Basket making in Himalayas, Ladakh, bordering Tibet

Irish basket-maker Joe Hogan travels to Ladakh province in the far north of India, bordering Tibet to meet with local basket-maker Punsok Dorge to see how similar both their traditions are. He find them very similar and the two men work together to create a willow and grass basket. This Buddhist monastery has remained open at all times and has experience none of the persecution that Buddhists across the border endured. Punsok offers Joe yak-butter tea and tsampawhich his wife prepares. Manchán Magan Global Nomad. www.manchan.com
