(65 mins) Valentin Birant & Kilian Bron, France.
After acclimating to the vibrant atmosphere of Kathmandu, Kilian Bron and his team set off towards the remote Dolpo region.
There, far from the beaten path, their journey unfolds along dizzying ridgelines and through isolated villages seemingly frozen in time. A raw and authentic adventure, shaped by the unknown, by risk, and by discovery. The very essence of travel in a valley steeped in history.
This project is built on three essential pillars: isolation, human connection, and a return to the roots of adventure. More than a simple immersion, it shines a light on the often-moving realities of the country and the current challenges facing a valley like Dolpo. Isolated, but for how much longer?
Kilian and his team are not mere observers. They engage with the children, discover their daily lives, and reflect on the meaning of their presence there. How can they contribute in a fair and meaningful way? How can they faithfully convey the intensity of this adventure and share its essence with the world?
This journey is not just a quest for incredible MTB lines. It is a deeper exploration, a constant search for meaning and for connection.
