“I don’t think less snowfall means good, because what would become of these mountains if there is no snow? The name ‘Himal’ (mountain) will have no meanings if they lose snows, the name will be lost in future. Also most of the foreigners from all over the place appreciate these snowcapped mountains and for us also they are the symbols of good fortune. But if these mountains have no snow cover then the very essence of these mountains will be lost. We will be heartbroken if such things happen.” Tashi Dhindu Lama, Chairman of the Forest Management sub-committee in Chame
