Riding Solo To The Top Of The World is the unique experience of a lonesome traveller, who rides his motorcycle all the way from Mumbai to one of the remotest places in the World, the Changthang Plateau, in Ladakh, bordering China.
Situated at an average altitude of 15,000 feet, Changthang covers almost 30,000 square kilometers of Ladakh A land devoid of roads and with temperatures which dip to minus 40 degree Celsius in winter.
As a one-man film unit, he astonishes you, filming the landscape he passes by and the people he interacts with, capturing moments of beauty, pain, love, hardship, self doubt and spiritual triumphs.
As a city slicker, his interaction with the nomads of the region, the Changpas, who live at the highest altitude used by mankind in the world, teaches him a new perspective on life, as does the religious fervour he encounters.
The Hemis festival that comes once in twelve years, the Tashi Choling monastery where the Changpas pray to the Rain God and their ever changing life have all been shot in all its splendour and festivity.
The highlight of the trip is the permission given to him to film the monastery at Chemur, ( the very first time a camera has been permitted.)
Riding Solo to the Top of the World, in essence, is a film about a journey that begins as an adventure and ends with the man, Gaurav Jani, seeking the person within. Gaurav will be present at the screening to answer questions.

Jury Comment: With "Riding Solo…" a new form (of film making) emerges which should encourage young filmmakers to explore the world around them. A road movie which transforms a trekking adventure into a poem, revealing the mysteries of a gentle mindscape.
