Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
China has banned climbing on the Tibetan side of Mount Everest for this next autumn season. They cite “problems” which include an “illegal” north-south traverse by a Polish climber last month. There are reports of the Chinese authorities complaining about climbers placing the Tibetan flag and photos of HH the Dalai Lama on the summit of Everest earlier this year. Climbing from the Nepal side should be unaffected.
