Best 📺 on 📺 hands down.
I love PBS. Thank you for all your amazing programs
PBS is the best channel, still producing quality documentaries when we have those nonsensical reality tv!
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!
I love PBS documentaries – informative and entertaining.
42:15 "border of Tibet and Nepal"
Bravo PBS
Good work
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.
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.
Hi
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH…)
Why no mention of Patagonia?
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!
