Lowell Thomas is narrator for this very unique film, with several spot sound recordings to add further authentic color. The six reel version (No. 759) traces the entire trip from the meeting place at Venice, across India, to Darjeeling, where the ascent proper began. The shorter version is confined to the heroic climb. The non-climbing section is available as a single reeler: ACROSS INDIA TO TIBET (No. 584).
