Summary: Apart from assaying the damage to environment, the present work underlines that development in high altitude regions must recognize the need to harmonize socio-economic planning with eco-preservation and eco generation. With the Himalayas as its focus, the work examines the changing patterns of settlement, land use planning, watershed management, forestry, energy systems and life styles. The role of monasteries and shrines in the traditional and contemporary perspectives is also discussed together with the legacy of the Himalayas in the context of history, art and religion. How cultural heritage and cultural traits interact with all other variables or impinge on man-mountain kinship are the other crucial issues to which this work addresses itself.
