He is eager to discover the elusive "House in the Woods," which belongs to Rup Singh, a pandit who is deeply connected to the legends of the region. Through his discussions with his friend Olesen and his initial climb through dense forests, Ormond learns of the mysterious past surrounding the House and the tragic history of the Maharao, furthering his desire to experience the beauty and spirituality of the Himalayas. As he makes his way, he encounters a sense of danger and the unknown, compounded by the eerie expectation of a chance meeting with a mysterious veiled woman, hinting at deeper issues of love, loss, and enlightenment that will unfold throughout the story.
