Nepalese are far too closely aware of the hellish condition of the Karnali region with no visible signs of civilization. We've seen their lives in drudgery and heard tales of survival. Deadliest Journeys visits Jumla, a place with about 10,000 people, and "virtually forgotten by the rest of civilization" that is accessible only by an "awful hellish and dangerous road." The documentary has compelling visuals of the most dangerous stretch of the road (Surkhet-Jumla) above 3,000 meters in the rugged Himalayas.
DEADLIEST JOURNEYS uncovers the world's most treacherous roads, skies and waterways, where intrepid travelers risk life and limb to reach their destinations.

Hi Sijan,
ReplyDeleteGood documentary, but just wanted to say that this is just half of the information, or maybe just a quarter.
" "virtually forgotten by the rest of civilization" that is accessible only by an "awful hellish and dangerous road." " is clearly a myth.
In fact Sinja valley in Jumla is where one of the civilizations in Nepal, the Khas civilization, originated along with the Khas language. Mugu, Khalanga,Dolpa are also accessible by airplanes. Nepalgunj has daily flights, sometimes up to 15 to Jumla.
Jumla is more than 10,000 people strong and although the road is inaccessible for 3 months a year, it's definitely going to see better days ahead! Kudos to whoever made this documentary and thanks to you for putting this on your blog. Just my two cents on the missing information. :)
