The Film

A survival thriller rooted in the Himalayan wilderness and the pressure economy of Yarsagumba. Designed for international festival and partner evaluation.

Expanded Logline

In a landscape where oxygen is scarce and margins are thin, a group pursuing Yarsagumba discovers that the greatest threat is not the mountain, but what the mountain extracts from human nature.

Trust becomes currency. Silence becomes strategy. Survival becomes negotiation.

Core Themes

Survival under moral compromise
Greed as a force multiplier
Resilience forged by isolation
Revenge as consequence, not spectacle

Synopsis (Spoiler-Safe)

A seasonal expedition heads into the high Himalayas to harvest Yarsagumba, a commodity that can transform a family's future in a single season. The terrain is unforgiving, but the real danger arrives quietly: suspicion, private bargains, and the gradual erosion of shared purpose.

As pressure rises, alliances shift. A single incident fractures the group, turning a fragile community into a field of competing interests. What begins as a pursuit of livelihood becomes a contest of control--over resources, over truth, and over each other.

In the end, the mountain remains indifferent. The outcome is decided by choices made in thin air.

Context

The story is grounded in the Himalayan wilderness--altitude, isolation, and the practical systems that emerge where state presence is minimal and survival is negotiated locally.

Yarsagumba functions as both opportunity and distortion: it concentrates risk, accelerates temptation, and compresses morality into a season.

Global Relevance

While rooted in Nepal, the film examines a universal pattern: what people become when the environment removes comfort, witnesses, and easy exits.

The central conflict is not cultural explanation--it is human behavior under scarcity.

Director's Note

Restraint, consequence, and landscape as a moral frame.

Vision

I want this film to feel like the Himalayas: quiet, vast, and uncompromising. The mountain does not announce danger. It allows people to reveal themselves.

Himalayan Gold is not designed to explain its world through dialogue. It is designed to let the landscape and the pressure economy shape behavior, and to let the audience recognize the human pattern without being instructed.

Why This Story

The Yarsagumba season compresses a year's hope into a narrow window. That compression creates a particular kind of truth--practical, uncomfortable, and undeniable.

The betrayal at the center of this film is not a twist. It is a consequence.

Nepal & Landscape

Nepal's landscapes are often presented as postcards. Here, they are conditions--altitude, distance, silence, and limits. The Himalayas are not decoration. They determine what people can afford to be.
