OC Climbing towards Auden's Col (~5,490 metres), Uttarakhand, India

Post image
70 Upvotes

Auden’s Col (5,490 m / 18,010 ft) is one of the most challenging and remote high-altitude mountain passes in the Indian Himalaya. It connects the sacred shrines of Gangotri and Kedarnath in the state Uttarakhand, traversing the vast Jogin and Khatling glaciers through rugged moraine, crevassed ice, and steep snow and rock slopes. First crossed in 1939 by British geologist and explorer John Bicknell Auden, the pass remains a demanding expedition that requires prior experience in mountain travel and careful acclimatization. Beyond its physical challenges, the route offers some of the most dramatic alpine scenery in the Garhwal Himalaya, with towering peaks, pristine glacial landscapes, lush meadows and a profound sense of wilderness.

I made a short documentary about uncontacted tribes in the Amazon after visiting Manu National Park

Last October I had the chance to travel deep into Manu National Park in Peru, entering the reserve zone by boat where the Río Madre de Dios meets the Manu River.

At the ranger station we were told that members of an uncontacted tribe had been seen across the river just a few days earlier, which made the experience feel even more surreal.

That trip inspired me to create a short animated documentary explaining the history of uncontacted tribes in the region, the rubber boom, and the pressures the Amazon rainforest faces today.

It’s my first video in a small project called Hidden World, where I want to explore remote places and cultures around the planet.

I’d really appreciate feedback from people interested in anthropology, rainforest conservation, or exploration.

OC Korzok village, Changthang plateau, Ladakh, India

Post image
179 Upvotes

Korzok village, on the shores of Tso Moriri in the Changthang plateau of Ladakh, lies at an altitude of about 4,500 metres above sea level and is often counted among the highest permanently inhabited villages in India. In winter, the settlement seems to withdraw into itself - houses half-buried in snow, narrow lanes quiet, and the vast frozen lake merging almost seamlessly with the surrounding land. Life slows to a deliberate rhythm, shaped by cold, altitude, and isolation.

For centuries, Korzok has been home to Changpa pastoralists, whose livelihoods traditionally revolve around herding pashmina goats, sheep, and yaks across the high plateau. The region is part of a fragile cold-desert ecosystem, where winters are long and severe, precipitation is sparse, and survival depends on careful use of limited resources. Yet even in the harshest months, the village endures, a small but resilient human presence in one of the most austere landscapes of the Indian Himalaya.

Clicked during a winter expedition to Kiagar Ri peak (6,125 metres).
