Discover Ladakh
MYSTERIOUS AND CHALLENGING The programmes will give an intriguing perspective of the place
Discovery Channel is presenting a show on Ladakh called “Ladakh – the Land of Passes”. Ladakh – Desert in the Skies and The Forbidden Wilderness will highlight the extraordinary occurrences of the least populated region of Ind
ia. Ladakh is nestled between the mightiest mountain ranges in the world, the Karakoram in Northwest and the Himalayas in the South. Even though the vegetation is sparse and air is oxygen starved, man and animal species have uniquely adapted to survive in this rarefied land.
The secret of Ladakh’s fascination lies in its cultural similarities with Tibet, inaccessibility, land locked lakes, peculiar fauna and flora and scenic splendour as mountain desert. Ladakh is a region which is both mysterious and challenging. The two programmes present an insight into the civilization, animal life and cultures and give viewers an intriguing perspective of the place. Produced by the Bedi Brothers, the shows successfully capture some unique sequences with the Snow Leopard and Tibetan Lynx, perhaps photographed for the first time. With changing seasons the programmes portray the villager’s life and how the sacred Buddhist faith has lead to an unusual relationship between man and animal. The two premiere episodes will air tonight on Discovery Channel and on December 29 at 8 p.m.
