A breathtaking journey through the high Himalaya, following a clan of Buddhist yak herders on a two-month odyssey unmatched anywhere on the planet.

Starting from the nomad’s tiny village close to the Tibetan border, viewers will shadow the group through a soaring landscape, traversing the highest mountain passes in the world, until the exhausted caravaneers eventually reach their destination - the lowland valleys of Southern Nepal. Here they trade their goods for supplies to see them through another savage Himalayan winter. The entire existence of the people known as the Dolpo-pa revolves around this journey.
