Himalaya is a story set against the backdrop of the Nepalese Himalayas. At an altitude of five thousand meters in the remote mountain province of Dolpa, Himalaya is the story of a tribe that take a caravan of yaks across the mountains, carrying salt from the high plateau down to the plains. This they do, in order to supplement their meagre stock of grain with which to survive the winter. The film unfolds as a story of rivalry based on misunderstandings and distrust, between an aging chief and the young daring herdsman, who is both friend and rival to the existing family that controls the caravan passage.
The film is a narrative on the both traditions and the impermanent nature of human struggle to retain and express power in the face of the Gods. "The Gods triumph" is the call that echoes at the end of the film and expresses the balancing of karmic destinies. The extreme environment of the Himalayas is magnificently contrasted to the delicacy of humanity and the beauty of Tibetan culture.
