The Silver Award for Grassroot Heroes goes to Tsewang Dorje!
Raised on the banks of the Pangong Tso in a village called Maan, which still relies on a single V Sat phone, Tsewang Dorje has blazed many a trail in the last few years. A key local team member of Global Himalayan Expedition (GHE) in Ladakh, Dorje has not only helped generate sustainable livelihoods by setting up homestays and supporting local entrepreneurs in his own village, but also in several other remote rural areas. In Maan, he’s also part of a community-led astrotourism project.
