One More Step: My Journey with the world's largest contingent of school students to Everest Basecamp. Subramanyam K V

Chandra, a CEO, is impressed with the discipline, dedication and determination of a teenage mountaineer. When he tries to imbibe those qualities in his students, he ends up creating a world record by taking the largest contingent of students to the Everest Base Camp. In this triumphant memoir, he recounts his meeting with Jaahnavi planning the trek, convincing the students' parents and the training, followed by the actual trek to the EBC. In addition to Chandra's unbridled enthusiasm, "One More Step" evokes the serene, treacherous and imposing landscape of Nepal and the Sagarmatha. It also gives us a sneak peek into how the students metamorphize into leaders, when the situation arises. What happened after the trek? How did the lives of students transform? The book has it all.
