suggest the following plan of action for future reference and research.
Suggested plan of action
Continue collection of literature on Ashtapad. Continue bringing out further volumes. Study and add literature on Bon Po and Zian, check if some reference is there about Aadinath, Rushabhdev, Ashtapad, Nirgranth- Shraman- Jainism.
Study and add information and translate references from Tibetan language (Kanjur Tanjur books, Bon Po books & others)
Geological studies.

Government level coordination- India /China/ Nepal / USA and other countries like Switzerland / Germany etc.
Continue research tours & expedition every other year at a scientific level.
Establish Ashtapad Research Foundation/ by laws/ funding.
Quarterly newsletter to publish or e-mail messages to send.
Have more meetings/lectures / seminars and exhibitions on Ashtapad.
Visit other places like Sikkim, Nepal, Mysore, Dharamshala, Tibet, Uttarkashi. Study historical background of that time specially political, religious and cultural. Construction of Ashtapad Tirth made in gem stones as per description in scriptures at New York and in India.
Any other suggestions.
Proposed Research Team for Future
I wish to suggest that the following people should make up the next team. If one can coordinate with National Geographic people and Discovery channel people it will be much better.
