HimalPartner, formerly the Norwegian Tibet Mission (Norwegian: Den Norske Tibetmisjonen), is a Norwegian missionary organization active in Christian vocational missions in Tibet and Nepal.
HimalPartner traces its beginnings back to the departure of the pioneer missionaries in 1938,[1] when Edin Cornelius Alfsen and David Westborg traveled to eastern Tibet.
[2][3][4] Many missionary supporters in Norway backed them with financial help.
Just over a decade later, China invaded Tibet and the Chinese takeover put a stop to further missionary work.
This made all attempts at traditional missionary work in Tibet impossible.
