A Himalayan road trip that blends humor, heart, and the weight of letting go.Shakya, a young chef nicknamed Phattu for his fear of heights, sets off for the mountains with two unusual companions — the ghost of his father and a mysterious figure known as Death. What begins as a quirky escape from his life soon becomes a journey into love, loss, and self-discovery.Along the way, he meets Nikki — a spirited Sikkimese girl who lives like the wind, teaching him to embrace joy and face his fears. But at 17,000 feet, on the banks of Gurudongmar Lake, Shakya must confront a truth that could change him forever.Blending magical realism, coming-of-age drama, and adventure fiction, Shakya takes readers through winding mountain roads, mystical villages, and the depths of the human heart. A moving, funny, and heart-pounding tale for fans of Paulo Coelho, Khaled Hosseini, and R.K. Narayan.
