himalayan tahr trek

Tenacious, sure-footed and rugged – no, it’s not a seasoned mountaineer embarking on an Everest Base Camp trek ; it’s the Himalayan tahr, a large goat-like creature that makes its home on the mountain slopes of the Himalaya. In actual fact, while the trekker and the tahr share these characteristics, it has a clear evolutionary advantage over us, with several adaptations making it one of the natural world’s best mountain-climbers.

It can be hard to get a close look at the generally wary Himalayan tahr on an Everest Base Camp trek, although you may see them bounding away with surprising sure-footedness over the rocky slopes. But those who have had the chance to examine them up close report that this mountain-savvy animal has some very useful characteristics. The most impressive of these is their hooves, nature’s own hiking boots: with rubbery cores, they are flexible enough to grip onto rocks, while their rims are thin and sharp, allowing them to wedge into narrow footholds. No wonder they’re so confident on surfaces that would make human climbers cautious!

Tahr spend the summer grazing at high altitude, and come lower down in the winter, forming mixed herds out of the way of the worst of the weather. To suit this pattern they grow a thick, dark red-brown winter coat, accompanied by a shaggy mane in the males; their summer coats are shorter and lighter.

As a species the tahr is considered near threatened, and may soon become a threatened species. An animal that seems to embody the spirit of Everest, it has been living peacefully for centuries in this challenging terrain and is well worthy of our protection – so be sure to treat their environment with respect on your Everest Base Camp trek.

Check out Moscow’s NEW electric river trams (PHOTOS)

himalayan tahr trek

Water transportation has become another sector for the eco-friendly improvements the Moscow government is implementing. And it means business. On July 15, 2021, on the dock of Moscow’s ‘Zaryadye’ park, mayor Sergey Sobyanin was shown the first model of the upcoming river cruise boat.

himalayan tahr trek

The model of the electrical boat with panoramic windows measures 22 meters in length. The river tram - as Muscovites call them - has a passenger capacity of 42, including two disabled seats. The trams will also get cutting edge info panels, USB docking stations, Wi-Fi, spaces for scooters and bicycles, as well as chairs and desks for working on the go. The boats will be available all year round, according to ‘Mosgortrans’, the regional transport agency. 

himalayan tahr trek

Passengers will be able to pay with their ‘Troika’ public transport card, credit cards or bank cards. 

The main clientele targeted are people living in Moscow’s river districts - the upcoming trams will shorten their travel time in comparison to buses and other transportation by five times, Mosgortrans stated. 

himalayan tahr trek

As the river trams are being rolled out, Moscow docks will also see mini-stations, some of which will also be outfitted with charging docks for speed-charging the boats.

Moscow is set to announce the start of the tender for construction and supply in September 2021. The first trams are scheduled to launch in June 2022 on two routes - from Kievskaya Station, through Moscow City, into Fili; and from ZIL to Pechatniki. 

himalayan tahr trek

“Two full-scale routes will be created in 2022-2023, serviced by 20 river trams and a number of river stations. We’ll continue to develop them further if they prove to be popular with the citizens,” the Moscow mayor said .
