SYNOPSIS

[EN] 2020 August 30, during the lockdown, I joined this 5 days pilgrimage adventure with 250 Himalayan Sherpas. The Mela is held every 12 years on Dudhkunda, a lake located near the border of Nepal and Tibet. Locals believe gods live there. Pilgrims conquered many unknown dangers under Shaman and god's blessings. Sherpa's singing between the sky and mountains composed a magnificent opera.
