The Ice Walkers: Surviving on the Frozen Zanskar River | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

The Zanskar is a small, almost forgotten valley surrounded by the Himalayas. When the snow-covered mountain passes are inaccessible, people are cut off from the outside world. Except for a frozen stream. The 120 km (75 miles) path is extremely dangerous. Meet the men, women and children who risk their lives to get to school, deliver goods and carry supplies on this scary ice trail.

Should never complain about anything in life other than appreciated and say THANK YOU LORD ❤❤.

[@Bettinasisrg]

Any person who says they're tough and strong need to watch this and then think! Some of them so young and old put well fed young men to shame. I wish I could give them all enough for a comfortable year without such hardships. Thank you for sharing their stories of life it has taught many, me included!
