A long trip across one of the most beautiful areas of the Himalayas, following the largest annual migration that exists on this planet. Every year, the families of yak shepherds, who are Buddhist, gather their belongings and prepare to leave their mountain houses before the winter destroys them. Theirs is a voyage against time and the advancing cold. The entire existence of the Dolpa-pa revolves around this voyage that takes them on a long trek through unconstrained landscapes and across the highest passes in the world, until the entire caravan of men and animals, exhausted, reaches its destination, the level valleys of southern Nepal. Here they sell their goods and take on supplies to face another brutal winter in the Himalayas.
