Trekking in the Himalaya
Cicerone Press (Verlag)
9781852846053 (ISBN)
An inspirational larger format book providing an overview of 20 memorable treks in the Himalaya. A stunning collection of all the best trekking ideas throughout the Himalayan range, they include such well-known classics as the treks to Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga base camps, and the Annapurna and Manaslu Circuits. The ultra-long Lunana Snowman Trek and a kora around sacred Mount Kailash in Tibet are also included. There are epic glacier treks like that to Pakistan's Snow Lake; following in the footsteps of Shipton and Tilman towards Nanda Devi, and the approach to Gangkar Punsum - the world's highest unclimbed peak located in remote Bhutan.
Unlike a conventional guidebook, detailed route descriptions are not included; the book is, however, an excellent planning resource for those who wish to venture into the Himalayas. It looks at each route in turn and provides a snapshot of what makes the trek special, helping you choose the best routes to walk. Perfect either for planning, or for the armchair explorer.
Kev Reynolds, this guide and #039;s contributing editor, has written a series of trekkers and #039; guides to Nepal as well as many books on the Alps and several guides on walking in southern England. The contributors to this guide: Steve Berry, Bob Gibbons, Stephen Goodwin, Bart Jordans, Siân Pritchard-Jones, Steve Razzetti and Chris Townsend, are all passionate about the Himalaya and have extensive experience of the region and #039;s heights.
