The Himalayas

The Himalayas stretches across five countries, but its diversity lies in its vertical differences, which range from glaciers to jungle. “The Himalayas” is an unforgettable look at a region few ever see, a documentary that will have you longing to climb up to the roof of the world yourself. Part 1, “Land of the Snow Leopard,” chronicles our attempts to spot the elusive big cat that characterizes this inhospitable region. In Part 2, “From the Jungle to the Snow,” our camera crew goes the breadth of this 2400-kilometer long mountain chain to witness the diversity of ecological and environmental zones. In Part 3, “Nature Protected by God,” our focus turns more heavily to the people who live in this storied land and the culture they have developed.
