The Great Himalaya Trail (43/59)

The Great Himalaya Trail (43/59)

Treks don't get any higher than this and they don't get any longer: the longest, most difficult and highest trekking tour in the world winds its way across the Himalayas. Anyone looking for an extreme physical experience will not be disappointed. The individual sections of the Great Himalaya Trail total more than 10,000 km in length, making it the largest high-Alpine trail network on earth. This documentary from the "Distant Journeys" series explores the Great Himalaya Trail and seeks answers to questions such as: why is the number of nervous breakdowns on holiday at its highest in the Himalayas? How thick is thin air and how much oxygen does one need for a high-altitude rush?
