Setting: 1700s Nepal, high Himalayas near Mustang & Manang. Snow peaks, yak caravans, hidden monasteries.
STORY OVERVIEW
After the Churel in Palpa, rumors spread from Himalayan traders of a giant white beast — the Yeti, guardian of the mountains turned killer. Once a protector spirit of the snows, it has turned feral after humans desecrated a monastery cave. Now it stalks yak herders and villagers in the passes.
Hero: Tenzin, a young Sherpa guide and mountaineer. Skilled at climbing, hunting, and surviving extreme cold. His father is killed by the Yeti at the start, pushing him on a journey of vengeance and discovery.
Themes: Man vs Monster, survival, grief, courage, and respect for the sacred mountains.
SCRIPT
PROLOGUE
Snowstorm covers the Himalayas. Traders with yaks cross a pass. Bells jingle. Suddenly, a deep growl shakes the cliffs. Rocks fall. A giant shadow appears. Screams echo as the caravan is torn apart.
Narrator:
“हिमालका देवता एकपटक संरक्षक थिए। तर जब मानिसहरूले पवित्र गुफा तोडेर आफ्नो स्वार्थ खोजे, देवता दानव बने।”
("The gods of the Himal once protected. But when humans broke sacred caves for their greed, the gods turned into demons.")
Close-up: the Yeti’s glowing eyes in a blizzard.
ACT I – LOSS AND FEAR
Scene 1 – Tenzin’s Village
Tenzin (early 20s, lean but strong, skilled climber) lives with his father, a yak herder. They prepare caravans, share butter tea, laugh with villagers.
His father warns:
“हिमाललाई रिसाउनु हुँदैन। त्यहाँ देवताहरू सुतिरहेका छन्।”
("Do not anger the mountains. Gods sleep there.")
Scene 2 – Father’s Death
At night, Tenzin and his father move yaks through the pass. A blizzard hits. The Yeti appears — massive, 10 feet tall, white fur, ape-like face, tusk teeth.
Tenzin’s father fights with an axe but is smashed into the snow, killed brutally. Tenzin is thrown down the slope but survives, scarred.
Sad scene: Tenzin cradles his father’s blood in snow, crying, powerless.
ACT II – PREPARATION
Scene 3 – Gathering Allies
Tenzin vows vengeance. He meets:
Pema, a nun-warrior from a hidden monastery, trained in rituals.
Dorje, a blacksmith who forges special ice axes and spears.
Pema warns:
“येति केवल जनावर होइन। यो पवित्र आत्मा हो जसलाई रिसाइयो।”
("The Yeti is not just an animal. It is a sacred spirit, enraged.")
Scene 4 – Training & Ritual
Tenzin trains in the snow, lifting stones, climbing ice walls.
Dorje forges an iron-tipped spear and ice axe.
Pema teaches him a Buddhist chant that can weaken the beast.
Montage: Tenzin scars harden into determination, firelight reflecting in his eyes.
ACT III – THE HUNT
Scene 5 – First Battle
On the icy cliffs, Tenzin and his allies face the Yeti.
Dorje is torn apart in one blow (tragic, brutal).
Pema chants mantras, slowing the Yeti.
Tenzin stabs with spear but is hurled into rocks.
The Yeti’s roar shakes avalanches. They retreat, bloodied.
Scene 6 – Sad Interlude
Back in a cave, Tenzin tends Pema’s wounds. They talk about fear, family, and the weight of revenge.
Tenzin cries silently, realizing vengeance may consume him.
Pema:
“यदि तिमी केवल घृणाले लड्छौ भने, तिमी पनि दानव बन्छौ।”
("If you fight only with hatred, you too will become a monster.")
ACT IV – FINAL SHOWDOWN
Scene 7 – The Ritual Pass
They lure the Yeti to a sacred pass with butter lamps and prayer flags. Snowstorm howls.
Combat Highlights:
Yeti swings giant boulders, crushing prayer wheels.
Tenzin climbs cliffs mid-battle, leaping down with spear strikes.
Pema chants, holding the beast with spiritual force.
Yeti claws Pema fatally, she dies smiling, whispering:
“देवता फेरि शान्त पार।”
("Bring peace to the spirit.")
Scene 8 – Killing the Beast
Tenzin, enraged but remembering Pema’s words, fights smart:
He drives the spear into the Yeti’s chest.
Climbs onto its back, stabbing repeatedly.
Final move: slams the ice axe into its skull, roaring.
The Yeti collapses into the snow, dead. Silence falls.
EPILOGUE
Tenzin stands alone in the snowstorm. He plants prayer flags over the beast’s body, crying.
Narrator:
“हिमाल फेरि शान्त भयो। तर जब मानिसहरूले देवतालाई भुल्छन्, दानवहरू फेरि उठ्छन्।”
("The Himal was calm again. But when humans forget the gods, the demons rise once more.")
Final shot: deep in another cave, more giant shadows stir.
