Pad Yatra

A stunningly beautiful, multiple award-winning film that captures an incredible journey of 700 monks to some of the most treacherous landscapes of the Himalayas to help save the 'Third Pole' from chaos.

Led by HH Gyalwang Drukpa, the monks traverse 450 miles through the ice-capped region, braving the sub-zero temperatures at 17,000ft altitude, near-death scenarios and starvation. They return with more than half a ton of plastic garbage.

Shot with a solar-powered camera, the film is narrated by Daryl Hannah and executive produced by Michelle Yeoh.
