World's Greatest Journeys: Treks | PBS America

[@maria-yr4jq]

PBS is the best channel, still producing quality documentaries when we have those nonsensical reality tv!

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

Try DW also, it's the German PBS, they produced high quality documentary on various topics weekly in English, Spanish etc

I just did my first trek, finishing the Annapurna Circuit at 60 in winter. I am over the moon and love to see this PBS show!

[@simonugust8223]

how long did it take you and where did you start and finish?

[@humbertsmith8864]

@@simonugust8223 I started in Besisahar and finished in Tatopani. I realize the historic route is longer but I was one of the rare few who actually started at the start.

[@humbertsmith8864]

@@simonugust8223 Sorry...it took 20 days, and it was 240k including side trips and some out of the way trails.

You should include Trans-Bhutan Trek! It takes 31 days passing through some of the most mystical Himalayan Jungles bedecked with permanently snow-laden mountains, lakes, rivers, various forests, far-flung villages frozen in time, and some wonderfully hospitable people.

Himalayan Pine Trees soil roads and Nepalese/ Zebalese/ Ashcovered foot- feet- Faces - hands who saved their tribes and features with full limbed journey with bamboo forest boat children must be us!!

Very informative

[@saruultumen749]

Why no mention of Patagonia?

[@matthew-jy5jp]

Best 📺 on 📺 hands down.

[@tiffh52]

An excellent video but jeez an advertisement every 3 minutes? A bid excessive,No?

[@karipintakivi9153]

At 47:12 Tengboche being the largest monastery in Solu-Khumbu. Not true at all. Thupten Choling monastery north of Jumbesi has over 400 Sangha which is at least five times more than in Tengboche.

[@karipintakivi9153]

At 42:20 "ever since EH & TN reached its summit it has attracted trekkers like moths to a flame"... Haha, first trekkers ever to Khumbu came ten years later and considerable numbers did not appear until the seventies. It took twenty years to get the trekking business going. Very few expeditions also, next one from the Nepalese side after the Hunt expedition was in 1963. When I went there in 1985 there were only two expeditions. Maybe few hundred trekkers in the whole Khumbu during the spring peak season.

17:26 seriously, Chinese instrumental music over the Mt. Fuji (Japan) segment?? smh I expected better from you, PBS 🤦‍♀

[@stevenlester2606]

The rather stunted narration was written by Sorrel Wilby, who also produced and directed the documentary. His best phrasing of this episode? Suggesting that we should visit the Buddhists just for “soaking in the sanctity”. I’ll bet he was proud of that!

[@robertforrester578]

pbs AMERICA . . . . . .why in the world would you have a narrator with with a British accent ?

[@travelswithted]

Americans seem to think a British accent means a person is smart or believable. It's common on tv commercials too. It is puzzling

[@robertforrester578]

@@travelswithted I say Good Fellow, pip pip, cheerio, and all that sort off rot.

[@davidj8658]

Walking in a slow moving line up Mt. Fuji world’s greatest treks ? Travel to Rwanda and Mexico, corrupt, dangerous places to see animals endangered by locals. Te Araora, Milford Track, Everest Base Camp, yup, most of the others, odd choices.
