School among Glaciers plot

This documentary follows a schoolteacher on his way to Lunana, in one of Bhutan's most inhospitable valleys. A challenging journey of 14 days, over narrow mountain trails and high mountain passes, including the eerie Gangla Karchung Pass at 5200m altitude. Staying in Lunana is at least as challenging as the journey there. Conditions at 4500m above sea level are rough. Only (semi)nomadic tribes such as the Layaps and Lunaps live here.
