Author Description

Looking for adventure writer Tony Hill made the spontaneous decision to trek to Everest Base Camp in April 2015. After visiting the ancient temples and squares of Kathmandu, he flew into 'the most dangerous airport in the world, ' Lukla, and with a group of fellow travellers from around the world set off up the Himalayan valleys Everest bound. Only 3 days into the trek they were in a mountain village when the devastating Nepal Earthquake struck. Lucky to escape uninjured - buildings crumbled at their side, boulders crashed through the ceiling of their teahouse - they find themselves stranded. Journey with Tony Hill, before, during and in the aftermath of the earthquake (and many aftershocks), and through his writing and eyes (via 59 stunning and haunting photographs) experience breathtaking beauty, the bonding and humour of a diverse set of characters, then overwhelming tragedy, and the fragility, resilience and spirituality of the human condition, as he slowly makes his way out of a disaster zone and home.
