Synopsis
Documents Gaurav Jani's solo motorcycle trek to the highest habitable place on earth, the Changthang Plateau in Ladakh, bordering China. From teeming Mumbai, Jani rides his 350 cc. Enfield, creaking under the weight of movie equipment, fuel and camping gear, negotiating hairpin turns on an ascent to more than 18,000 feet. There's nary a false note in this adventure as he rides undaunted from one outpost to another, toughing out altitude sickness and cold so bitter his bike won't run. The barren landscape is gorgeous and lonesome, but Jani finds astonishing humanity at every turn. In the great middle-of-nowhere he meets the nomadic herding Chang-pas people, chances upon a rare religious festival and films the inside of an isolated monastery never filmed before.
