Darjeeling Himalaya Initiative, Sikkim Chapter of Integrated Mountain Initiative and KTV bring important stories of women who have moved mountains from various fields from the Sikkim- Darjeeling Himalaya. What has been the inspiration, the journey, successes and challenges in moving mountains? What are their lessons along the way for others?

These conversations are part of the International Mountain Day,11 December, with the theme of Women Move Mountains Mountain Partnership. The story of our mountains cannot be told without the contribution of women. Women in the mountains have persevered to occupy spaces, break barriers and create narratives for themselves, and these stories need to be heard and recorded.
