Himalaya (BBC) Michael Palin's 2000-mile journey along a mountain range of mystery, adventure and challenge. "It was a great adventure, in busy, lively cities, beautiful countryside, and amongst magnificent peaks, glaciers, snow-fields and isolated, spectacular villages. From the highest point of the journey, just over 18,000 feet to the lowest, floating out into the sunset on the Bay of Bengal, the scenery is breathtaking, but, as usual, it's the people we meet along the way - who really make the journey amazing." Michael Palin. Michael Palin's sixth televised international journey takes him to the Himalaya (Sanskrit for "The Abode of Snow"), a mighty and majestic region of Asia. His extraordinary journey takes him through Afghanistan, across India to the base of Mount Everest and then onto the Bhutanese capital before arriving in the Bay of Bengal. Along the way, he encounters fascinating inhabitants of the mountain range - including the Dalai Lama, the Bhutanese Royal Family and the once feared head hunting tribe of the Konyak.

Himalaya with Michael Palin. Michael Palin packt erneut das Reisefieber und seine Koffer für ein wahnwitziges Abenteuer und durchquert das weltgrößte Gebirgsmassiv: den Himalaya. Nicht genug damit, dass er Reisen unternommen hat, die ihn in 80 Tagen um die Welt, vom Nordpol zum Südpol und auf die Spur von Ernest Hemingway geführt haben. Dieses Mal wird er Schnee und Eis, beißenden Winden und enormen Höhenunterschieden ausgesetzt sein, wenn er sich 3000 Kilometer von der Grenze Afghanistans bis in den Südosten Chinas durch das Himalayagebirge kämpft. In his most challenging journey to date, Palin tackles the Himalayas, the greatest mountain range on earth. It is a virtually unbroken wall of rock stretching 1800 miles from the borders of Afghanistan to south-west China. Penetrated but never conquered, it remains the world's most majestic natural barrier, a magnificent wilderness that shapes the history and politics of Asia to this day. Having previously risen to the challenge of seas, poles, dhows and deserts, the highest mountains in the world were a natural target for Michael Palin. In a journey rarely, if ever, attempted before, in 6 months of hard travelling Palin takes on the full length of the Himalaya including the Khyber Pass, the hidden valleys of the Hindu Kush, ancient cities like Peshawar and Lahore, the mighty peaks of K2, Annapurna and Everest, the bleak and barren plateau of Tibet, the gorges of the Yangtze, the tribal lands of the Indo-Burmese border and the vast Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh. He also passes through political flashpoints including Pakistan's remote north-west frontier, terrorist-torn Kashmir and the mountains of Nagaland.. U ovoj pustolovini Michael Palin doživljava snijeg i led te oštre vjetrove i veliku nadmorsku visinu na 3200 km dugom putu kroz Himalaju. Preživljavajući i uživajući u krajoliku bogatom florom i faunom te koračajući uskim puteljcima na vrtoglavim planinskim visinama, Michael Palin ima i stručnu pomoć mjesnog stanovništva, planinara i alpinista. On će također posjetiti i tamošnje gradove i njihove atrakcije. Kao i uvijek, upoznat će zanimljive i katkad slavne stanovnike Himalaje kao što je u ovom slučaju riječ o nekadašnjem kriketskom kapetanu, a današnjem pakistanskom političaru Imri Kanu. Nezaboravan je njegov razgovor s Dalaj-Lamom i jednim Englezom koji se oženio princezom. Izvor:www.mojtv.hr. Alig tért vissza a Szaharából, Michael Palin újabb utazás tervezésébe fogott. Ezúttal egy 2000 mérföldes út következik az erő, a fenség és a titok birodalmába. A Himalája a célpont: a gazdagság és a nyomor végletei, a magasság és a fagy kihívásai. Ismét tanúi lehetünk a hajdani Monty Python csapattag kivételes humorának, szellemének és bölcsességének. Utazása közben érinti Afganisztánt, átutazik Indián, eljut a rettegett Death Zero pontig a az Everest lábánál, majd tovább a Bhutanba, és végül a Bengáli öbölbe. Deze reis voert u mee via Afghanistan, India en de Mount Everest naar de Baai van Bengalen. Onderweg maakt u kennis met de bevolking van deze ruige bergstreken waaronder de koninklijke Bhutanese familie, de Dalai Lama en de eens zo gevreesde Konyak koppensnellers. Michael Palin’s Himalaya: Journey of a Lifetime review – a fitting swansong. L ook, I am sure that back in the Before Times or even in the early stages of the pandemic, it seemed like a very good idea to repackage one of lovely Michael Palin’s loveliest trips, through the Himalaya and its environs in 2004, and have him reflect on it and his younger self from the comfort of his own home in Michael Palin’s Himalaya: Journey of a Lifetime (BBC Two). The viewers would get the highlights of the six-part series condensed into one 90-minute jaunt and a restorative dose of Palin, the BBC would get a relatively cheap hour and a half to fill the schedule in straitened circumstances, and at no point would one of our greatest national treasures be killed by overexertion or Covid. Win-win-win. Except that now we are immersed in the pandemic era, and intimations of mortality shadow us everywhere, it becomes virtually impossible to avoid the sense that this has been designed as – or at the very least is functioning as – Palin’s swansong. As the hagiographic tributes from talking heads mount up, you are dragged reluctantly to the conclusion that this will be the thing they show when … when the time comes that a televisual obituary is required. And that’s even before 94-year-old Sir David Attenborough turns up to comment on the snow-capped mountains and the art of conveying the essence of a place to those watching at home and inadvertently remind us that … well … you know, and oh God, I am too emotionally fragile for all this. The Himalaya, of course, remains. Let’s focus on that. The 2004 Palin starts off at the Khyber Pass, staring out at the view that once confronted Alexander and Tamburlaine the Greats, then heads east through Pakistan and northern India, through Nepal, Tibet, China, other Indian states and finally Bhutan and Bangladesh. Entries into the repackaged hit parade include his visit to Darra Adam Khel, a town full of bazaars at which the local gunsmiths sell their replica Kalashnikovs and assorted other first-rate counterfeit weapons; enjoying a communal meal at the Golden Temple in Amritsar; marvelling at the different approaches to death in other cultures as the barefoot Hindu pallbearers in Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu bring the bodies to public funeral pyres for cremation; and crossing paths with a tribe that well within living memory was still headhunting. We watch him battle altitude sickness in the mountains themselves (“Stop moaning, Palin!” he chides, long after most of us would have lain down and started begging to be airlifted home). And of course his meeting with the Dalai Lama makes the cut. His Holiness turns out to be a fan of the BBC and a keen viewer of Palin’s documentaries, which is all jolly nice.
