Tibet and the Himalayas -- Rooftop of
the World
This page is intended to be a resource
to complement a three week unit on the geography, religions and cultures of
the Himalayan region. The text that is used concentrates very heavily
on South Asia with very little devoted to the mountain regions. "Fifty million
people live in the mountains and gain their livelihood from them. Several
hundred million more live within sight of the Himalaya, or among places that
are inextricably tied to them in ecological ways." (Himalaya: Life on the
Edge of the World)
