Can anybody recommend a site from where E-Books & videos on trekking and mountaineering can be downloaded? Whether there is any Torrent site?

Their is no such website . You need to pay for it.

Anyway here are some good video on Himalays.

1) Michael Palin (6 DVD )
http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Palin-...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd

2) In search of Shangri-La (Michael wood):
http://www.pbs.org/mythsandheroes/tguide_shangrila.html
This is one of the best I have seen , narattion is excellent. All the 4 of Michael wood series "In Search of Myths and Heros:" are good

3) Lonely Planet series Pilot guide's of North India and Nepal are good DVD to watch.

4)in Movies "Touching the Void" is an excellent movie of human courage and determination for survival (ascent to Siuala Grande in Peru ). "Samsara" , a debut movie from Pan Nalin provide wonderful view of Ladakkh. This moview is simple amazing story line & cinematography. Check www.imdb.com for these.

5) Even Travel Video of Amarnath Yatra and Kailash Mansarovar yatra are good to watch .

Check IMF they have video from the trekker . You need to pay them. They are located at chanakya puri, new delhi.

Check Discover India on discover channel(India) , i guess on saturday/sunday .

In Books I have both Lonely Planet Trekking in Indian Himalays and Outlook (Holiday in Hills and Trekking ones).
Outlook is good value for money(200 each) while Loney planet give you in depth and covered some good treks.
