Zanskar is an ancient realm in the heart of the Himalayas. In this isolated enclave, the highest populated valley in the world, 12 000 Zanskaris live in total autarky. To put an end to this isolation, the Indian government has launched one of its most spectacular construction sites. Hanging on the cliff face, following the meanders of the Zanskar River, the road is progressing very slowly. The works apparently started 40 years ago, but the means employed are inadequate. For the inhabitants of Zanskar, the wait is endless and many despair of seeing the road reach them one day.
Yet Zanskar is getting ready to open its doors to the world and may undergo some major upheavals much earlier than planned! Because one man alone, has also decided to built a road. This man is neither an engineer, nor a millionaire, and even less a visionary! His name is Tsultrim Chonjor, he’s 78 years old and he’s a Buddhist monk! Tsultrim has been using a bulldozer to dig through the mountain for two years. Nothing seems to be able to stop this very atypical monk, who’s about to cross the Shingo La Pass, over 5 000 metres above sea level. Everyone admires Tsultrim’s perseverance, but will he manage to open the road to Kargyak, the very first village to the south of Zanskar?

He’s building a road and none of the men he went to didn’t offer to help him financially 😢he’s doing a great job making it ❤❤❤

[@samuelschick8813]

Not only that. But not a single one volunteered labor.

[@storm2000808]

This road will bring jobs, and many other positive changes, it will also increase the economy of the region. 👌

[@johntsan742]

Calling this monk a great man is an understatement. Imagine what more he could have accomplished if he had more help from the start.

[@dawasvines6039]

Thanks for sharing the story of the old man God bless him More power to him!

[@stevekenilworth]

typical middle class westerner, all about them than seeing bigger picture. it sure help locals greatly and for those less able people disability's they can also get to see wild places. since my health turned for me to get to places i love to photograph i need a road, i even off road in my city car to get close as i can to planned location. the road opens up makes life better for locals and more accessible for more people as not all can walk for hours in high attitude i know i cannot but a road now can take me to places what was impossible. as a westerner im happy for locals and sure hope it makes life better for them

[@hitmanvr6]

Guys this is 2018 Documentary now Indian government and Border road organization has built roads in remotest Himalayas

[@lokmamumamu]

Ini sangat bermanfaat,di zaman sekarang kita harus punya akses khususnya jalan bisa menolong orang-orang sakit butuh tenaga medis dan perputaran uang akan berjalan seiring waktu ,

[@JustRAW555]

I wonder how old this documentry is. Because I visited zanskar just before 15 days and most of the zanskar now has good tarmac roads.

[@christinecillo1015]

The couple that were hiking the trail, were distraught by the thought of a road coming in, and destroying, what they feel, should remain untouched by modern technology. But, the people who actually live in these villages, want more access to goods, and doctors. Which would you choose? I for one, think that if the people wish for better access to the things they need, that takes a higher priority than destroying some flowers. lol

[@hitmanvr6]

100% this is THEIR land. You could see it in their faces when they spoke about how they cannot leave without a road even when sick. You can see the family and friends that have been lost because of how hard it is to get food, supplies, medicine and so on.

[@FreeDocumentary]

I agree. We all want access to things we need. They want access too. And they should get it.

[@Versatilad]

Agree 💯 that lundian guy hooked up with a white girl for passport and free money... It is greed we defy not need!

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

There's plenty of wilderness everywhere in the world. If you love nature that much, just go anywhere that hasn't been developed by humans. In the USA, go out of town & you're instantly hit with nature. So at most maybe 50-100 mile drive until you could become one with nature.

[@naturesmomentstv]

Balancing the conservation of nature and human needs is always a difficult decision. But do you think there is a way to develop without completely destroying the environment?

[@rickydiamzon7007]

[@kumbiektw]

I find it upsetting that some Westerners prefer to see some countries underdeveloped because it will ruin their preferred lifestyle of loving nature because their countries have developed way more to the extent they no longer wish to live there.Why would that woman say she hopes that the development of a road would not be a negative thing for the people when clearly it’s to allow them to travel safely as cut the long journeys…because she wants to escape from the life in her country?

[@Versatilad]

Agree 💯

[@VSNRhino]

Very good video, happy to interact with you to develop together.

[@williamkitunguzi6905]

No road= no plastics, no pollution, no environmental degradation, nature at peace. Some places should remain untouched at least. Humanity deserves no isolation.

[@Foxy1010]

he making this road for the community and no one even volunteer to help even just some labor? if they e help each other they will done much more shorter than plan. the sad reality is they will just be happy after the process of building the road ans will never acknowledge his dedication 🥲 he will havw a good place in heaven ❤

The vision and drive of a monk to advance his people. With a little help from Sir Joseph Bamford's ubiquitous excavator tractor. How that machine has brought progress across the Globe. Everywhere you see a JCB.

Govt should give him the money back that he spent

[@twitch54304]

43:50 you can tell this guy is pretty smart.

[@shamdoundyakhed5314]

It’s really mind boggling, that in a vast country with plenty of resources, a private citizen is responsible for providing infrastructure. Then it’s no wonder that India’s neighbors have easily annexed its territory by simply providing a better livelihood. Shame on the government of India!

[@twitch54304]

The cameraman could have told 35:24 that guy on the bike he dropped something earlier but I guess not interfering is what makes a good cameraman

[@maxineb9598]

Doesn't make him such a good person. He would have got great satisfaction and maybe footage if he had passed on the item. Instead the episode comes across as selfish. I haven got that far yet watching it but you don't need to watch it to pass judgment.

complaining about a road connecting villages with a mountain of flowers as a background. maybe turn around?

[@whaddoiknow6519]

This man is undoubtedly heroic, but today there is a road from Zanskar to Phuktal Gompa. Most of it has been built by the Border Roads Organization, and they also maintain it, clear boulders, snow and landslides. I don't see why the documentary makers felt they had to trash the efforts of this organization and the Indian taxpayer.

[@staywokecuhh]

I do not know 100%, but i did look it up. And it seems that the border org took over construction AFTER the documentary would have been there, and filming. The source i found for this, was the fact that Jigme Pema Wangchen went cycling with those nuns back in 2016. So it doesnt seem like an active attempt at undermining their efforts. But rather, a simple case of unfortunate timing.

[@whaddoiknow6519]

@@staywokecuhh Thank you for the info. I agree with you for the most part, and I wish the documentary would have said something about the date of filming. Still, I found the general lack of acknowledgement of the BRO a little unfair. They have been doing some pretty difficult work for several decades, well before 2016. A poor country like India needs to prioritize very carefully.
