In Himalaya, Michael visits the Earth's greatest mountain range - 1800 miles from the borders of Afghanistan to southwest China. palinstravels.co.uk/static-188-14
This series with Michael Palin has been stunning, the best series I've ever seen. All the features of India, Pakistan, Tibet, etc have shown how material we are in the West.. So many poor, yet good natured people who are very humble. We haven't got a clue in the Western World, but we arrogantly think these people are backward. Palin has been the perfect person for the job, he gets stuck in.
@@michaelgriffin7640 sure there exists a lot of misogyny which can be improved upon but second class citizens?? That's going a bit far in my opinion.Lets not pretend women have it any better in the west either with more single mothers than ever before and plenty of cases of sexual exploitation/objectification/abuse along with domestic abuse still rife in the west! Men have exploited and degraded women in the west so far as for them to lose their femininity and woman hood and making them feel like the only way to achieve equality is to be like men!
@@michaelgriffin7640 no they are not they are actually treated differently the west does not understand. Yes there are problems but you telle there is not in the west. Tell me Google it which country had the first female leader.? You may be shocked
These images bring back treasured memories of a similar journey I made back in 1991... Starting in Xinjiang Province in China traveling through the Pamir Range, across the Khunjerab Pass and down through the Karakoram Range stopping off in Gilgit, 'Pindi/ Islamabad, onto Lahore and then crossing into India (in my case on foot) at Amritsar, where I spent my first night as an itinerant guest in the Golden Temple. I remember Kashmir being off-limits to travellers at the time. From the distance of three decades it seems like another world entirely!
It should be noted that all empires rise and fall Each dominant culture during its time excelled in war architecture and art. We see the ruins of them . The ancient Greeks are not the modern Greeks and visa versa neither the Egyptians we have seen the collapse of the Soviets and the third Rheich as well as the British empire. It should be noted that with Trumpism still prevailant America cannot be too far behind.
AMAZING TO SEE THIS DOCUMENARY.ITS ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD, MADE AROUND TIME WHEN IMRAN KHAN DIVORCED JAMIMA . I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN, BECAUSE MICHAEL PALINE, AND LOTS OF RESPECTS TO HIM. SHAAN SHAHID SAID HIS BEEN MAKING MOVIES FOR 12 YEARS SO THIS HAS GOT TO BE 10+ YEARS.
I have a question.'Himalaya with Michael Palin ' had 6 one hour episodes that was on bbc. what is this new footage?I think I didn't see much of this footage in those episodes!Was this shown on some other network?
Signal Racer I was thinking the same. As a matter of fact I have the himalaya boxset, and your right there’s only six episodes. This footage isn’t there? It’s much better
Episode 1 features Landi Kotal, Dara Adam Khel, Peshawar, Chitral, Kalash people hometown, halfway between Chitral and Gilgit, and Concordia. Episode 2 was in Lahore, Wagah, Amritsar, Shimla, Dharamsala, and Manali. Episode 3 was focused in Western Nepal, Kathmandu, Everest Base Camp and the trek, and Kodari. Episode 4 was focused in Zhangmu, Shigatse, Lhasa, Yushu and the road to Himalayan Sichuan. Episode 5 was in Tiger Leaping Gorge, Naga village between Myanmar and India. Episode 6 was Bhutan, and ends in Bay of Bengal. These were the extras that didn't made the official episodes, sidetrips that doesn't get included, or bloopers.
Love this Dalai Lama. Great person. Islam and Christians are hell bent on conversion. Indian subcontinent based religion never convert. Such as Sikh, Hindus, Buddhist, Jain etc etc.
Hell bent on conversion is a bit extreme, but think about it this way, if you thought what you believed in was the ultimate truth and the ultimate path to salvation why wouldnt you want to share it with others?
Yup, hellbent on conversion. Christians have used Crusades, fearmongering, shock value and destruction of other religions. Islam used terrorism, forced conversions or executions, and hate speech.
no, we're not all hell bent on conversion so please don't generalize. ok? besides i have heard of a lot of fighting amongst the subcontinent religions too.
Felt really sorry for the oppressed Muslims in Kashmir . The Indian government has got the blood of millions of innocent Kashmiri Muslims on their hands.
Do you mean the POK or the Indian Kashmir? If were referring to India then you have got shit for brains. The some militant Muslim groups trained and funded by you pakistanis killed thousands of Kashmiri Pundits and caused hundreds of thousands of others to flee. IF were you I would think before I speak.
Muslims ARE allowed to possess alcohol! Providing it is for medicinal or industrial purposes. Doctors using alco-swabs are required to handle isopropanol.
and why do all the old white/pink guys from britain and america always wear a blue shirt with white chino's when going to the indian sub-continenet. can someone explain?

I had a book signed by Michael. And l will always treasure it.
Thank you so much for sharing, I appreciate you.
Not being Brits but I'm more then sure if there is any guy who should represents GB outside, it is Michael Palin. You may be proud of that lad: )

What a fantastic find
This is great.
I love the loose format of Palin's voice over. The content is still bold.
Thank you Iva
Anyone know what that song is the kids dance to? I like it.
great upload thanks!! miss this show!
Excellent
the journey must have taken in 2003, palin mentions in the opening part that he just turned 60
music at 28.30 mins is amazing. dancing children
Imran Khan actually looks like he could be an Englishman. Fascinating.
R.I.P Mr Bandari (sadly lost in a car crash in 2008)
RIP

MUCH MORE THAN 10 YRS...CLOSER TO 21
Firstly, it's PALIN and secondly, stop yelling.
10:04 he should say, "these aren't the droids you're looking for."
do you know the name of the music playing at about 29:00 where the little girls are dancing? i really liked it!
yeah I do!
lol dalai lama got an infectious laugh
Prime minister
someone knows what that song is @ 28:40 ?

Can't say for sure, but this could be an added feature to the box set, commentary over select scenes from the series.
This is the bonus deleted scenes that can be found on the DVD release
Episode 1 features Landi Kotal, Dara Adam Khel, Peshawar, Chitral, Kalash people hometown, halfway between Chitral and Gilgit, and Concordia.
Episode 2 was in Lahore, Wagah, Amritsar, Shimla, Dharamsala, and Manali.
Episode 3 was focused in Western Nepal, Kathmandu, Everest Base Camp and the trek, and Kodari.
Episode 4 was focused in Zhangmu, Shigatse, Lhasa, Yushu and the road to Himalayan Sichuan.
Episode 5 was in Tiger Leaping Gorge, Naga village between Myanmar and India.
Episode 6 was Bhutan, and ends in Bay of Bengal.
These were the extras that didn't made the official episodes, sidetrips that doesn't get included, or bloopers.
It's the stuff that was taken out, the stuff that normally ends up on the cutting room floor.
When was this aired?
2004
Free Tibet.
end chopped off again

Because muslims care about salvation of their fellow men
Yup, hellbent on conversion.
Christians have used Crusades, fearmongering, shock value and destruction of other religions.
Islam used terrorism, forced conversions or executions, and hate speech.
Interestingly, at 2:51, Michael visited Imran Khan, who became PM and is currently imprisoned.
no, we're not all hell bent on conversion so please don't generalize. ok? besides i have heard of a lot of fighting amongst the subcontinent religions too.
Free kashmir .
Shaan Shahid's accent almost sounds a bit Welsh! He reminds me of the Welsh actor Luke Evans.
3:38 - This is happening all over the world with most governments now.
the dahli lama is a bit naive and i say this as a buddhist
it takes a brave man to go to pakistan for no reason...
lol
Felt really sorry for the oppressed Muslims in Kashmir . The Indian government has got the blood of millions of innocent Kashmiri Muslims on their hands.
Sahad Qasim Lies, all terrorist groups against democracy, if Kashmir falls to Pakistan it will be Afghanistan no.2 e.g. Terrorist training ground.

The some militant Muslim groups trained and funded by you pakistanis killed thousands of Kashmiri Pundits and caused hundreds of thousands of others to flee. IF were you I would think before I speak.
Sd TS 237,000 Muslims were ethnically cleansed from Jammu prior to the formation of modern India, you seem to have little sympathy for them.
Free Kashmir, no India, no Pakistan , self determination
Muslims ARE allowed to possess alcohol! Providing it is for medicinal or industrial purposes. Doctors using alco-swabs are required to handle isopropanol.
Turkey is one of few Muslim countries where alcohol consumption is legal
@@AdamTheMan1993 And this adds to my remark how, oh anonymous coward?
Imran Khan described as a seducer by Palin ! hahaha ...
and why do all the old white/pink guys from britain and america always wear a blue shirt with white chino's when going to the indian sub-continenet. can someone explain?
