TOXIC Reaches the Roof of the World: A Milestone at Umling La
In a milestone unlike any other for the book, TOXIC: Stories, Science and Remedies for a Cleaner Mind, Body and Spirit has now touched the world’s highest motorable pass. Guinness World Record holder Binndu Vora carried the book to Umling La, Ladakh, standing at a staggering 19,024 feet — making it one of the most remarkable journeys any book by Dr. Mukesh Batra and Swami Shailendra Saraswati could take.
A Book About Stillness, Reaching a Place Defined by It
There’s a fitting symmetry here. TOXIC is a book centered on cleansing the mind, body, and spirit — and it has now reached a place shaped entirely by altitude and silence, far removed from the noise of everyday life. Few books get to make a journey quite like this one, let alone to the world’s highest motorable pass.
Carried by a Guinness World Record Holder
Binndu Vora’s association with the book adds another layer of significance to this milestone. As a Guinness World Record holder, her journey to Umling La — and her decision to carry TOXIC along with her — reflects the kind of reader engagement that authors hope for: one where a book’s message travels well beyond the shelf.
Onward to the Charts
The TSS and Bloomsbury India team extended their gratitude to Binndu for this gesture, and to every reader who continues to carry TOXIC‘s message forward — one journey, one story, one milestone at a time. With the world’s highest motorable pass now behind it, the book’s next stop is the bestseller charts.
