Description

"I realized I was alone and the trail had completely disappeared. I had no idea where it was, nor did I know where I had ventured off from it. I was lost, and I had backpacked enough to know this was not a good sign, not a good sign at all."

In 1984, Sylvia Verange set off on a 500 mile journey across the Himalayas of Nepal. Hiking through the breathtaking scenery, remote mountain villages, and treacherous, freezing conditions, Verange's story lays out both a historical snapshot of the region, as well as an epic travelogue of a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Part Elizabeth Gilbert, part Paul Theroux, Two Breaths, One Step follows one woman's hike through the Himalayas as she endures nature and comes to know herself.

Reviews

"Two Breaths, One Step is a weave of extraordinary natural beauty, personal determination, intriguing cultural encounters, and magical spiritual moments--a significant personal odyssey coming together during a few months trekking the Himalayas. Sylvia writes with candor and the kind of descriptive detail that makes you feel you are walking right along with her."
--Joseph Selbie, author of The Yugas

"Rich with cultural, geographical and personal details, Sylvia Verange's Two Breaths, One Step is a sensual encounter with the beauty and danger of the Himalayas. Like the artist she is, Verange paints a vivid picture of the sounds, smells and the challenges of traveling in the highest mountains in the world."
--Nancy Anderson, author of Work with Passion
