Edited and published by Kanak Mani Dixit from May 1987 onwards, Himal was an English language monthly on the Himalayas with a particular focus on development and the environment.
While this important magazine eventually grew into Himal South Asian, which maintains its own extensive online archives,
back issues of Himal were increasingly hard to come by.
The Digital Himalaya project continues to work collaboratively with staff at the Himal
Association in Kathmandu to scan and digitise back issues of this journal.
On account of the compression format we have used for the PDF files, we
advise that you install the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat which
can be downloaded by clicking here.
Using optical character recognition (OCR) software, we been able to
reconstruct a text layout from the PDF. If you own a registered version
of Microsoft Word, you may want to download the text file since it is
smaller in size than the PDF and also searchable.
