A Nepalese Journey: The Essence of the Annapurna Circuit

Rating:
Summary: stunning photography and an intimate portrayal
Review: I picked NEPALESE JOURENY recently and it is a fantastic reminder of a trip I made around the Annapurnas in April. I saw the book in Kathmandu and bought it when I returned home. The stunning photography shows not only mountains but it also shows the people you meet and the tea-houses you stay in. The text also provides a intimate portrayal of the local people who live in the Annapurnas. For anyone who is thinking of going to the Annapurna in Nepal, or anyone who has been there already like me, and wants a photo album of their trip and all the things they saw then this is a book you should have on your coffee table.

Summary: stunning photography
Review: Most photographic books on the Himalayas depict the mountains. This is a wonderful compilation of scenic shots with people and their environment. If you've done the Annapurna Circuit, it's a poignant reminder of everything you experienced. If you haven't done it, it'll entice you to go. Beautifully laid out, with plenty of explantory text it's a must for anyone planning on visiting Nepal.
