Filmed in the forbidden Dolpo region of Nepal under the most challenging of conditions, Himalaya captures the fast disappearing traditions of a remote Tibetan culture. Featuring a cast of mostly non-professionals, the film tells the story of a generational power struggle for the leadership of a tiny mountain village played out between its proud old chief and a headstrong young caravaner as they make their annual salt delivery trek across the Himalayas.
