I wasn’t aware of that.
AFAIK, Alexander’s campaign didn’t go much beyond the clash with Porus, which cost Alexander heavily, and forced him to quit pressing on into India proper (some say that the soldiers feared battle with the significantly larger, better trained Magadha army in northern India - especially considering the fact that Porus himself was merely a border tribal chieftan, while Magadha was an established empire). Nepal would be located far, far to the east of where Alexander encountered Porus - a separation of perhaps 1000 miles, or more.
I too wondered about the distance from Western India to Nepal but have seen that reference more than once so I guess it is correct.
I think you underestimate Alexander’s victory over Porus. It was hard fought but a complete victory for Alexander.
I also think the reason for Alexander’s men wanting to go home was far more about years and miles from home and family than any fear of India’s soldiers but that is just my opinion.
