In the story, Austrians Heinrich Harrer (Pitt) and Peter Aufschnaiter (Thewlis) are mountaineering in British India in an area that is now Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan. When World War II begins in 1939, their German citizenship results in their imprisonment by the British in a POW camp in Dehradun in the Himalayan foothills, in the present-day Indian state of Uttarakhand. In 1944, Harrer and Aufschnaiter escape the prison, and cross the border into Tibet, traversing the treacherous high plateau. While in Tibet, after initially being ordered to return to India, they are welcomed at the holy city of Lhasa, and become absorbed into an unfamiliar way of life. Harrer is introduced to the 14th Dalai Lama, who is still a boy, and becomes one of his tutors. During their time together, Heinrich becomes a close friend to the young spiritual leader. Harrer and Aufschnaiter stay in the country until the Chinese military campaign in 1950.
Screenplay
Austrian climber Heinrich Harrer (Pitt) leaves his pregnant wife, Ingrid, in Austria to join Peter Aufschnaiter (Thewlis) in a team attempt to summit Nanga Parbat in India. They are imprisoned by the British, when World War II begins, in a POW camp in Dehradun. Ingrid sends him from Austria divorce papers.
In 1944, Harrer and Aufschnaiter escape the camp and maneuver entry into Lhasa, Tibet. Tibetan diplomat Kungo Tsarong (Mako) offers them his guestquarters. Tibetan translator Ngawang Jigme (Wong) befriends them with bespoke western style clothing. Aufschnaiter will marry the tailor, Pema Lhaki.
At wars end, Harrer intends to return to Austria. His son, Rolf, rejects Harrer as his father. Harrer is to construct for Dalai Lama a cinema at Potala Palace and discuss with him the world that Harrer comes from.
China's People's Liberation Army invade Tibet. Ngawang leads the Tibetan army at Chamdo to halt the advance. After the Battle of Chamdo, Ngawang has the weapons supply blown-up.
Tsarong tells Harrer at the surrender treaty ceremony that the Tibetan guerrillas could have held the mountain passes long enough to appeal to other nations for help if the weapons had not been destroyed. Harrer shames Ngawang for betraying Tibet by returning the jacket that Ngawang had made for him.
Harrer wants to take away Dalai Lama after the coronation ceremony, but he will not abandon his people. Dalai Lama encourages Harrer to be a father to his son.
Harrer is in Austria in 1951. Rolf rejects meeting Harrer and listens to the music box, left by Harrer, that was gifted to Harrer by Dalai Lama.
Harrer is leading Rolf, now a teenager, climbing a mountain that when they rest atop, the Tibetan flag is seen.

Some time after the film's release, director Annaud confirmed that two crews secretly shot footage for the film in Tibet, amounting to approximately 20 minutes of footage in the final film. Other footage was shot in Nepal, Austria and Canada.

There are a number of significant differences between the book and the film.
In the film, Harrer is hailed as a 'German hero', and replies "Thank you, but I'm Austrian". To have said that in 1939 would have been extremely bold, since Austria had been part of Greater Germany since the Anschluss of April 1938. In the book, Harrer says nothing about any such remark. Harrer at the train station in 1939 appears hostile to the Nazi Party, taking the Nazi flag with reluctance. The real-life Heinrich Harrer was in fact a Nazi Schutzstaffel (S.S.) NCO.
The film makes his son a key theme, but in the book, Harrer does not mention his wife or son. He had in fact been married and divorced, as the film shows, but his ex-wife's new husband was killed in the war and Harrer's son was raised by his ex-wife's mother. In his autobiography, Harrer gives details of his contact with his son, but nothing to support what the film shows. In the book, Harrer says there was little to tie him to home as one of the reasons for staying in Tibet and not returning to Europe.
The pre-invasion visit of Chinese Communist negotiators to Lhasa, arriving at an airfield constructed by Tibetans, and their departure for China after a brief conference with their Tibetan counterparts—including the desecration of the sand mandala as well as the "religion is poison" remark as depicted in the film, do not occur in the book or in any of the numerous histories that have been written about the matter. There was no air link until Lhasa Gonggar Airport was constructed in 1956—when the Dalai Lama visited Beijing in 1954, he used the still-incomplete road system.
The whole sequence of negotiations and the installation of the Dalai Lama as ruler are out of sequen
