• 120 glaciers in the western Himalaya were monitored.
Most of the glaciers in the region are retreating.
• Average rate of retreat 15 m/year in the last two decades
(1994-2015).
• Lake terminating glaciers are retreating faster. Parbati
glacier in the Parbati valley was found to be retreating
alarmingly at a rate of 43m/year from 1994 to 2017.
