I had a childhood friend. His name was also Urgen! The boy reminded me of him. Bless him. Also please put subtitle inside of voice over. We love to hear their language.
-
This young man touched my heart when he teased his friend about falling. In that moment he was just a little kid! I’m praying he found much happiness and peace.

What a wonderful story...I'm a tv producer in mainstream media and my dream is to go freelance and tell stories that really matter such as this one! It's informative, inspiring and so important for the world to see. Thank you Slice..Love from Nairobi, Kenya

Being a resident of ladakh ,it seems that documentary is shoot more than 20 years back . Now the life has changed totally , more car on the road can be seen , road are widening more than enough and people are not wearing traditional dress gonches and head top . It was marvelous to remind of that beautiful golden era of ladakh, thank for uploading again.

They are making THUKPA, that is the special soup, not STUPA, which is the sacred monument with a square base, round middle and spired top, found in the village as a Buddhist sacred shrine to the earth, water, fire, wind and space of the material realm. Just thought it good to clarify, but so happy to see this lovely documentary. Have a long standing connection to Ladakh and have visited Zanskar, too! Jullay ju!

Urgan and Norbu are beautiful kids. Their story is simple and yet so beautiful. I pray for their success in attaining happy blessed lives. Such amazing views!
-
Thank you for this beautiful and humbling documentary! Just imagine Urgan walking five days to reach the monastery and Norbu a round trip of ten days to get home! I have great respect for these people living in such harsh conditions. May Urgan and Norbu be always healthy and happy.

Urgan as a child who loves to play cricket..... The best part is "Master do you know haw to play cricket".... His Master smiled at him....
-
That little boy will always remember his lovely cousin and his first journey to the monastery!

As someone from neighboring state of himachal , mountains are my first love . I will always come back into her lap I always regret not learning my mother tongue and unable to communicate with my grandma. It is sad to see how few people live in these places nowadays but you cannot blame. Everyone wants better life .

I am from Karantaka, South India. Having travlled to Ladakh twice in last 5 years, I really enjoy watching your wonderful videos and recall my sweet memories in Ladakh. Thank you.

I had a good laugh when Urgan asked his spiritual master if he likes to play cricket. He’s a bubbly & curious kid. I wish him well in his quest of becoming a Buddhist llama. I am enormously impressed with this boy following what his family wanted him to be—a llama. My daughter rebelled when my wife & I told her that we wanted her to be a nurse, like my sister. :-)
-
I just can't stop smiling when asking his master if he knows how to play...oohhhh bless this young boy
-
Urgan is such a charming boy, innocent, vulnerable and brave too. I wonder how he is able to come to terms with moving away from his family, friends and his favourite game -cricket! Something so unimaginable at his age. God bless him always.
-
It is a very well made documentary... But as a mother of three children, I cannot help but to feel empathy for this young child 💕
-
I discovered this channel 2 days ago and I love it, can't get enough of Tibetan / Himalayas documentaries. I suggest Zanskar land of women, from this channel + the one about the hidden caves of Mustang, not on this channel but it is my favorite
-
Thank you! I enjoy watching this type of documentaries, I "travel" without leaving my house and it enriches my life. I visited Tibet about 15 years ago and my life was impacted forever.

Such a beautiful film. Thank you for bringing this to me. I love that part of the world. I spent some time in the northern Himilayas and trekking to some distant Villages back in the early seventies. Things have changed a lot since then. My experiences and the people I met and stayed with in Far distant Villages are memories I shall never forget. Maybe my next life I can go back. But right now the mountains of East Tennessee will be my home till I leave this life.
