amy sharing her "daily magic"  in life (4:36). Dell points out the profoundness of her philosophies (6:49) and adds that people tend to create changes based from the mind and not from the heart. Amy agrees (7:25 ) and adds that there are a lot of good people out there but are manipulated by the world where it makes them see the worst of another.  When Amy mentions that she stayed in India for four years (17:43), Dell was curious of the mystical events she experienced (18:54), as he knows India is a place full of mystical events. She shares some of what she went through but says that India is a different place now compared to 40 years ago.  Kai opens up the topic on violence (24:02), where she asks on how she cultivates a violence reduction mindset. Amy says that her first priority is gun ban, as this is usually the start of violence in the country.  She then shares about her experience with a young woman (26:59). Dell was amazed by the story, and says that we all should be like the girl.  Kai then shifts the conversation, asking about her daily practices for herself (30:37) where Amy opens up about doing a meditation called open awareness. She then gave a sample meditation for the couple and for the listeners as well.  Dell opens up about the recent school shooting and how he felt fear as a parent (36:19) and asks Amy's message with regards to the grievance of of losing a child.   Dell then shifts the conversation to Amy's adventures in the Himalayas (47:06) in her four-year stay in India and how it lead her to write the book, Adventure in Zanskar. Kai was then curious on what made her decide that she's ready to come home (52:26).  Amy proceeds to encourage everyone that if the spirit of adventuring (54:35) is knocking, it's better to open the door and give in. She shares that one of the most important lessons she learned is that it will get us out from the tracks we believe we are on. Listen to the whole episode as our hosts take us to an adventure in the valleys of Tibet and how it allows us to reflect on what's inside us.  Stay Magical!  ***** Discover your soul's truth so you can get exactly what you want out of life.  Book a FREE Soul Chat with Kaí + Dell: https://ourdailymagic.as.me/soulchat

So many of us undervalue our own experience and overlook the wisdom that can support us daily. These habits of self-sabotage knock the wind out of our sails and keep us searching and grasping for what we have already realized.  One way to overcome this is to see our life as a unique epic journey and to become aware of the transformation we experience through the peaks and valleys of life.  To help us find inspiration, I invited Amy Edelstein. Amy Edelstein is the author of six books, including the award-winning The Conscious Classroom. Founder of the non-profit Inner Strength Education and recipient of a Philadelphia Social Innovator's award, Amy's work has empowered 17,000 teens in under-resourced schools with mindfulness and systems thinking. During our conversation, Amy shares what she learned during an epic journey she took in 1983 when she journeyed to the remote western corner of the Tibetan Plateau in Zanskar, India. She also offers ideas on how to view our own life as a journey so that we feel empowered and immersed in the richness of everyday living.  If you liked what you heard, don't forget to like, rate, share and subscribe to this podcast.

[Montagnes Podcast - Épisode 5] Le Nun à skis de Boris Langenstein  En mai 2017, les deux adeptes du ski extrême Boris Langenstein et Tiphaine Duperier s'envolent pour le massif du Zanskar, en Inde. Le duo, adepte des expéditions d'exploration n'a pas de but précis et enchaîne les sessions de ski dans la région. Très vite, le Nun, la plus grande montagne du massif avec ses 7 135 m, séduit les deux alpinistes. Après deux jours de progression difficile, ils parviennent au sommet le 24 mai. Malgré la fatigue, la concentration est maximale : là-haut commence pour eux une descente vertigineuse de 3 000 mètres dans les traces du Suisse Sylvain Saudan, premier à avoir réalisé cet exploit en 1977. Réalisation Eiman Cazé pour © Montagnes Magazine

durée : 00:53:57 - Le temps d'un bivouac - par : Daniel FIEVET - Dans la vallée du Zanskar, une petite communauté de nonnes bouddhistes vit coupée du monde pendant les longs mois de la saison hivernale. La grande voyageuse Caroline Riegel s'est liée d'amitié avec ces femmes. Elle raconte leur vie et les évolutions rapides auxquelles elles sont confrontées.

Cet épisode est un extrait du podcast publié lundi dernier.  En moins de 10 minutes, il te permettra de capter les plus beaux messages de l'épisode avec Raphaël de Casabianca. Un extrait qui je l'espère, remplacera Instagram pendant ta pause de 10mn, se retrouvera dans tes oreilles avant de t'endormir, ou à ton réveil pour commencer ta journée dans la joie.  Si ce passage te plait et que tu as envie d'en connaître plus sur mon invité.e de la semaine, l'épisode en entier t'attend chaudement sur Nouvel Œil.

Quand on est portés par quelque chose de plus fort qui nous correspond, qui est une passion, qui donne du sens à notre vie, on y va.  Quand il y a une volonté, il y a un chemin.  Ces mots sont ceux de Raphaël de Casabianca, dans cet épisode.  A 16 ans, Raphaël se passionne pour la photographie. Un BTS d'audiovisuel plus tard, c'est sa volonté qui fera la différence pour intégrer Disney Télévision avant de devenir producteur pour les chaines de National Geographic et Voyage.  En 2013, il rejoint comme globe-trotter Echappées Belles sur France 3 et en 2018, il est sollicité par Stéphane Bern pour faire découvrir Le Village préféré des Français. La suite, vous la connaissez peut-être : Raphaël anime maintenant Rendez-vous en Terre inconnue.   Le parcours de Raphaël illustre à quel point les opportunités fleurissent quand on mêle passion et volonté. Je crois qu'au fond il n'y a que ça qui compte : se lever le matin avec la ferme intention de faire grandir ses passions. C'est sur ce chemin-là que la vie sait nous surprendre.  C'est l'audace qui paye, et cette fois ce n'est pas moi qui le dit, c'est Raphaël.  Alors je vous laisse plonger dans son histoire, dans ses mots, pour que vous cultiviez en vous cette petite graine qui ne demande qu'à germer. Belle écoute ! ☀️ --- Pour m'encourager en participant à la page Tipeee

Adventure in Zanskar: one woman's solitary journey to reach physical and metaphysical heightsThis episode of The Conscious Classroom is a little different, some fun. I just published a memoir about a solitary trek I undertook in the highest mountains of the world, the western most corner of the Tibetan Plateau, and area called Zanskar, India.I simply couldn't wait to share it with all of you. It'll take you on a journey in 1983  through a region virtually untouched by western materialist culture and show you what's possible to realize when we dare to go beyond our conventional limits. You can grab your kindle copy here! (Or paperback or hardback for gifts)Please share a review when you finish it'll help others find the book. Enjoy!As acclaimed author Andrew Harvey wrote, A thrilling book takes us into the heart of one of the most powerful spiritual places on Earth - Zanskar. It is a must read for all those who love and recognize the healing power of place and the adventure that spiritual travel can open up. “This is a beautiful book for every woman who has ever wanted to do something extraordinary.  ... Amy's story is sure to light a fire within you to expand your own horizons and tap into untold dimensions of inner strength, courage, determination, and resilience.” — Claire Zammit, Ph.D., Founder, FemininePower.com"If you are looking to lift your spirits, read this book—it will lighten your heart and show you a path to lasting happiness."— Marci Shimoff,  #1 NY Times bestselling author of Happy for No ReasonSupport the show

There's a place named Sking in Zanskar, in the Himalayan mountains where people live a simple yet satisfying life. Come with me and spend a day in their lives. Based on this documentary: https://youtu.be/NPic_MsN-y8

It perhaps all started with the cave paintings. A canvas perhaps of one's identity. The most prized portrayal of one's achievements. As time went by the expression found its place as the mantel piece, or the framed photo with a celeb, the Hussain in the living room, but the Yamaha RX 100 in your bedroom? That is our guest, the enigmatic Parakram Hazarika! They say a bird in hand is worth two in bush but this man who has a weakness for the momo suffers a FOMO with his RX in bed and Jajabor and Enajori his go to town rides, in the basement. This is part two of the intriguing story from the exciting life of Parakram Hazarika. A romantic, a dog piper, a dogged foodie, a momo devourer, a PR mercenary with a marketing battle, a traveler, a biker a beardo and thank God another weirdo. Also featuring Col. Manoj Keshwar on #MyWay from #Zanskar. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bikerradiorodcast/message

Nouria Newman combines a surprising adeptness at playing on white waters with an endless thirst for discovering new horizons.While most paddlers struggle to master just one sport, Nouria Newman combines several of them. She competes in canoe, freestyle and extreme kayaking, and excels in each and every one of them. Her achievements in the various disciplines prove she's one of a kind. In 2013 she won the Ottawa XL, one of the most important freestyle world meetings, followed that by taking K-1 silver at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships, and just a few months later she was crowned extreme kayaking world champion. The following year she won team gold at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships and team bronze at the European Championships. In 2016 she was runner-up at the Sickline Extreme Kayak World Championships and in 2017 took first place at the GoPro Mountain Games Steep Creek Championships.As if competition wasn't enough for the seemingly inexhaustible athlete, Nouria ventured on a solo kayaking trip down the Tsarap, Zanskar and Indus rivers in the Himalayas in August 2018. During the week-long adventure she says she "cried, laughed and talked to myself like a crazy person."It's hard to understand how such an outstanding athlete would have any spare time to partake in any 'normal' activities, but she also has a masters in journalism and political science from Sciences Po Toulouse. “Journalism is actually very similar to kayaking,” she says. “You always have to adapt!” But that's Nouria, always where you least expect her.

Si le voyage est une école, l’écrivaine et aventurière française en est l’une de ses plus ardentes élèves ou disciples. Surtout depuis qu’elle a décidé à 30 ans de plaquer une vie et un mari bien rangés pour aller voir ailleurs si elle y est.  Depuis que Linda Bortoletto s’est lancée sur les chemins du voyage, tous ceux qu’elle a décidé d’emprunter seule, des contrées sibériennes aux immensités de l’Alaska qu’elle a traversé à vélo, en passant par le Tibet Oriental, le Zanskar ou encore en Israël, à pied du Nord au Sud sur plus de 1 100 kilomètres, ont des allures d’enseignements.  De ces puissants allers-retours entre soi et le monde, de ce privilège et cette audace qu’elle s’est donné un jour de faire de sa vie un voyage, Linda Bortoletto en a presque fait une religion, sans dogmes ni carcan, mais avec quelques préceptes quand même, empreints de philosophie bouddhiste. Un peu gourou, surtout chamane, celle qui se revendique exploratrice raconte, depuis quelques années, ses multiples pérégrinations dans des livres-témoignages, où à chaque fois on l’imagine comme en pèlerinage vers un temple sacré du voyage, niché qui sait dans les montagnes, où serait écrit sur le fronton les mots vérité et liberté.  Son dernier livre «Le souffle des Andes», récit d’une renaissance au Chili après une agression sexuelle en Turquie, n’échappe pas à la règle. À ceci près qu’il faudrait désormais ajouter sur le fronton, le mot égalité.  En savoir plus : - Sur la trajectoire de Linda Bortoletto - Sur le Greater Patagonian Trail, un trek non balisé ou entretenu, créé par l’Allemand Jan Dudek et qui s’étend sur plus de 3 000 kilomètres - Sur son dernier livre «Le Souffle des Andes», paru aux Éditions Payot.

In this episode, Derek Franz narrates “To Look the Bear in the Eye: The Life of Yasushi Yamanoi,” a story by Sartaj Ghuman that was first published in Alpinist 62 (Summer 2018). Yamanoi is among the few who have established new climbs, alone and in alpine style, on 8000-meter peaks. His many significant climbs earned him a Piolet d’Or Asia Lifetime Achievement Award, but the Japanese alpinist is disinclined to self-promote. In this story Ghuman joins Yamanoi as a liaison officer on an expedition in the Zanskar region of India in search of a deeper dialogue with the wild.   [Photo] Yasushi Yamanoi collection This episode is brought to you by Rab Equipment.

Dans ce nouvel épisode d'Au-delà des Murs sur la webradio Allô la Planète, on parle des coutumes spécifiques à chaque pays. David Ducoin (Tribu Ducoin)  raconte ses retrouvailles avec leurs amis Zanskarpas qui vivent dans la rudesse des régions montagneuses du nord-ouest de l'Inde, traversées par le fleuve Zanskar. Lui et son père qui n'était pas revenu depuis 25 ans, découvrirent que sur le fleuve gelé, beaucoup de choses ont changé. Yvette et Aurélien des Tiliky Trip, sont partis pour un tour des pays d'Amérique latine en van. C'était il y a 2 ans. Ils se sont installés au Paraguay où ils ont lancé un société de location de vans. Ils témoignent dans cette émission de leur attache à ce pays. Ils évoquent les racines Guarani et des ethnies qui vivent encore coupées de la civilisation. Alain vit six mois de l'année en Roumanie. Il s'est installé il y a 16 ans dans la province d'Alba. Il vit dans un commun situé à 1100 m d'altitude où le temps semble s'être arrêté. Là bas, les différentes coutumes sont toujours régies par la loi de la nature et l'authenticité. Alain parle avec passion de ce pays et de sa culture. Il aime vivre près de ces familles qui vivent pour beaucoup en autarcie. Soutenez-nous !

Silvia Turato, traduttrice"Il Tibet in tre semplici passi"di Pierre JourdePrehistorica Editorehttps://www.prehistoricaeditore.it/A tre riprese, a cavallo degli anni Settanta e Ottanta, Pierre Jourde va a esplorare le piste di Zanskar, vallata desertica dell'Himalaya a oltre quattromila metri di altitudine. Il Tibet in tre semplici passi racconta proprio quei lunghi peripli sotto forma di stramba epopea, descrivendo i tormenti, lo stupore e quanto di ridicolo potesse appartiene a dei ragazzotti occidentali di banlieue abbandonati a una natura smisurata; sì, perché attraversare ghiacci perenni con l'equipaggiamento dell'escursionista della domenica presume un'evidente incoscienza, ma anche un'insospettabile tenacia.Gestita con grande maestria, una narrazione giubilante screziata di metafisica e misticismo accompagnerà il lettore dentro un testo vertiginoso, in bilico tra romanzo di formazione e racconto di viaggi, non senza riuscire ricco di colpi di scena e altamente spiazzante. Ben lungi dalle ricette dell'esotismo fine a se stesso e dell'ingenuità a ispirazione realista, questo romanzo si prefigge di rendere sensibile il grande enigma del mondo e della bellezza.Uno degli ultimi viaggi autentici, di un'epoca preglobale: senza rete. Una scrittura vivida alla Bouvier, ma che farà scoprire anche un altro aspetto intrinseco dell'avventura: l'umorismo.Pierre Jourde, è nato nel 1955 a Créteil, ma da bambino usava passare le vacanze nella casa di famiglia, situata nella remota regione dell'Auvergne, fra le montagne di cui narra Paese perduto. Nel panorama letterario francese è una delle voci più autorevoli, probabilmente la più schietta e coraggiosa in assoluto. Autore del fortunato blog letterario Confitures de culture, Pierre Jourde si è sempre distinto per la sorprendente varietà di ispirazione, che gli ha permesso di spaziare dal romanzo al racconto, per arrivare all'autobiografia, alla poesia, al saggio filosofico e alla critica letteraria. Nel corso degli anni ha ottenuto numerosi premi, tra cui spiccano il RENAUDOT DES LYCÉENS, il GRAND PRIX THYDE MONNIER DE LA SGDL, il PRIX VALÉRY LARBAUD, il PRIX VIRILO, il PRIX VIALATTE e il prestigiosissimo GRAND PRIX DE L'ACADÉMIE FRANCAISE; questo testo in particolare gli è valso il PRIX GÉNÉRATION DU ROMAN. Fondatore della rivista culturale “Hespéris”, è docente di letteratura francese presso l'Università di Grenoble III. In Francia, è attualmente pubblicato dalla celeberrima casa editrice Gallimard. Paese perduto è la prima opera di Pierre Jourde pubblicata in Italia. Silvia Turato si occupa di editoria da una decina d'anni, collaborando con diverse case editrici. Dopo aver ricoperto quasi tutti i mestieri del libro, ha scelto di dividersi stabilmente tra il lavoro di traduttrice e quello di libraia all'Arcadia di Rovereto.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it

Days after a violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in East Ladakh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday paid an unannounced visit to Leh, along with Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and Army Chief General M M Naravane. He also visited soldiers who were injured in the clash in Ladakh. Modi reached Leh around 9:30 am, PTI reported. Located at 11,000 feet, Nimu is among the toughest terrains. It lies on the banks of river Indus and is surrounded by the Zanskar range. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses soldiers in Nimoo, Ladakh. He told solidiers that the bravery that they and their compatriots had displated is a message that has gone to the world about India’s strength. He told the soldiers that their courage is greater than the heights at which they have been posted. The bravery of 14 Corps will be talked about everywhere, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, adding the tales of the soldiers' bravery and valour are echoing in every house.   China today said that artificial blocks to bilateral cooperation would harm India's interests and that the two countries should work together to uphold peace in their border region. Beijing will take necessary measures to uphold the rights of Chinese businesses in India, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a news briefing. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena says Demonetisation, scrapping of Article 370 and bifurcation of J&K have done nothing to improve security situation in terror-affected UT. While Ladakhis claim China has taken their land, the PM says otherwise, said Rahul Gandhi. Listen to the podcast for more

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks to  Medhavi Gandhi, the founder of Heritage Lab (heritagelab.in), a unique media platform for citizens to interact with museums!   Today's destination: The Indian Himalayas in paintings by Nicholas Roerich!  Nearest Airport: NA  Nearest Railway Station: NA  Length of the itinerary: 5-8 years, 25,000 kms  Itinerary Highlights:   -  Medhavi takes us on the Himalayan expedition covered by Nicholas Roerich and his family in the early 20th century (1923) in search of the mythical kingdom of Shambala, that is believed to be home to the King who will bring peace and harmony to humanity.   Roerich's expedition started from Sikkim through Punjab, Kashmir, Ladakh, the Karakoram Mountains, Khotan, Kashgar, Qara Shar, Urumchi, Irtysh, the Altai Mountains, the Oyrot region of Mongolia, the Central Gobi, Kansu, Tsaidam, and Tibet" with a detour through Siberia to Moscow in 1926.   The journey was done on horses and mules, with minimal resources and it is during this expedition that Roerich painted more than 500 marvellous paintings of the himalayan landscapes, architecture and people.   Roerich also uses very novel ways to paint, using crushed rocks minerals in his paintings to give them a unique finish.   The expedition wasn't witout controversy - Roerich was often accused of being on a spy mission and was also detained in Tibet for over 5 months in very harsh climatic conditions.   After the expedition, Roerich settles down in Naggar, Kullu in Himachal Pradesh - it is now converted into a house museum and run by the Naggar trust and still houses a lot of his important paintings.   Other important paintings of Roerich can be found in the Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York.   A huge collection of his paintings is also available in National Gallery of Modern Art, Allahabad Museum, International Roerich Trust, Naggar - Himachal Pradesh, Government Museum and Art gallery, Chandigarh, Shri Jaganmohan palace, Mysore,  Chitrakala parishad, Bangalore.   Some of his paintings that were passed on to his son, have been the subject of a legal tussle for his estate that has gone of for the longest time, with paintings worth several lakhs reportedly stolen and sold abroad.   Over his lifetime Roerich made over 7000 paintings, but his Himalayan paintings and the mystery of the expedition live one!  Some notable paintings from Roerich's Himalayan expedition detailed in Medhavi's blog  A view of Kanchenjunga from Sikkim (Tashi view point)  A view of Kanchenjunga from Darjeeling (Tiger hill)  Tashiding Monastery, Sikkim (Bhumchu festival/Banners of the east)  Mt Kailash (tibet)  Kinner Kailash (HP, 28 colors of the ranges)  Lahual (Himachal), Rohtang Pass;   Buddhist MOnks, Sissu waterfalls  Ladakh - shooting star in Changthang plateau  Buddhist sculptures on boulders (Zanskar range)  Maitreyi Buddha, near Mulbek monastery  lamayaru Monastery, Leh (Yuru Kabgyata festival, masked dance)  Lake sheshnag, Kashmir (enroute amarnath yatra, Shiva's serpent)  Naggar, Kullu  Links:  Link to Medhavi's website: http://www.theheritagelab.in/ Link to the blog post: http://www.theheritagelab.in/himalayas-paintings-roerich/ Twitter: @medhavigandhi @theheritagelab Instagram: @theheritagelab Facebook: @heritagelab Image Credit : The Heritage Lab, Painting at Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York  Follow the Musafir stories on  Twitter Facebook Instagram website: www.themusafirstories.com  email: themusafirstories@gmail.com  itunes -  https://apple.co/2LPtTA3  Google podcasts - http://bit.ly/2toY7lj or voice or google search "Ok Google, play The Musafir stories podcast"  website - http://bit.ly/2xFZqOV   Saavn - https://bit.ly/2J5rIqi  Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2HLPSVi  pocketcasts - https://bit.ly/2xu3Ewg  castbox - https://bit.ly/2sqBDQi  Overcast - https://bit.ly/2LN9wnf  Stitcher Radio - https://bit.ly/2JiBbhw  audioBoom - https://bit.ly/2oZZowS  TuneIn - https://bit.ly/2xyQH4a  RadioPublic - https://bit.ly/2snY9u0   iHeartradio - https://ihr.fm/2xvOG8R  Deezer - https://bit.ly/2L7GmOo

Look! look! said Prasenjit. “I’m looking southwards and see a six kilometer high mountain!” As seen from the Shanti Stupa in Leh, the towering summit of Stok Kangri rises distinctly above the valley, giving its inhabitants a permanent ever-changing canvas to reflect within and without. We were on an unplanned detour crossing one mountain range after another; headed towards Zanskar, an idea which seemed increasingly theoretical… CC-BY-NC attribution of music part of this blogpost

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks to a very dear guest - Ajitha Yasmin, a long time listener and winner of the "Get Featured on the Musafir Stories" contest we ran on International Podcast Day earlier this year. Today's destination: Chadar Trek on the frozen Zanskar river, Jammu & Kashmir Nearest Airport: Leh Airport, IXL Nearest Railway Station: NA Prerequisites - Some experience in trekking is preferred, although not mandatory Packing - Make sure to either pack winter clothes or buy them in Leh. Decathalon is a good option in your city as well. Equipment is usually taken care of by the trek company. Time of the year - January Length of the itinerary: 6 day trek, 2 day acclimatization Itinerary Highlights: The 12 people strong team, set off after a day of acclimatization in Leh with a stopover at Magnetic hill. The trek kicks off at Chiling from where the group heads off on a 70km trek over 6 days. The trek goes through some interesting terrain with different formations of ice over the Zanskar river. The early hours are tricky with the team having to negotiate some thin layers of ice. The first stop for the night is Shingra where the team camps. Periodic oxygen level checks are performed by the trek company to ensure that everyone is good health. The trek continues through some magnificent terrain, covering icy sheets to frozen streams. The stop of the day is at Tibb caves, a point of meeting of two mountain ranges. The team also enjoy some good vegetarian food along with Thukpa, the tibetan soupy noodles. The final day of the onward journey ends at Nerak waterfalls - a frozen waterfall that is one of the iconic points of the trek at over 11,000 ft. The return journey is along the same path but on th other side of the frozen river bank. The team enjoys interacting with the local porters and share some hummable songs and the evergreen calls of Julley!

"Global warming is changing the Himalayas faster than any other region of the world, outside the polar caps," says documentary photographer Neeta Satam.      She has made three working treks to the isolated village of Kumik, in the Zanskar valley of Kashmir, where village life, family relations and culture is endangered as climatic shifts remove water from a people who've lived in balance in this region for thousands of years. "Where should we go?" is one of many stories Satam relates through her perceptions as an environmental scientist, and now through her mastery with a camera lens. Satam's compassion, insight and courage illuminate her work, as she strives to make the world aware of impacts of Climate Change on human beings in places being hardest hit.
