- across the `roof of the world`, over ice-covered passes, crossing high-mountain deserts & through some of the most remote areas on earth. This path is perhaps the ultimate walk. In 2012, Himalaya veteran Gerda Pauler set out to walk the length of the trail to raise awareness of autism in Nepal. Travelling across the country with open eyes & ears, ascending high passes, visiting isolated villages & drinking tea with the locals allowed her to see & hear things many of us might never hear, never experience

- it is a collection of stories from the very heart of Nepal & its people. From Tibetan tea & local beer to corrupt politicians & child marriage; cold nights & monsoon rain to incredible views & searing heat; & from angry yaks & giant spiders to Mr Bean & Jack Nicholson -
