About this listen
An SBS Gurkha soldier's account of how his tough Nepali upbringing and the lessons learned in his army life enabled his record-breaking conquest of all 14 of the world's 8,000m peaks in under seven months. What happens when ambition meets limitless imagination?
Enter Project Possible: a seemingly unreachable goal to climb all 14 'death zone' mountains in record time. The previous record was seven years, 10 months and six days.
I did it in six months.
This is the inside story of my incredible adventure. As a kid in Nepal, barefoot in the mountains, I developed the resilience I needed to later join the Gurkhas, one of the most fearless forces in the British Army. Then in the Special Boat Service I served in some of the world's most dangerous warzones.
But my next challenge was even more of a test.
In Beyond Possible I reveal how I conquered the world's most dangerous peaks, breaking several world records in the process. With my elite training, I was able to adapt quickly to the lethal conditions, rarely phased by the lung-burning temperatures or brutal winds. Fear became irrelevant because I had belief.
In the death zone, I came alive. But even after facing countless challenges, right at the peak of my achievements, my world fell apart when my mother was hospitalised.
But I survived and ultimately conquered the most deadly and hostile mountains on the planet. Beyond Possible is my story.

Inspirational to say the least
A few years ago I came across Nimsdai when trying to fundraise for a H4H Trek across the Sahara Desert. He not only helped me but shared my goal with other people around the world who also donated towards my fundraising goal. Reading his book confirmed to me again how humble and dedicated Nimsdai is to helping those around him. If you are on the fence about buying this audiobook all I can say is give it a chance, you will not regret hearing about Project Possible and many life lessons along the way. Thank you Nimsdai!
