Hidden Tibetan Buddhist monastery | Our World: Return to Zanskar | BBC full doc
(Danny Bull) This is a journey into the heart of the Zanskar Valley, following two travelers who are returning after 30 years. It is a region lost in time with centuries-old monasteries built into rock faces and caves. This film looks at the unique Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist culture of Zanskar and how the local people are dealing with change following road construction into their once isolated valley.
Viewers end up at one of the most stunning Buddhist monasteries on the Zanskar river, Phuktal Gompa, sometimes spelled Phugtal, where there was a unique prayer ceremony in progress and an opportunity to speak to monks (lamas) who have lived there for decades.
