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.
I had a childhood friend. His name was also Urgen! The boy reminded me of him. Bless him. Also please put subtitle inside of voice over. We love to hear their language.
Thank you for this beautiful and humbling documentary! Just imagine Urgan walking five days to reach the monastery and Norbu a round trip of ten days to get home! I have great respect for these people living in such harsh conditions. May Urgan and Norbu be always healthy and happy.
"Truly a mesmerizing documentary! The journey of Urgan through the breathtaking yet challenging Himalayas is not only visually stunning but also deeply spiritual. It beautifully captures the essence of tradition, resilience, and enlightenment in the face of isolation. Kudos to the directors for bringing such a heartwarming and profound story to life. This is a must-watch for anyone seeking inspiration and insight into the Himalayan way of life. Thank you for sharing this gem!"
What a wonderful story...I'm a tv producer in mainstream media and my dream is to go freelance and tell stories that really matter such as this one! It's informative, inspiring and so important for the world to see. Thank you Slice..Love from Nairobi, Kenya
Urgan and Norbu are beautiful kids. Their story is simple and yet so beautiful. I pray for their success in attaining happy blessed lives. Such amazing views!
They are making THUKPA, that is the special soup, not STUPA, which is the sacred monument with a square base, round middle and spired top, found in the village as a Buddhist sacred shrine to the earth, water, fire, wind and space of the material realm. Just thought it good to clarify, but so happy to see this lovely documentary. Have a long standing connection to Ladakh and have visited Zanskar, too! Jullay ju!
This young man touched my heart when he teased his friend about falling. In that moment he was just a little kid! I’m praying he found much happiness and peace.
As someone from neighboring state of himachal , mountains are my first love . I will always come back into her lap I always regret not learning my mother tongue and unable to communicate with my grandma. It is sad to see how few people live in these places nowadays but you cannot blame. Everyone wants better life .
Why? By sending him to a monastery they ensure he gets educated and well looked after., opportunities he would almost certainly not have by remaining at home. This is the very best they can do for their child which is why it is so esteemed in Buddhist culture
@@siouxsie0679No it’s not, it’s indoctrination and he should have been running around playing cricket 🏏 with his friends. Hope he went home and never returned. To young to make that commitment and when asked he said it was what his family wanted.
Thank you! I enjoy watching this type of documentaries, I "travel" without leaving my house and it enriches my life. I visited Tibet about 15 years ago and my life was impacted forever.
I discovered this channel 2 days ago and I love it, can't get enough of Tibetan / Himalayas documentaries. I suggest Zanskar land of women, from this channel + the one about the hidden caves of Mustang, not on this channel but it is my favorite
What perseverance and strength they have .. hard to find in the western world! A beautiful boy that is leaving his family probably never to see them again and he does so willingly! No game boy or X box in sight.. Has no idea of electricity or supermarkets but he is happy! It says a lot about our selfish way of living.. Wonderful documentary!
I am from Karantaka, South India. Having travlled to Ladakh twice in last 5 years, I really enjoy watching your wonderful videos and recall my sweet memories in Ladakh. Thank you.
Such a beautiful film. Thank you for bringing this to me. I love that part of the world. I spent some time in the northern Himilayas and trekking to some distant Villages back in the early seventies. Things have changed a lot since then. My experiences and the people I met and stayed with in Far distant Villages are memories I shall never forget. Maybe my next life I can go back. But right now the mountains of East Tennessee will be my home till I leave this life.
In another comment people are saying this area has really changed a lot with food , tradition , clothing and modernization since this documentary was made ... I guess if you went back there you would be really surprised
@@gardensofthegods if this virus ends an international travel starts back up and my health holds, I plan to go back sometime at the end of 2021. I was in the Peace Corps in South India and spent over a year traveling and hiking around Nepal. At 71 years old now I don't know if I can make some of the tricks that I did back then. But I would love to go back into some of those areas I'm sure there are roads now to some places.
You picked a beautiful place to settle. I lived in Jumping Branch, West Virginia for 2 years in the 70's, "Just over the hill from you". (God's country)
@@oldscout80 thanks for responding. I have never been through West Virginia. I have some Native American ancestors supposedly from the southern part of West Virginia. I'm hoping to do some tent camping in that area later this spring and early summer when the weather changes. I will be looking for off-grid boondocking sites. I cannot afford nor do I like busy public campgrounds. I usually look for sites in National Forest areas. I've never been to that area you're from maybe I could look it up when I'm there. Now that I'm 71 years old I cannot afford a camper or travel trailer but I do have a really good Kodiak All Season tent. I'm looking forward to seeing parts of West Virginia.
This is a really fascinating documentary. Thank you and I hope you continue to make more of them. Himalayan cultures have so much similarities with religion being one of them. Am from Bhutan.
The ending saddened me. I didn't want to leave their lives having become so absorbed to have felt as if I was part of their story, journeying with them in a simple yet rugged world that still holds mystery and magical adventures. What a great coming of life story of two boys, elder and younger, going walkabout on their individual journeys to becoming men.
Its good real story without any make-up and acting. Thanks for making movies from those people in natural beautiful places. I really hope that this kind of documentary and help funds from TH-cam and other charitable societies can go straight to those in need. Bravo guys, All the best ahead.
Urgan is such a charming boy, innocent, vulnerable and brave too. I wonder how he is able to come to terms with moving away from his family, friends and his favourite game -cricket! Something so unimaginable at his age. God bless him always.
I had a good laugh when Urgan asked his spiritual master if he likes to play cricket. He’s a bubbly & curious kid. I wish him well in his quest of becoming a Buddhist llama. I am enormously impressed with this boy following what his family wanted him to be-a llama. My daughter rebelled when my wife & I told her that we wanted her to be a nurse, like my sister. :-)
I really loved the very frank and funny conversation between two cousins. Vajrayana or Tantric or Tibetan Buddhism Buddhism is not about magic or mystery as the orator said. Tantric Buddhism is like taking a shortcut or running instead of walking to your destination. It is more laborious and difficult but faster to get result.
Such a beautiful story. Didn’t stop crying… I have so much respect for these people… I’m from Sherpa community but we are all same. I wish her all the best. Pls update on her again. Thank you so much for making this beautiful document. Tashi Deley 🙏🙏🙏
I get along with this people i can't speak there language but i manage to have chai chai with older ladies selling apples and dried apricots. Having chai chai and laugh together with himalayan people i meet are the greatest gift of all i always love to cherish. Hope to be back once again sooner or later. 🤗🤩
A absorbing and delightful video...The landscape is gorgeous, rugged and unforgiving.....A real treat and a reminder of my travels to the Himalayas any years past.... Thank you
I have just discovered your Documentaries and had so much respect for their Tradition, Religion, and simple life. It takes a lot of courage and maturity to find ones path in life.Thank you for opening my eyes to another world.
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.
Glad to see the monks from the monastery of my village. They are the monks from saboo monastery in ladakh. Urgen is now an grownup monk and currently studying his higher monastic education in Majestic Drepung monastery in southern indian state of Karnataka and the young monk beside urgen is one of the well known mandala expert and travelled all over the world for that.
Amazing work. This is so relatable to every himalaya child who has the childhood there. I almost feel like i am time travelling with all the warmth of those little memories triggered every now and then by relating to these videos u have done incredible work with!! Thank you ✨
My poor baby 👶 I know how you feel. I know he miss his mom. Baby 👶don't worry your whole life will be better. Human beings full of suffering. Your whole life is holy it means a lot than other boy. I pray for you HAPPY AND healthy. May Lord Buddha continue protect you all from obstacles.
Nice but Buddha does not protect people. The tradition teaches you to live your live in harmony. You learn to protect yourself by the way you live and think
@@naneeleo823 Yes, and it has a specific meaning that is laid out in the Pali Kanon. S. Carl is quite on point. A lot of practitioners also venerate Buddha statues even if the man himself explicitly warned against it. The Path laid out by the Tatagatha is quite a different animal compared to most other religions, so far so that it almost doesn't make sense to call it a religion at all.
That last scene where he shares a naughty smile about cricket with his mentor! Go Aang! I mean, Urgan! What a wonderful, endearing film! Wish we had updates on how these boys are doing now.
@Slice, thank you so much for these amazing documentaries. Living in the Us and then watching how these people live, we all take everything we have for granted. I forgot and had to edit to let you know, I subscribed to your channel.
After watching this docu series, I felt ashamed of how being a US citizen has deprived me of the most precious things in life. Our struggles are so minimal, compared to what the average villager has to go through just survive a day, not counting getting through the winter days. When this world comes to an end, it will be villagers in remote regions that will survive . Great documentary!!!
Beautiful!!! Touching story of these young beautiful souls their strentgh from adversity and harsh conditions is a reminder how beautiful is Ladakh. Thank you!!!
This is one of the most extraordinary documentaries I’ve ever watched. My son and I visited Ladakh in 2017 but unfortunately couldn’t get to Nubra Valley. Intake my hat off to the filmmakers for their “fly on the wall” portrayal of Ladakhi/Tibetan culture and family life.
They r not Tibetan they r Ladakhi which 100 percent Indian culture in the himalayas these ppl r native to area they not Tibetan and they do share same culture .Buddha spread Buddhism here and across to Tibetan plateau that where it spread all over east Asia .
@@urgyennorbu430 , Your Welcome. oh thats you now? Great!!! Your grown up! Seems your contented on your vocation. Hope you can share also a short clip of your family and your village if its not a violation of monks life. More Blessings to you , your family , your temple & fellow monks , your village & country.
great to know some parts in himalaya still untainted by city living... several decades ago somewhere in southeast asia, the government gave free 11years education... after the 11 yrs, a teener told her father she doesnt want go to the city for tertiary education... father said even farming need to be learned by the mao programs in all far flung villagers... that teener then went to the city for tertiary education and after that was able to travel some overseas countries by some philanthropic individual assistances... at sunset life having seen many things, untainted simple village life is still the most refreshing way of living... its good to know the many things outside village life but village is where the heart is... however, having left for several decades, a person is treated and regarded as a foreigner in own village... its like starting all over again... another adjustment in an already aging body... its why though many ethnic people want to go back to own village, its not that simple... "simply leave things to destiny"...
Little brother is really great smile & inelegant.😊 I am so thinking my childhood time when he play some kind of game and all’s he do activities remains me,thankful who make a very beautiful documentary it’s that’s absolutely touching my heart!!thank you very much !!
What a sacrifice! I felt sad when he asked the other boy if he liked cricket... All the best to this young boy, Urgan. I hope that he becomes the best that he can be as a human being.
Wow the child isn't complaining about helping or eating the same things over and over my daycare kids are watching this so they can see how mature and respectful these children are.
@@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.
Love d way u people made it ....purely best coverage ...my soul got trapped in d documentary... to which today's youtubers do not even match.... seriously quality work and pure work ethics.. bravado
I agree. These innocent personalities were conveyed with such care and warmth. They shared their thoughts with humour, respect and acceptance. The photography was stunning, and the music was beautiful. Many thanks and best wishes to all involved in making this film.
Ladakh is one of my favorite place on earth. I wish to travel to this unique place someday. It's my dream. I am from Bhutan and we have so many similarities, be it religion or customs.
They have alot difficult life ...but a very sound mind ..n think thats their strenghth to face harsh life ......... I really enjoyed this documentary...it enhanced my perspective for life...
Thanks for sharing from india leh ladakh have always fascinatIng bbut i do understand life is not easy i'ts easy and captivating though' inagine that child walking for five days awesome the tears i his eyes are moving so much innoceence i can go on but i am speechless who says way to God's path is easy no ways this doc have made me cry right from the beginning keep up the good work God bless you'll the whole team you desrrve an award

He has such a beautiful face.
@@melonando9642 he really does! Such beautiful faces and smiles, especially his
@@urgyennorbu430 Are you this boy?
Urgen : tell me master do you know how to play cricket ?😭😭😭
That innocent childhood..
Such a beautiful documentary..
My poor baby 👶 I know how you feel. I know he miss his mom. Baby 👶don't worry your whole life will be better. Human beings full of suffering. Your whole life is holy it means a lot than other boy. I pray for you HAPPY AND healthy. May Lord Buddha continue protect you all from obstacles.
Nice but Buddha does not protect people. The tradition teaches you to live your live in harmony. You learn to protect yourself by the way you live and think
@@1FeistyKitty " i seek refuge in the Dharma / in the Buddha " is a common Prayer for Practitioners . Lets keep an open mind ;)
@@naneeleo823 Yes, and it has a specific meaning that is laid out in the Pali Kanon. S. Carl is quite on point. A lot of practitioners also venerate Buddha statues even if the man himself explicitly warned against it. The Path laid out by the Tatagatha is quite a different animal compared to most other religions, so far so that it almost doesn't make sense to call it a religion at all.
@@1FeistyKitty buddha mens your nature mind. you protect your mind wisdom .buddha dharma santha .
Yes namo buddha 🌹
These children are so incredibly beautiful. Imagine a western child doing the chores these children have to do... They'd be breaking down in tears
Difficult conditions make really hardy and strong men..... No wimps
It's covid..can't travel....slice documentaries are my only hope..to travel across lands..!so realistic!...
Their life looks so rugged, authentic and exotic, I love it
The simple joy of having their picture taken...so wholesome.
They are all naturally so good looking!!
What a beautiful group of very hard working people. Great documentary!
That last scene where he shares a naughty smile about cricket with his mentor! Go Aang! I mean, Urgan! What a wonderful, endearing film! Wish we had updates on how these boys are doing now.
What a beautiful spirit that one has. I pray he has such a wonderful life.
@Slice, thank you so much for these amazing documentaries. Living in the Us and then watching how these people live, we all take everything we have for granted. I forgot and had to edit to let you know, I subscribed to your channel.
After watching this docu series, I felt ashamed of how being a US citizen has deprived me of the most precious things in life. Our struggles are so minimal, compared to what the average villager has to go through just survive a day, not counting getting through the winter days. When this world comes to an end, it will be villagers in remote regions that will survive . Great documentary!!!
Beautiful!!! Touching story of these young beautiful souls their strentgh from adversity and harsh conditions is a reminder how beautiful is Ladakh.
Thank you!!!
When I am watching this I miss my home Tibet so much !!
One day you will get Tibet

"If you don't learn, you'll be sorry." Truer words have never been spoken. They can be applied to many situations besides education.
The little boy is innocent. God bless him. Thank you sooo much for the heart touching documentary video❤️❤️
Its so fascinating to how simple and decent life they have. Thank you for this documentary love it
Excellent documentary. Simple & beautiful life, I'm sure they don't miss certain things in life that the rest of the world see as important.🙏🏽
they are missing electrcity, fresh water, a good shower, education, food, access to health care, and warm shelter in cold winter. how incent are you?
This is one of the most extraordinary documentaries I’ve ever watched. My son and I visited Ladakh in 2017 but unfortunately couldn’t get to Nubra Valley. Intake my hat off to the filmmakers for their “fly on the wall” portrayal of Ladakhi/Tibetan culture and family life.
This is for the purpose of " man I pull ated "
you and others
Wonderful spiritual Tibetan people, wish you all the best. Keep your tradition and keep your way of life for the century come. ❤
They r not Tibetan they r Ladakhi which 100 percent Indian culture in the himalayas these ppl r native to area they not Tibetan and they do share same culture .Buddha spread Buddhism here and across to Tibetan plateau that where it spread all over east Asia .
No the culture is also similar to Tibetan not Indian
Great docu.! I love the innocence of this boy , Argan. Hope someday there will be a follow-up of what he become. My prayers for him.
Thank u so much
@@urgyennorbu430 , Your Welcome. oh thats you now? Great!!! Your grown up! Seems your contented on your vocation. Hope you can share also a short clip of your family and your village if its not a violation of monks life.
More Blessings to you , your family , your temple & fellow monks , your village & country.
@@margaritasun7908 thank u so much for ur words
@@urgyennorbu430 brother how are you? I hope you are doing very well in your life. And where are you now? I wish to meet you.
@@humanitypreacherr thank u so much .. I’m good and doing well ..
I’m in Drepung monastery.
great to know some parts in himalaya still untainted by city living... several decades ago somewhere in southeast asia, the government gave free 11years education... after the 11 yrs, a teener told her father she doesnt want go to the city for tertiary education... father said even farming need to be learned by the mao programs in all far flung villagers... that teener then went to the city for tertiary education and after that was able to travel some overseas countries by some philanthropic individual assistances... at sunset life having seen many things, untainted simple village life is still the most refreshing way of living... its good to know the many things outside village life but village is where the heart is... however, having left for several decades, a person is treated and regarded as a foreigner in own village... its like starting all over again... another adjustment in an already aging body... its why though many ethnic people want to go back to own village, its not that simple... "simply leave things to destiny"...
The lad is bright and observant. He will tackle it all in good spirit. Thank you Slice. I am becoming your fellow traveller. Opens my mind.
Excellent documentary!! Waiting to see how Urgan is doing 🙏🙏🙏
I’m doing well .......
Little brother is really great smile & inelegant.😊 I am so thinking my childhood time when he play some kind of game and all’s he do activities remains me,thankful who make a very beautiful documentary it’s that’s absolutely touching my heart!!thank you very much !!

Thank you Slice for sharing such wonderful stories.......🙏 great great job...... So much to see to learn and get inspired by our mother land, Tibet.
What a sacrifice! I felt sad when he asked the other boy if he liked cricket... All the best to this young boy, Urgan. I hope that he becomes the best that he can be as a human being.
Thankyou. Beautifully filmed. I think the boy will do well. He had a good attitude and kind relatives. A very enjoyable and happy film.
he is so cute when he keeps asking about the game where his real passion is. It would be nice to know how they are doing today! Loved the simplicity.
This might be my new favorite documentary of all time. Thank you!
Wonderful videos about Tibetan cultures and Life of LeDuc in people. Thanks very much, God’s bless you.
Im from india. And i all ways want to Himalayas. After watching this video i defiantly go one day. Beautiful video
Wow the child isn't complaining about helping or eating the same things over and over my daycare kids are watching this so they can see how mature and respectful these children are.
It’s all in the upbringing. It’s not your kids fault, but how they are raised and where they live.
It’s not your kids fault, you raise them.
Thanks, for posting this documentary. 💖
He's so young, he needs to be his parents who will give him all the love.

this arrogant form of tibethan buddhism is taking advantage of the childrens poverty.
u got the point. it is very sad. what the fuck buddah is to this young life.
Demonic infested religion. There is no Buddha. Jesus is the only Savior.
@@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.
Love d way u people made it ....purely best coverage ...my soul got trapped in d documentary... to which today's youtubers do not even match.... seriously quality work and pure work ethics.. bravado
You have covered this in the most beautiful way it can ever be covered. I Loved it .
I agree. These innocent personalities were conveyed with such care and warmth. They shared their thoughts with humour, respect and acceptance. The photography was stunning, and the music was beautiful. Many thanks and best wishes to all involved in making this film.
I found the documentaries of this type on TH-cam yesterday. Beautifully done and very honest.
Ladakh is one of my favorite place on earth. I wish to travel to this unique place someday. It's my dream. I am from Bhutan and we have so many similarities, be it religion or customs.
They have alot difficult life ...but a very sound mind ..n think thats their strenghth to face harsh life .........
I really enjoyed this documentary...it enhanced my perspective for life...
Cricket ball so cute 🏏lets him play for god sake of Buddhism.great docu, great cinematography.wish little child argan follow the path.
Yet again, another amazing documentary!!! So humbling 🥰🙏🏻💞💜
