Event Description : "They Who Walked Mountains" film screening.
For centuries the Bhotias traded with Tibet using routes that cut through the western and eastern passes of the Himalayas; snaking through the valleys of the fast flowing Gori river, across the treacherous Untadhura and Kingri Bingri passes at 19, 000 feet high. In 1962, these passes were closed following the Indo-Chinese war – trade came to an end and with it a centuries old culture that had bonded the Tibetan and Bhotia communities in familial friendships. This film captures some of those memories of the legendary traders
