The author also expresses concern about the impact of climate change on the Himalayan region, highlighting the rapid melting of glaciers and their potential consequences for local communities and ecosystems. The Trip calls for increased awareness and action to ensure a sustainable future for the Himalayas. The author urges readers to experience the beauty of the Himalayas while actively participating in efforts to safeguard their natural heritage for future generations.
