Video still fro “Talking With Anil” by by Martushka Fromeast and Anil Sharma<\/p><\/div>are in Europe. Anil believes in arranged marriages and wants his mother to find his future wife. He lives in the town of Manali in India, but the cultural ties to his birthplace in the remote Laholu valley remain strong. Anil has worked as a Himalaya guide since he was 15 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

I met Anil in 2011. He was my guide during a trek in Ladakh, a high altitude area in the remote Indian Himalayas. While climbing, we talked a lot. On our return from the mountains, we went for a pint in the local pub in Leh, capital of Ladakh. I didn\u2019t know then, but it was at that moment our \u2018artistic journey\u2019 began.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
