One of the good movies that I have watched in a long time!
Movie – Seven years in Tibet
Story is about Heinrich Harrer who is interested in climbing the Himalayas, and the adventure takes him to Tibet, where he gets to meet Dalai Lama (during his childhood) and interact with him.

The challenges he faces over seven years of his life and the unique experiences and friendships and the sacrifices he makes to keep and lose them, have been portrayed really well!
Movie was released in 1997, and is available on Netflix now.
A good movie to watch when you are alone!
