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.

Enjoyable and human
I really enjoyed the relationship with the author, his guide and porter. I thought it offered a richer and more interesting perspective and understanding of a trekking trip.

Funny, heartwarming tale
I really enjoyed this book. Having been to Nepal I related to the warm hospitality and stunning scenery but the narrator's accents were truly awful!

An ordinary journey by an ordinary Auzzie
A detailed account of what to expect on the three passes trek. My favourite part was listening to the terrible Nepali impersonations but ended up feeling his judgements didn't add anything to the story but some what appreciate his honesty.
