Bringing Light to the Mountains

from The Nordic Journey · host Hjortur Smarason

Paras Loomba is a trained military officer and electrical engineer - and an award winning sustainable tourism leader, almost by accident. Paras is joining us today to talk about his expedition company Global Himalayan Expeditions or GHE, where he takes groups of people into the remote Himalayan mountains bringing not just tourists and currency, but also electricity, light and community development to those mountains. A truly regenerative tourism company. Today, many of the villages offer Homestays, enabled by the opportunities and income GHE has brought to those remote, mountain communities. Listen to the story of Paras and the Himalayan villages.
