April 9 Meeting Speaker: Harish Kapadia
Harish Kapadia has made a unique contribution to knowledge of the
Himalaya: as editor of the Himalayan Journal, one of the most authoritative
and comprehensive records of exploratory activity in the Himalaya;
through his numerous books and as a leader and organizer of countless
expeditions over the years. His books and works on the Himalaya are
erudite and practical, skillfully combining historical, geographical and
practical guidance to increase our understanding of the region.
As an expedition leader, he has initiated a series of joint expeditions
with climbers from the United Kingdom, France, Japan and the United
States to explore and climb throughout the Indian Himalaya. The quality
of exploration and the full and detailed reports that he has issued have
provided superb background information about these areas.
Furthermore, Harish has been a tireless campaigner for the resolution
of the Kashmir conflict through the Siachen Peace Park initiative in the
Karakoram region. He is an outstanding modern explorer in the finest
traditions of the great Himalayan pioneers.
Harish is Honorary Member of several leading Alpine Clubs : London,
Japan, American and Polish. He has received the Patron’s (Royal)
Medal of the Royal Geographic Society (UK), King Albert Gold Medal
(Switzerland) and Joss Lynam Medal (Ireland). He was honored by the
President of India with the Tensing Norgay Adventure Award for Life Time
Achivemnts.
