A new Nepali feature film titled Himalayan Gold has officially been announced under the writing and direction of Dhiraj Rajbanshi. The film was formally launched with a Shubha Muhurat ceremony held at Ganesh Temple, Kamaladi, Kathmandu on Tuesday.

According to the makers, Himalayan Gold aims to present a story of life’s struggle, courage, and hope, set against the majestic backdrop of the Himalayas.

Set in the year 1992, the film follows the journey of a young village girl who climbs the Himalayas in search of Yarsagumba (a rare medicinal herb), only to encounter a ruthless group of robbers.

Director Rajbanshi explained that the Himalayan region will not just serve as a scenic backdrop but will be portrayed as a living, breathing character within the story itself.

With experience in over a dozen Indian advertisements and music videos, Himalayan Gold marks his first feature film as a lead cinematographer.

With its gripping storyline, powerful performances, and breathtaking visuals from the Himalayas, Himalayan Gold is expected to deliver a cinematic experience that blends adventure, emotion, and realism.
