The Himalaya Collective is an open-source platform for individuals and organisations living and working in the Western Himalayan regions of India in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
Strengthening the Himalayas and its communities is not a job for any one organisation or individual. We believe that working together while sharing ideas, insights, and resources with each other is the best way forward for inclusive, sustainable and context-specific development of the Himalayas.
If you believe in this idea, then you’re already a part of The Himalaya Collective. Welcome aboard!
The collective emerged out of deliberations of the Western Himalayan Vikalp Sangam in 2019.
What is the Western Himalayan Vikalp Sangam?
The Western Himalaya Vikalp Sangam (WHVS) is a platform connecting people and organizations focused on alternatives in Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Part of the broader Vikalp Sangam, it has been active since 2016. WHVS fosters collaboration for problem-solving and knowledge-sharing across the Western Himalayan region. It promotes co-creation, resource-sharing, and supports alternative development models, aiming to build an inclusive, collective vision through cross-learning and documenting diverse narratives.
