Himalayan Pilgrimage Narrator Indira Joshi
The Ganges, to the 450 million Hindus of India, is the most holy of all the rivers on earth.
For centuries the people of the plains have gone on pilgrimage, high among the snows of the Himalayas, to the ancient temples of Kedamath, Badrinath, and Gangotri that mark the sources of the river's main tributaries. For Surat Singh and his family, from their dusty village in the plains, this Pilgrimage into the Hindu Holy Land is both a spiritual journey and an adventure in a cold, hard world of mountains and glaciers.
