The Zanskar Valley: Reaching the Forbidden Monasteries at 5,000m | GEDEON DOC

#ladakh #himalayas #trekking

After crossing the first high mountain passes, Carine and Showkat finally reach the legendary Zanskar Valley. At over 5,000 meters (16,000 ft), this is where Ladakh reveals its true spiritual and human heart.

From ancient monasteries clinging to vertical cliffs to icy river crossings and encounters with high-plateau nomads, follow their breath-taking journey through the "Roof of the World." A daily struggle of endurance rewarded by the profound serenity of a world that time forgot.
