Himalaya with Michael Palin

 


A thoroughly engaging and important watch, You not only get to see the Kalash people of Pakistan, The Executioner Chief of the Naga, guns and dentistry in Pakistan, and the Elephant Conservationist in India I must say it is a really big world, But No one could have better navigated through the Himalayas with better humor, and sarcasm with such wonderful crew and cameraman like Michael "Plain" 

The world is such a beautiful place, You get to see a world they don't actually show you in the mainstream medias, twice as nostalgic because it was twenty years ago, The loss of the boathouses in Kashmir, The hills of Pakistan, Uphill Polo in Chador Pass, The Flower Room of the Mamu People, Little Lhasa in India and those beautiful monks of the Vishnu Monastery It makes you realize how big and diversely interesting the world is. I watched it twice, and it's a six path series with the order starting from North By Northwest and ending with Bhutan to the Bay of Bengal 





I kept thinking what strong constitution, What a stomach this man has, He ate every food, This goes straight to the criterion collection for me, It is a revelation.
