A journey from Nepal to the beautiful Tibetan highlands.
This film tells the story of a group of people from Zagreb who travel with Nepalese and Tibetan guides on a journey from Nepal to the beautiful Tibetan highlands. The journey takes them on a meandering route from Kathmandu via Lhasa to western Tibet, to make a pilgrimage, or kora, to the sacred mountain Kailash. This itinerary allows the travelers to adapt quickly to life in the mountain ranges of Tibet, without succumbing to altitude sickness. The travelers' adventurous spirits and enquiring minds allow them to step willingly into this unfamiliar environment. Of the group, only the scriptwriter - Dubravka Manola - is familiar with this landscape. She took part in a similar expedition ten years earlier and has a strong spiritual connection with Tibet. The purpose of this very special film is to create an authentic record of the travelers' adventures and experiences in Tibet.
