“The children don’t see intentions.”

Introduced by Intrepid Travel’s Leigh Barnes

Set in the Annapurna Mountains of Nepal, two disparate worlds collide when spoiled British heiress Elizabeth James (Rachel Hurd-Wood) visits a small orphanage in Nepal in an attempt to fix her image through charitable acts. Amid hope and tragedy the British heiress, the headmistress of the orphanage (Suesha Rana), a savvy bush pilot (Raj Ballav), and an American photojournalist (Gunner Wright) discover they, too, have reasons to change.

The Intrepid Group is the global leader in delivering outstanding adventure travel experiences and were recently profiled in the New York Times for their Namaste Nepal campaign to encourage people to return to Nepal. Intrepid Travel will be donating 100% of profits from their Nepal trips this year to rebuilding and relief efforts.
