Hi Ankit - do encourage excellent candidates who completed Masters study earlier this year to apply 😀 We should be returning to Uttarakhand in mid-March - perhaps catch you then!
Excited to share our new study showing that permafrost in Europe's mountains has warmed by more than 1 °C per decade in certain places, matching the levels in Arctic lowlands www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Was in the same situation several years ago. Solution was a three-day hike from Lukla to Bhandar (27.572, 86.352) then a 13-hour jeep ride back to Kathmandu! Tough going, but the landscapes were incredible! Good luck!
