(3) 1-3 Following the death of their chief and with winter fast approaching, the Dolpo people must descend from their remote Himalayan village to trade salt for grain. Young Karma and elderly Tinle separately decide to lead caravans down the treacherous mountain passes. Inspired by the Oscar-nominated film, this story provides a fascinating glimpse of this culture. Paintings rendered in muted hues add elegance.
