    Accompanied by his cousin, he travels for several days on an initiatory path marked by funny situations, unexpected, spiritual, disturbing or fascinating encounters: a path to enlightenment.

    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.

      In the beginning I thought this documentary is somewhere in Nepal but after reading your comment I understand this documentary is from laddakh so heart touching I can understand the real life of the people residing at Himalayes. In your comments you have stated that now Laddakh is different than the 90s lots of things have been changed roads have been widened lots of care you can see on the road and a days peoples are not wearing old fashion. In my view it's good to improve ourselves new generation need to change themselves take high level education but in other hand once we loosed our tradition very difficult to get back. I have experienced in our culture our traditional and national dresses Daura Suruwal is hard to get in the market. If you wish to weare on special occasions like marriage ceremony very difficult to find tailor in the market.After hard searching if you find they are very expensive. Another thing the price of cloths are expensive.adays we have to pay nearly 10 thousands or more nepali rupees were as other ordinary dresses like pant shirts are very cheap if you spend 5,000.00 nepali rupees you can get pants shits and even good Jacket at 5,000.00 Therefore I would suggest we should save our tradition as well as the people who can stitch those dresses.I afraid running behind foreign language and tradion one day we will forget our language and tradion there will be Mr. Urgen instead of lovely young Urgen who like to skying on the Ice field. I am from Dharan Nepal watching this documentary video in my samsung mobile.

    Not very long ago Japanese life was like that. (I'm 73 yr old Japanese) I remember life was still
    very tough when I was around his age. Of course partially due to losing the war and recovering
    from nothing but it wasn't far off from people in small villages, transportations were poor and
    slow. Poor people used to send (sell) children to indentured services etc. It was common
    practice only a decade before I was born.
    Japan has changed so much even during my life time and has come a long way to a point
    it's totally alien now. It still retains a lot of tradition but in very tidy up and clean images.
    It really wasn't all that beautiful but rather quite sad for those on bottom of the social radder
    then.
    i saw some of people I used to know in my child hood like people in this documentary how
    they are intently listening and believing soothsayer or the priest/monk. Yes black magic.

      The biggest advantage of traditional lifestyle is that there is less stress and generally a happy life.
      In rich modern societies also life is hard for those at the bottom.
      Some people become monks after highly accomplished life , there are incidents of even harvard graduates becoming monks. Google & IBM invite some of the famous monks to their campus to give talks because monks have a different kind of spiritual & psychological knowledge . Superstition is largely ignored because it is not that harmful and it is not part of core teachings , nobody forces anybody to believe in superstition. Even Buddha asked people to believe only in things that is useful to them and harmless for others.

      @@jayyoo906 I am a European and have lived in a Buddhist country for over 20 years, by tradition boys spend time in the monastery, it is a form of discipline, also families consider it an honour, also grown men will sometimes shave their heads and take up the robes. In many homes I see photos of family members wearing the robes proudly displayed on the wall. That young boy if unhappy in the monastery will be allowed to leave without any shame, the life of a monk is not suitable for everyone.

    I loved this documentary, it's so authentic, simple and beautiful. I would love to go back to that kind of innocence and purity where we can trust people, modern society is just not like that anymore. It's a hard life though. I have visited Hill Tribe villages in Myanmar and Thailand, and I still visit them sometimes in the mountains. I love the people, traditional costumes, and customs. They live close to mother nature and her rhythms and have rich communities that help each other. The young boy, Ugan was playful and cute, I wonder if he is still in the monastery and if he ever sees his family. In Thailand and Burma sometimes monks don't stay monks for the rest of their lives.
