Mountains of Glory (A Himalayan Tale) - The Adventures of Sona & Nile

When the snow leopard, King Jiva, goes for his morning hunt, he is intercepted by a poacher who intends to kill him. Wounded by the poacher's shot, Jiva finds refuge in a cave nearby. Meanwhile, word gets back to his wife Queen Prithvi and the other snow leopards that King Jiva has died. A change of leadership ensues under the devious works of snow leopards, Levora and Shade.

Jiva's two sons; the two cubs, Princes Sona and Nile, learn to survive against many odds and together they help to bridge a bond of trust with a human mountain girl named Devi, who helps them find their way back to their mother Queen Prithvi, now a banished Queen. Together they seek refuge under the mountains of glory with the help of their aunt, Princess Sneha but unbeknown to all, lives King Jiva who has survived from the brink of death with the kind help of Devi's father, Parvat, a local mountain man and conservationist. The tale goes that the King will return once more.
