19th Girimitra Sammelan: “Transformations in Mountaineering” (Annual Convention of Mountain Lovers)

 Save as PDF

Greeting friends,
There’s a saying, “Change is the only constant in life”. We all have experienced the changes in our journey through evolution and civilisation. Some changes are natural and some are man-made. Mountaineering is no exception to that. In the earlier days, mountaineering happened through routine work, trade and commerce, wars and even pilgrimages. Around the middle of the 20th century mountaineering transformed into an adventure sport.

Quite a few changes have taken place especially in the pristine environment that we mountaineers often find solace. Science and technology has had profound effect on the way mountaineering is done today. Adventure tourism emerged on the horizon as a part of the transformation and so did commercial mountaineering expeditions.

We owe it to ourselves to take a pause and analyse all the transformation going on around us, especially in the mountaineering field. It is worth checking where we stand today and the direction that we are following, which brings us to the central theme of this year’s Girimitra Sammelan,”𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜”.

Certainly time will tell how these transformations have affected us but we certainly need to analyse and document these changes in an attempt to see the direction where we are headed. All this will be covered in the presentation related to the central theme.
