    The Zanskar is a small, almost forgotten valley surrounded by the Himalayas. When the snow-covered mountain passes are inaccessible, people are cut off from the outside world. Except for a frozen stream. The 120 km (75 miles) path is extremely dangerous. Meet the men, women and children who risk their lives to get to school, deliver goods and carry supplies on this scary ice trail.
