Production
After the Chinese pressured the Indian government to threaten to cut electricity to the set and refuse to allow the film to set up a banking account, production shifted from Ladakh to Argentina. After the film was released, the director confirmed that two crews secretly shot about 20 minutes of footage for the movie in Tibet. Other footage was shot in Nepal, Austria and Canada. Filming location in Mendoza, Argentina:
Cerro Tunduqueral: a set was built to simulate the Tibet Parque Provincial Aconcagua y Penitentes: Used as it was the Himalayan landscape Minas de Paramillos: used natural scenery from the area.
