MYSTERIOUS AND CHALLENGING The programme 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 o
f India. 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 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 programme presents 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. The programme portrays the villager’s life and how the sacred Buddhist faith has lead to an unusual relationship between man and animal. The episode will be on air on Discovery Channel on December 29 at 8 p.m.
