Himalaya was one of the best 2 watch on discovery.
14 July 2006 | by (India) – See all my reviews

I watched Palin"s , HIMALAYA , recently on discovery last week. It was the excellent one showing all cultures n tradition beautifully.I was unaware of all his documentaries n about him also.The best part i like was of Dharamshala n meeting with Holiness DALAI LAMA.I wished i would b with him in dharmshala n seeking his blessings 4 one of my friend who is Hiv+.I m a student n really adore all such programmes regarding travel , culture n different traditions. I will catch all his past documentaries soon n shall wait 4 his next programme eagerly as i genuially love "HIMALAYA".
