HOW PEOPLE LIVE IN NEPAL Life On The Roof Of The World 4K Documentary

8 of the 10 highest mountains on Earth stand on Nepal's borders — and they are still rising.

In 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed nearly 9,000 people in less than a minute.

This documentary tells the story of how 30 million people live on the roof of the world. We follow the birth of the Himalayas, the country that was never colonised, the Gurkhas, the first ascent of Everest, farmers on terraced slopes, porters who carry everything on their backs, the Sherpas and the dangers of Everest, the living goddess of Kathmandu, the 2015 earthquake and the rebuilding by hand, deadly glacial lakes and the Thame flood — and the tigers that came back.
