Zanskar is an ancient realm in the heart of the Himalayas. In this isolated enclave, the highest populated valley in the world, 12 000 Zanskaris live in total autarky. To put an end to this isolation, the Indian government has launched one of its most spectacular construction sites. Hanging on the cliff face, following the meanders of the Zanskar River, the road is progressing very slowly. The works apparently started 40 years ago, but the means employed are inadequate. For the inhabitants of Zanskar, the wait is endless and many despair of seeing the road reach them one day.

Yet Zanskar is getting ready to open its doors to the world and may undergo some major upheavals much earlier than planned! Because one man alone, has also decided to built a road. This man is neither an engineer, nor a millionaire, and even less a visionary! His name is Tsultrim Chonjor, he’s 78 years old and he’s a Buddhist monk! Tsultrim has been using a bulldozer to dig through the mountain for two years. Nothing seems to be able to stop this very atypical monk, who’s about to cross the Shingo La Pass, over 5 000 metres above sea level. Everyone admires Tsultrim’s perseverance, but will he manage to open the road to Kargyak, the very first village to the south of Zanskar?
