"Highway to Dhampus" is notable for being the first project filmed entirely in Nepal by American filmmakers. The story follows a rich British heiress named Elizabeth (Rachel Hurd-Wood) who travels to an orphanage in a remote area of the country to get her picture taken making donations and laughing with children in hopes of improving her reputation. Her photographer, Colt (Gunner Wright), sees her superficial attempt at caring for the children as a mix between disgusting and downright insulting. In the course of their adventures, they become entwined in the lives of two Nepalesian people: their pilot, Ajit (Raj Ballav Koirala), and the head of the orphanage, Laxmi (Suesha Rana).
