Our Purpose
The ethereally high altitudes and arduous terrain of the Himalaya instil a sense of awe — an otherworldliness that’s majestic yet vulnerable. Its magnificence has, in equal parts, challenged intrepid explorers, and sheltered its own people and cultures, cultivating a way of life that is unique, warm, and unparalleled in its harmony with the natural world.
The Himalayan Way of Life is the ancient wisdom of nurturing and sustaining the balance between our natural world and human needs; a seamless approach to co-creating in partnership with nature.
The earliest texts about the creation of our world articulate the primordial elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether as the building blocks of our planet. The Himalayan Way of Life is about understanding, exploring and reenergising their interconnectedness with human health and wellbeing.
The resilience of the Himalayan ecosystem is a source of great hope for humankind. Preserving the Himalayan Way of Life can help make the planet at large more liveable in the face of the mounting global climate crisis.
At Himalayan Essence, we are passionate about conserving and restoring the Himalayan ecosystem through nature-based solutions. By collaborating with small-holding farmers in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), we work towards amalgamating the ancient wisdom of traditional regenerative agricultural practices with modern technology, tools and markets.
We at Himalayan Essence are inspired by these five Sustainable Development Goals
Zero Hunger
Good Health & well-being
Responsible Consumption & Production
Climate
Action
Life on Land
NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS
The answers to the conundrums of restoring and protecting our natural world lie in nature too. Nature-based solutions offer the unique path of simultaneously pursuing planetary and human well-being. From expanding nature reserves to restoring ecosystems rich in species such as the Himalaya, nature-based solutions can boost biodiversity, reabsorb carbon, and address the need for local livelihood, and nutrition for consumers.
