About this listen

Join Gordon Alexander in Nepal as he drags his "heavy ass" over the Himalayas in this hilarious, adventure-soaked account of the Three Passes Trek, culminating in a visit to Everest Base Camp.

Together with guide Subash and porter Nima, Gordon tackles high passes in excess of 5,400 meters (17,700 feet) and explains how high altitude affects a mildly overweight road builder from sea level in the tropics. Each part of the journey brings new challenges, including sub-freezing temperatures, almost falling into a crevasse, and alarmingly warm beer.

Along the way he discovers the local Kukri Rum, traverses glaciers, interacts with eccentric and curious characters, and takes in the most beautiful views on the planet.

Contains mature themes.

I was so happy to come across Gordon Alexander's book, The Nepali Flat. It's more than just a book; it's a true experience. As I read, I felt like I was right there with him, traveling through the roads and villages of Nepal and pushing on to the highest points he reached. The author's honesty about his adjustments throughout the trip made the journey feel even more real and relatable.
What really resonated with me was how Alexander didn't just tell a story of a place, but a story of personal growth. His candid sharing of his experiences and his ability to adapt made me feel like I was a part of the adventure. I truly enjoyed the trip with Gordon and felt a real sense of gratitude for him sharing his journey with us. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves travel or just a good, heartfelt story.
