I'M HEADED FOR THE HIMALAYAS!!!

This summer, as part of the Global Programme initiative, we are bringing to you the Himalayan Expedition 2006.

In this fieldtrip, you get to travel to the township of Dehradun and Tuini in the Himalaya with our Biodiversity and Conservation Biology lecturer, Prof. Pandit. Through this trip, you will explore the biodiversity of Himalaya’s ecological systems and the sustainability issues of modern development.

Fieldwork will be carried out in two phases. In the first phase, all participants will undergo an orientation programme on the activities of the Himalayan Action Research Center (HARC), an NGO based in Dehradun.

In the second phase, you will travel to a high altitude Himalayan region known as Tuini where you will gain hands on experience in the field. There will also be presentations by the local and regional planning and development authorities and heads of some of the leading NGO’s involved in sustainable developmental work.

During the fieldtrip, USP students will have the chance to visit the following sites:

Wildlife Institute of India
Valley of Flowers
Primary Health Centers
Apple Growers in high altitude areas
Micro Hydel Project
GRAMYA Project of Uttranchal Decentralized Watershed Development Project
Nehru Institute of Mountaineering
Others

this holiday sudden looks ALOT more exciting!
it's never been better being a USP student, not that its ever not been good. i still don't see why people choose not to apply.
