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.

Nell'estate 2018, Andrea Scherini e il suo lupo cecoslovacco Nepal scalano in poche settimane diverse cime oltre i 4000 delle Alpi Pennine, e raggiungendo Punta Zumstein (4563m) conquistano il record europeo di altitudine mai raggiunta da un cane. L'impresa si diffonde su tutti i media e Nepal diventa un beniamino dei social: per tutti è il "cane alpinista". Questa è una grande storia di amicizia a sei zampe e dall’estate del 2015 i due sono inseparabili in mille incontri e lezioni di vita. Nepal che scala a 3 mesi i primi 2000.

Ram Krishna Das Vaishnaba, or Dude Dehari Baba, or Milk Baba was so named because he lived forty-five years entirely on one small cup of milk per day. No other food ever passed his lips. Baba lived in a small room by the Bagmati river at Pashiputinath temple, five kilometers outside of Katmandu. His beautiful matted hair, or jata, was over twenty-six feet long. Baba was a lifelong devotee of Lord Rama and God Brother and confidant of Neem Karoli Baba, the iconic guru of Baba Ram Das.
