Have you ever thought about how the ancient pilgrimage routes across the Himalayas shaped the landscapes and ecosystems we hike today? The way those routes cut through the mountains affected the spread of plant species, the patterns of human settlement, and even the modern routes that eco‑tourists now follow. What’s your take on how history and nature intertwine in those high‑altitude trails?
Absolutely, those ancient trails weren’t just paths—they were living corridors, and as pilgrims carved their way, they brought seeds and culture, reshaping valleys. Now hikers follow the same lines, and the ecosystems we see are the result of centuries of that dance, a reminder that nature and history walk hand in hand.
