The first half is an exploration of the Himalayan foothills with a brief hiatus among the greenery of Hunza. The second half briefly surveys the Shalimar Gardens, before chronicling a coronation in Nepal, Katmandu. The buildings are hundreds of years old, look quite medieval, and there is some beautiful footage in the second act in the Shalimar Gardens and River Boat sequences. The last quarter hour is a tribute to the Air Force with plane maneuvers photographed from the air. The Dimitri Tiomkin score is supplemented by 4 songs written and sung by Robert Merrill.
