National Geographic: The Great Indian Railway - Travel Video.  VHS.

A puffing steam train climbs into the Himalaya, a rolling rumble echoes over the holy waters of the Ganges, an astonishing five million commuters rush daily through the Bombay Victoria Terminus---join National Geographic as we journey on one of the world's largest railway systems.

   Since 1953, India's railway has been a unifying force.  Not only does it physically link distant regions, it also connects the myriad of castes, languages, and religions that comprise India.  It's a rich history, riding the sumptuous "Palace on Wheels" through Rajasthan or the "toy train" to Darjeeling.  But sadly, the age of steam is dying.  At the Black Beauty contest, the beloved steam engines are admired for the last time.
   From the driver in the steaming locomotive to the station master in the sleepy village, from the family traveling to a wedding to the commuters in the large cities, this great institution reflects the country itself.  Many are the faces, and varied are the stories, on "The Great Indian Railway".  115 minutes.

  "A beautiful video gently narrated with a lot of love.  Have a handkerchief ready for the finale."

A pilgrimage into the heart of India's greatest sacred celebration, the Kumbh Mela which takes place every 12 years.  Filmmaker and poet Ira Cohen brings us face to face with an unforgettable gathering of holy men and into the heart of a visionary experience by rendering it as it really is: a circus of high madness, true devotion and showbiz savvy.

"The naked Nagas marching to the river, like sparks from some primordial fire, the people of dust with arms held high.  There is a pleasure of being mad that only the madman knows." - Ira Cohen (it takes one to know one).  85 minutes approx.

Exploring The Himalayas - Travel Video.  VHS.  Questar Video.

Some of the most magnificent scenery on earth is featured in this travelogue, which takes the viewer to the northern Indian state of Kashmir as well as to the nation of Nepal. 
   Nestled in the Himalayas, these once forbidden lands are now accessible to travelers, though this video notes they "can be seen as a tourist, but to experience them, one must be an explorer."  The route followed by travelers in this tape takes them from the elaborate houseboats of Kashmir's Dal Lake to the ruggedly forbidding terrain at the base of Mount Everest. 

   Much of the itinerary, including grueling mountainous treks that can last for nine days, isn't for the faint of heart, not to mention those with an aversion to high altitudes.  But the stunning sights of the towering Himalayas and the instant immersion into both Hindu and Buddhist cultures encountered on the way make for a trip like no other on earth.

   Highlights of this video include a visit to a monastery where the Tibetan culture flourishes inside Nepal, and the sights in and around the unique city of Katmandu, where painted eyes of the Buddha look out from the towers of stupas.  This is an entertaining look at a remote part of the world as it opens its arms to Western tourists.--Robert J. McNamara.  60 minutes.

Hidden World Of The Bengal Tiger - Travel Video.  VHS.  National Geographic.

The battle of the sexes was never this brutal.  In National Geographic's "Hidden World of the Bengal Tiger", you'll watch from atop an elephant's back as Lakshmi, a mother tiger, tends to her young in the face of the grave danger posed by her fiercest enemy: a male tiger.  The forest is cool, green, and beautiful, and thanks to exceptional cinematography, the viewer seems to melt into the trees as Lakshmi hunts and fends off the stalker.

    The filmmakers' sympathy with their subjects is clear and inevitably the viewer is drawn into the drama of survival in the wild, even the grim beauty of the tiger's kills.  Despite this sympathy, there is little temptation to humanize these animals--they aren't people but distant cousins at best, and their feelings and actions are profoundly distinct from our own.  These differences provide us unprecedented insight and much to learn from.  60 minutes.
