As they trek through the Himalayas, Colby and Lhakpa encounter a variety of challenges, including altitude sickness, bad weather, and treacherous terrain.

Along the way, Colby learns about the Sherpa people, who have lived in the Himalayas for centuries. He learns about their culture, their traditions, and their deep connection to the mountains.
Colby's journey culminates in a climb to the summit of Kala Patthar, a peak that offers stunning views of Mount Everest. From the top of Kala Patthar, Colby can see the vast expanse of the Himalayas, stretching out before him like a frozen ocean.
'On The Roof Of The World' is a beautifully written and deeply personal account of one man's journey to the Himalayas. Colby's vivid prose and stunning photography bring the region to life, and his insights into the Sherpa people and their culture are both fascinating and inspiring.
