Uhile ko Nepal - Toni Hagen
47 min,
Uhile ko Nepal - Toni Hagen and his 14,000 km journey on foot through Nepal
This rare footage narrated by the late Dr Toni Hagen was filmed between 1950 - 1960 when Nepal had just been opened to foreigners. Hagen first visited Nepal in 1950 with a first Swiss development assistance mission. He was asked to look for diamonds but ended up documenting the people and their lives during a time before cars, planes and roads. This footage of Nepal before modernization is truly extraordinary and will amaze those people who have visited the country.
