Himalaya(हिमालय) movie soundtrack The Lake

Himalaya (Nepali: हिमालय), 1999, also known as Himalaya - l'enfance d'un chef and as Caravan, is a Nepalese movie directed by Eric Valli and was funded through France-based corporations. It was the first Nepalese film to be nominated in the Best Foreign Film category at the 72nd Academy Awards.
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.
Himalaya was shot in widescreen over nine months on location in a region that can only be reached on foot, with all characters played by real chiefs, lamas and local villagers. Director Eric Valli has lived in Nepal since 1983 and is also a photographer and author. His work is regularly published in National Geographic, GEO and Life magazines.
The film depicts not only the life style of the Dolpa people on the Tibetan Plateau but also their traditional customs, for example celestial burial.

I have been to this part of the world and have had the pleasure of meeting real Tibetan monks in Nepal. It was an unforgettable trip. Part of me (my soul) is and will always be up there in the Nepalese Himalayas.

Words are of no help here for me . . . feeling though has a resonance with the source of our beautiful Himalayan brothers/sisters spirit that is the epithany of our oneness. Absolute Beautiful Truth.
