A film about the heavenly angels in uniform of the Dharamsala police department in northern India. After weeks on the dusty roads of the country they were a sight for my sore eyes.
I have seen some strange things on my travels in India but nothing as mysterious as this bridge. Located in an empty Indus river valley in the Himalayas I came across it by chance and am still perplexed as to what it was all about.
I consider myself rather good at resisting a smooth tongued salesperson but on a warm day in India's northern state of Himachal Pradesh I met my match. These two young girls hustled me and hustled me good. Watch how they did it.
The road trip follows the ancient caravan routes from Ladakh down to Himachal Pradesh and then up to Kashmir before crossing the roof of the world back into Ladakh and the end point in Leh.
It's amazing what you stumble upon whilst cruising around the backroads of India. Somewhere in Himachal Pradesh I saw a park full of thousands of colourfully dressed people and decided to go and make some new friends and practice my Hindi.
There I was riding up the steep hill towards Leh the capital of Ladakh in the north of India one day when in the distance I saw a guy pushing a food cart. I had to stop and investigate.

A video dedicated to the gods who reside among us. The mighty Indian truckers who ply the roads and highways of the subcontinent, delivering our Limca and Lay's chips.
In this video I tell the story of my first trip to India and why I have returned after an absence of over 20 years. And about my bro-mance with a blue god.
So whilst on a recent trip to Srinagar in the north of India I decided to investigate if Jesus really was buried in Kashmir. And like always, I made some friends on the way..
