The extreme environment of the Himalayas is the setting for a timeless conflict between tradition and the new. Each year, villagers take rock salt from the high plateau to the lowlands on their yaks. The salt is then traded for grain that will allow village families to survive the harsh winter. An aging chief and a daring young herdsman struggle over the best way to lead the caravan while the weather (and the gods) threaten to stop them in their tracks. Stunning photography and an intimate look into the lives of a Nepalese tribe.
