One day, he took her on a special journey into the mountains. During the trip, they ate lunch by a river, saw yaks, played in the snow, looked at Mount Everest, heard the notes of a Santoor, and watched mountain goats climbing rocks. At the end of the journey, Minam promised to respect and protect the mountains.
