Treatment: "JOURNEY INTO THE THIRD EYE" - Pg 13

EXT. CAMPSITE - NIGHT

The infinite veil of starlight, enabled them to push on well
past dusk. They have taken shelter in a cave, at the base of
a large spur of softer rock. At 17 000 feet, the rarefied air
and ominous terrain have left the mules too cumbersome to
continue further. The Monks are leading the exhausted mules
off the trail, into another area nearby.

END SCENE

Over the next several days, the group battles through a vicious snowstorm. They break a fog barrier, which leads them into a rare work of nature. The ancient volcanic climate has transformed a valley over eons, into a tropical paradise as far as the eye can see.

The group go about making the most of the splendours, from the exotic fruits and plants, to the beach-like shores. Sunji had wondered into the forest alone for a time being. He has a very surprising, brief and harmless encounter with a YETI.

Later in the day, Lama Bashir eases the young Monks' angst of the creatures.
