- Water scarcity for villages and lodges; springs drying
- Biodiversity shifts (species moving upslope), invasive species, forest fires
- Livelihoods: agriculture/yak-herding disrupted; tourism dependency increases risk
- Adaptation: buffer-zone programs, ecotourism, disaster preparedness, guide role in responsible trekking
