(Internet monthly newsletter catering to over 10,000 Himalayan lovers)
In 2001, Capt. M.S. Kohli, Chairman, Himalayan Environment Trust, mooted the idea of bringing out an online journal periodically. A senior journalist, Yogendra Bali and a scout leader R.S. Somi, agreed to take up the assignment and responsibility. It was decided that Bali will guide and provide his expertise whenever needed. The first issue was brought out immediately under the name 'HIMALAYAS ONLINE' and since then it has been emailed every quarter to almost 10,000 beneficiaries. This online journal consists of news and notes as well as small write-ups on the environmental issues concerning all the Himalayan countries viz. India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Burma and China. The source of the information for compilation is various newspapers, periodicals and other information received at the HET. The same is edited and fine-tuned to the requirement of 'HIMALAYAS ONLINE' by R.S. Somi. This has not only promoted the objectives of the HET but had been disseminating knowledge of the Himalayan geography, geology, climate change, flora and fauna, developmental activities, culture and people. The HIMALAYAS ONLINE has atrracted praise from all quarters.
