Enchanted by the snow-capped terrains of Ladakh, he would now use the backdrop of another zone of Himalayas, the Gangotri glacier belt in his upcoming, ambitious project 'Lala' but Ladakh would sure be caught in his celluloid frame one day, ace film maker Goutam Ghosh has said.
"We must preserve the pristine nature of Ladakh. Tourism is good, but we must dwell on the eco-friendly aspects. Otherwise we will all invite disaster. Look at the faces of the children and people of the place, look at the slopes glistening in sun rays in the photo frames. Can we afford to see this Paradise devoured by commercial reasons," he said.
"Yes I am in favour of any campaign to save this place, to save earth. I will do whatever I can," Goutam told PTI while inaugurating Exhibition Ladakh by upcoming visual artist and film producer Surajit Hari.
"I am always fascinated by the Himalayas. It's people and myriad trees, flowers and streams on the way side. My documentary 'Silk Route' had captured the traditional route which linked central Asia with China, dating behind centuries," he said.
"And what an experience, it was just another place of earth, a different place of earth inhabited by God's own children. I will forever cherish that experience. Wish Ladakh, a cinematrographer's delight as I can again experience here, be taken up extensively one day," the Moner Manush director said.
