Backpacking & Climbing in Ladakh, India

This is a video slideshow of a 5 week backpacking & climbing trip through Ladakh, India (Jammu & Kashmir province). First part of the trip was a trek from Darcha to Padum over 5000m+ passes through the heart of the remote Himalayan kingdom of Zanskar. Next stop was the town of Leh from which we undertook several side trips, e.g. a climb of 6120m Stok Kangri and a ride on a scooter up the world's highest motorable road. Overall an incredible journey through India's unknown 'little Tibet'.

What excellent work !, I think this is fantastic, why not be another Alan Wicker, be on TV,what tallent!you could earn big money have a career in world travel all paid by the BBC.

Small criticism,accompneying music could be snippets of actual music of that wonderful country, and you could try comentry in placs. You could also make DVDs for sale, I would be the first in line to buy and I am sure millions of others too will as well.

Thanks for sharing this with us - fabulous work ! more please.

I tried looking for this song. Can't find anywhere on tube or the web. Are you sure the name of the band is "Iris" and that the name of the song is " I begin to fall" ?
