The Manali - Leh highway. India's road to the Himalayas
Holger Preusse / Germany / 2010 / 43 min / Colour
Italian premiere
The so-called Manali-Leh highway is the access road to the “Roof of the World”. 475 kilometres of road, accessible only from June to September, connect the cities of Manali and Leh, in the heart of the Ladakh. To negotiate five of the highest passes in the world, that reach as much as 5.325 metres, is an accomplishment for both the men and for their vehicles. The thin air of the high mountains, the sudden landslides, and the cracks that open in the glaciers and snow transform trips on this road into dangerous adventures.
