The Himalaya are the highest and greatest mountain range on earth, and their importance to Asian culture and history cannot be overstated. 1.6 billion people rely on fresh water that drains from the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau.
In this episode, we focus on Ladakh, the northernmost territory in India, the "Land of High Passes" where the most prominent passes over the Himalaya could be found, passes that brought Buddhism to Tibet, Islam to India, and culture to all parts of Asia. Leading a caravan over the passes was not for the faint of heart - or the faint of oxygen.
Since Ladakh is next door to Kashmir, we will talk about one of my favorite Kashmiri dishes: Rogan Josh!
