Two of the most experienced paragliding pilots explore the Spiti Valley in the Indian Himalayas. Thomas de Dorlodot -multiple world record holder- leads Horacio Llorens -six times world champion in aerobatics- to discover why hardly anyone tried to fly in this place where, according to Rudyard Kipling, the gods live. The mountains touch the heavens with their 6,500 meter high glacial peaks. Arid, dry and rocky landscapes produce violent air conditions and their remoteness makes oxygen supply impossible. Despite the risks, the athletes take us on an exciting scenic discovery of this unique valley and the sky beyond.
