They invite us to discover who are these women and men who live on these land altitude. Cut off from the rest of the world several months a year because of the altitude and the gel, the Zanskarpas fascinate us and teach us humility through their ability to adapt and their solidarity. Beyond borders, a trip to Zanskar challenges our own limits.
