BBC Two - Mountain: Life at the Extreme, Series 1, Himalaya

A look at snow leopards, bizarre-looking monkeys and the Everest marathon.

A look at the highest mountain range on earth, the Himalayas, including resident snow leopards and bizarre-looking monkeys, and the Everest marathon.

The highest mountain range on earth is home to extraordinary animals and remarkable ancient cultures. In the depths of winter, snow leopards creep into isolated mountain villages in search of food. In hidden valleys, bizarre-looking monkeys huddle for warmth in a frozen forest. Ancient Buddhist monasteries have age-old rituals creating beautiful works of art made from mountain sand, and athletes compete in the gruelling Everest marathon. Strange and exotic creatures live in the Himalaya - the chiru, with the warmest wool in the world, snakes bathing in hot springs and wild yaks competing in their annual rut.
