The Gold-Laden Sheep and The Sacred Mountain (Nepali: '''Sona Dhwandi Bhed Te Suchha Pahad / सोना ढ्वांदी भेड ते सुच्चा पहाड़''') is a Nepalese mystery drama film directed by Ridham Janve.
Two shepherds living on top of an unknown mountain go searching for an aircraft that crash landed somewhere nearby even as different teams sent by the aircraft's team get lost on the mountain.
The film was shot for 21 days in high Himalaya using equipment powered by portable battery that was charged by solar energy.
The film uses very minimal background score and Sound designer Bigyna Dahal used specific ambiance sounds from the location. Director Ridham Janve and Bigyna Dahal has spent 20 additional days in the remote mountains with a custom made solar power house for MixPre-10T to record these sounds.
