Abstract
The Himalayas is serious victim of climate change. Melting ice and decreasing ice reserves indicate a disastrous future for those who rely on the Himalayas for water sources. The impacts are already visible in the form of flash floods, GLOF and unpredictable monsoon. Results are declining agricultural production, scarcity of water resources and deterioration of human health.
