An aging chief's last stand, lessons for the new, and the education of a young chief-to-be played against harsh Nature in Nepal's Dolpo. When his son dies returning from Tibet's salt lakes, Tinle blames Karma, his son's friend, refuses to give Karma his blessing as the new chief, and organizes a rival caravan to take the salt to lower Nepal to trade for grain. He, a few old men, his son's widow, his grandson, and his second son, a monk, set out on the arduous journey. Fearing storms, Karma has led his caravan out of the village before the auspicious day ordained by the lamas. Tinle's group catches Karma's before the final pass; the two stubborn men lock wills with Tinle's grandson watching.
Leave your thoughts about Himalaya.
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereAn ambitious film with much to admire; it falls short, however, of delivering the convincing drama that the material suggests it might have been. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewMark HalversonBuilds in dramatic strength and is gorgeously photographed. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannScene after scene, shot after shot is so gorgeous that Valli is profligate with them. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesMaybe with some big Hollywood stars the film would seem a bit trite, but, with these honest, straightforward actors, the story is completely engrossing. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn astonishingly beautiful and thematically rich Nepalese film that presents many vanishing elements of a faraway Tibetan culture. |
| Filmcritic.comJonathan CurielSeeing Himalaya is to bear witness to a proud and rich people. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenCompelling fare even if it were merely a travelogue. |
| Detroit NewsSusan StarkAn especially valuable alternative to standard summer movie fare. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickThe story here is kept pleasantly simple. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasComplexity and personality among key figures keeps Himalaya involving throughout its grueling journey and lifts the film above the merely ethnographic. |
