Samir Patham and Sauraj Jhingan, the fearless co-founders of Adventure Pulse, have unveiled their gripping memoir, What’s Your Everest: A Path to Passion and Purpose, published by Bloomsbury India. This raw, heartfelt story of grit, loss, and relentless perseverance isn’t just about scaling the world’s highest peak—it’s about conquering life’s toughest battles.

After six years of crushing setbacks, including surviving the 2015 Nepal earthquake and avalanche that killed 17 at Everest Base Camp, and abandoning their summit bid just 900 meters from glory, Samir and Sauraj returned for one final climb. Their book, released today, dives into the chaos of frostbitten hands, collapsing tents, and frozen oxygen tanks at 8,000 meters, while revealing the quiet strength of camaraderie, hot tea, and UNO games in the face of extreme adversity.

“This isn’t about reaching the top,” Sauraj explains. “It’s about the courage to walk away and come back stronger.” Samir adds, “Everyone faces their own Everest—failure, doubt, or loss. This book is for anyone daring to try again.”

The memoir draws powerful parallels between mountaineering and life, offering lessons on leadership, humility, and resilience. It recounts their decision to turn their tent into a relief hub during the 2015 disaster, showcasing leadership forged in crisis. The duo also honors Mingma Tenzi Sherpa, who summited Lhotse and led their final Everest climb without oxygen, embodying sheer resolve.

What’s Your Everest? has earned raves from icons like Anand Mahindra, who calls it a call to “pursue passion with unwavering determination,” and Anupam Kher, who praises its “inspiring tale of self-discovery.” Mountaineer Peter Hillary lauds its grit, while cricket legend Krishnamachari Srikkanth hails its exploration of resilience.

As founders of Adventure Pulse, Samir and Sauraj have spent 15 years guiding everyone from kids to seniors across the Himalayas, Africa, and South America. Their company champions inclusivity, safety, and the belief that every climb—literal or metaphorical—is about more than the summit. This memoir is a testament to their mission: to help people find their purpose, no matter the odds.
