Nanda Devi Women’s Festival 2007

The Fourth Annual Nanda Devi Women’s Festival was held in Lata village on Indian Republic Day. More low key than previous years, the festival however acknowledged a year of rapid progress towards the goals of the Mountain Shepherds Initiative with the holding of the Nanda Devi Inaugural Women’s Trek in the fall. As usual, the Indian tricolour was raised with a traditional gathering of village women to share a year’s worth of reflections and accomplishments.
