The book traces how Mortenson kept this promise (and many more) in the high country of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Before he left, Mortenson made a vow that would profoundly change both the villagers’ lives and his own-that he would return and build them a school. Ill, exhausted, and depressed after a failed attempt to scale the summit of K2, Mortenson regained his strength and his will to live thanks to the generosity of the people of the village of Korphe. In 1993, a young American mountain climber named Greg Mortenson stumbled into a tiny village high in Pakistan’s beautiful and desperately poor Karakoram Himalaya region. Three Cups of Tea is the true story of one of the most extraordinary humanitarian missions of our time.
