How it feels

This documentary shows how villagers in Zanskar, a valley in the Indian Himalayas, survive a harsh winter. Their only link to the outside world is a dangerous 120 kilometer walk on a frozen river called the Chadar route.

What happens

Chadar, the Ice Trail is een bergfilm van Jean-Michel Corillion uit het jaar 2010. De film toont het leven van de bewoners in Zanskar, een verborgen vallei in de Indiase Himalaya in de Indiase provincie Ladakh. Dit gebied is tijdens de acht maanden durende winter volledig afgesloten. Het enige contact met de buitenwereld kan gelegd worden door een gevaarlijke tocht over de 120 kilometer lange bevroren rivier, de Chadar route. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
