Finding ITCHOO - Winter Trek to a Remote Village in Ladakh

Itchoo is one of the most isolated villages in the Kargil district of Ladakh (India). It is reachable only by a 10km trek across steep mountain trails which are buried by snow and avalanches during the winter months. And the only way to access Itcho in winter is by walking on the frozen Phu Lungma stream, making it a Chadar trek experience like no other.
This is a behind the scenes look at my short film about Itcho - 'A Village in Search of a Road'. Please watch it if you haven't already.
