Whilst I was in Ladakh, North India, I spent a good deal of my time there with a Canadian guy, Marty Hughes. He was filming his travels and the country I'd like to thank him for passing on a copy of the finished film. Whats great about this video for me is that I was literally right next to the camera for large portions of it - so if anyone wants a sense of what it was like to be there, this is as close as you are likely to get.

The name of the film is taken from a title of a group from the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of India, called Project Himank. They have constructed roads in some of the most inhospitable conditions on earth, including the worlds highest motorable road (picture below). The video is in MP4 format so you will need a player of some description that supports this. If you don't have one I recommend VLC. The video is about 60MB and around 8 minutes long. Thanks to Marty again, here it is...
