Nirvana - INDIA & NEPAL (Cinematic Travel Film)

In Search of Nirvana! A cinematic travel film created from a trip to India and Nepal a couple of months back.

This trip did a lot for me, not only was I able to experience India for a second time but I got to see two cultures who lived almost entirely at peace with each other's differences.

We spent 3 weeks traveling through the sub continent of India learning about it's history, meeting the amazing people and exploring the culture further. Then we crossed the border to the north leading to the magical lands of Nepal - a place i'll never forget. One thing that stood out was that these two cultures and their seperate religions had a similar goal; reach a state of Nirvana either in this life time or the next, I really wanted to portray this common theme in the story as well as the vibe I got from each place (India red flame, Nepal Blue flame)

This film was only possible thanks to G Adventures! Their tour took us off the beaten track, through local villages and allowed us to capture some of the most remote places.

Huge shout out to them! Highly recommended, this is the tour we used - https://www.gadventures.com/trips/delhi-to-kathmandu-adventure/AHDK/
