NEPAL: Life on the Roof of the World Where the Air Runs Out

How do people live where the air runs out? Nepal is a country raised from the bottom of an ancient ocean, home to eight of the ten highest mountains on Earth, and to people who thrive where most of us could barely breathe. In this documentary, we journey from the summit of Everest down to the tiger-filled jungles of Chitwan. Along the way: fossils of sea creatures near the top of the world, thousands of mysterious caves carved into the cliffs of Mustang, a legend about a drained lake that geologists proved true, and the ancient tree roots discovered beneath the birthplace of the Buddha. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 The Most Impossible Country on Earth 1:05 The Collision That Built the Himalaya 3:45 Everest: Into the Death Zone 6:47 Annapurna: The Mountain That Kills 9:27 The Sherpa: Born to Breathe Thin Air 12:28 Faith and the Sky Caves of Mustang 15:45 The Valley That Was a Lake 19:30 Chitwan: Rhinos, Tigers and the Comeback 22:35 Lumbini: The Birthplace of the Buddha 25:45 The People of the Impossible Country 🌍 Subscribe to Strata 7 for more documentaries about the world’s most extraordinary places and the history hidden beneath them. #Nepal #Himalaya #Everest #TravelDocumentary #Sherpa #Documentary
