Walking with ghosts in the Hidden Himalayas

Dr. Jane Orton uncovers the hidden Himalayas as it finds new ways to survive.

For over a decade, folklorist Dr. Jane Orton travelled across the Himalayas’ Spiti Valley collecting stories of hidden lands, ancient deities and invisible wish-granting entities. But Spiti is rapidly changing and these age-old beliefs must coexist alongside new technology and the influx of tourism. Jane uncovers the hidden Himalayas as it finds new ways to survive.

A Whistledown production.
