Champa, a nine-year-old girl lives in a village on the banks of a river in Punjab, with the Himalayas in the background. A dreamer, she is obsessed with the idea of seeing the world beyond her little village. On a visit to the Baishakhi mela, she gets lost and is rescued by the Banjaras, the Indian gypsies. Champa's story carries us irresistibly along as she travels into the Himalayas, visits exotic places, learns about new people, legends and festivals, and eventually finds her way home again.
