Each year Tibetan children are found making a perilous journey across the Himalayas sent by their parents to join the Tibetan Diaspora in Nepal and India. In most cases they will never see their parents again. Beyond the Himalayas is a moving beautiful story of a particular group of Tibetan children who longingly hope to see their parents but who have entrusted themselves to their "mentor" who cares for them. The mentor too has some skeletons in his closet for which he tries to make amends.
