END OF THE TRAIL
The programme is about Himalayan shepherds who follow the cycle of transhumance. The family of this particular shepherd, (like others) has followed the same trail for many generations upto 14,000 ft. every summer. These ecologically-aware pastoralists now face grazing problems in winter due to increased cultivation and new forest- protection policies. Young shepherds are faced with difficult choices between traditional practices and the viability of survival.
