The year is 1650, and Sangwa Dorje, Buddhist adherent, is about to die. Lost in a snowstorm high in the mountains, his fate is sealed...until a beastly scream announces that he is not alone in the wilderness. At the roof of the world, where the slightest misstep means death, he must struggle for survival; yet what he discovers in the snows high above the Arun valley, will change his life forever.
A thrilling tale of survival and adventure high in the Himalayas, The Steps of Arun chronicles a forgotten moment in time. Upon the shoulder of Taboche, Sangwa Dorje will learn that not everything in this frozen Shangri-la is what it seems, and that sometimes, the struggle for survival can only be matched by the journey within.
