A Journey to the Himalayas. A Past He Barely Remembers. A Friendship That Changes Everything.
Toby is perfectly content with his life in Northern California-basketball, friends, and summer days by the pool. But when his dad surprises him with a three-week trip to Nepal, a promise made years ago, Toby is anything but thrilled. He barely remembers the country where he spent part of his childhood, and the idea of trekking through the Himalayas with his dad feels more like a punishment than an adventure.
From the moment their plane lands in Kathmandu, Toby is thrown into a world of chaos, color, and unexpected challenges. Then, an encounter with Pratik, a young street vendor with dreams of becoming a mountain guide, turns everything upside down. As they journey together into the towering peaks of the Annapurna Circuit, Toby is forced to confront not only the dangers of the mountains but also his strained relationship with his father-and the parts of himself he's been avoiding.
In this unforgettable coming-of-age adventure, Doko is a story about discovery-of past, of place, and of the people who shape us in ways we never expect.
