Welcome to the journal HIMALAYA. Volume 31, Number 1 and 2 (2011) was published in September 2012 and has been sent to all subscribers and members. The most recent issue that is available online for free is Volume 30, Number 1 (2011). In due course, we hope to shorten or even remove this 'moving wall' between publication and online dissemination. Thank you, the editors.
