When his son dies returning from Tibet's salt lakes, aging Tinle blames Karma, his son's friend, and refuses to give him his blessing as the new chief. So he organizes a rival caravan to take the salt to lower Nepal to trade for grain. He, a few old men, his son's widow, his grandson, and his second son, a monk, set out on the arduous journey. Fearing storms, Karma has led his caravan out of the village before the auspicious day ordained by the lamas. But Tinle's group catches Karma's before the final pass.
