Momo is the story of a wealthy American restaurateur trekking through Nepal to fulfil his father’s dream of climbing Ama Dablam, guided by a young porter named Dorje. As he moves through Kathmandu, mountain lodges, yak-cheese dumplings, and the lives of people whose dreams are much smaller and harder-earned than his own, admiration slowly turns into responsibility. It is a vivid, quietly tragic story about travel, privilege, ambition, labour, and the sudden moment when other people’s dreams become tied to your own.
