An amateur travelogue produced by James Madden of a visit to the Sagarmatha province of Nepal beginning in the city of Bhaktapur visiting a number of temples and local markets and walking near the Hanumante river where an animal is sacrificed. Out in the countryside, the group travel to a small town or village close to the Himalayan mountain range for better views of Mount Everest. The final part of the film is of a flight around Everest where passengers take more photographs. A busy narrow street in the city of Bhaktapur shows pedestrians walking past, some carrying sacks or baskets on their heads. More people ride through the crowds on bicycles, others pushing them. A rickshaw rides past a market stall selling fresh produce from baskets laid out in the street. Crowds walk past a number of decorative temples and shrines. A stone shrine is shown inside Nyatapola Temple, constructed in five storeys, a man rings a large temple bell. Outside a potter turn vases or jugs on a wheel, other examples of his work sit drying nearby in the sun. A road leads back towards the temple is busy with pedestrians passing a stall. Inside Hindu gods flank the stairway leading up to the top of Nyatapola Temple. Outside the three storey roofed Bhairab Nath Temple carved tigers guard the entrance. A man holds a toddler in his arms looking down onto a bridge over a river. Beside the water, a man washes a chicken. A boy rings a bell and a couple walks away from the river with a cup of water. A group gathers around a cat or other animal which is sacrificed on a mosaic tiled floor, its blood spouting down steps into the river where a woman washes her clothes nearby. Views of smaller temples with crowds of people walking past, a cow stands in the middle of the path. Along the Hanumante river people sit on steps leading into the water, a cow lays on the ground overlooking the river. Another cow makes its way slowly along a road passing pedestrians traveling in the opposite direction. People pass through an ornate gateway, back at the river a man washes himself while others wash clothes nearby. A tourist group walks through a rural mountain village where a boy sifts rice next to a nearby house. Goats rest on a pathway beside a tall building leading to another decorative temple with stone elephants guarding an entrance with lines of prayer flags hanging off it. At a local market, men sell bags of beans or pulses, on a web a large spider is seen against the blue sky. At a fast-flowing river a woman and two children cross in a wooden basket pulling by a man. Safely deposited on the riverbank the man returns to the other side letting the basket slide back at speed. In the distance through the trees, the snowy peaks of the Himalayas can be seen. Nearby a group of women walks past carrying milk churns. In another town Buddhist monks walk past another large temple. Prayer flags hang down from the top of the spire, eyes have been painted on the base of the spire. Pedestrians walk along a white washed boulevard where stallholders sell their produce outside a temple, one using a set of scales. Standing on a rocky outcrop a man looks out across a mountainous landscape. Others walk along a track passing two boys resting beside a wall, one carrying a basket on his head. From a lookout point beside a building, the Himalayas can be seen in the distance. In a field a farmer ploughs using cattle, another man works in the shade of a building. In the distance the peak of Mount Everest through the clouds. From the shore of a lake, the peak of Mount Everest is much closer. A local man paddles a boat on the lake as a western man stands beside a white post with writing on it. Again, through the clouds, the peak of Mount Everest is revealed. A woman sits on the ground looking out towards the Himalayas. From an airplane, Mount Everest below enveloped in the clouds. People onboard take pictures of the summit as the aircraft passes. The film ends back in town with crowds of pedestrians walking along narrow streets passing shops selling colourful fabrics and decorative temples nearby.
