Trekking and Climbing in Nepal (Trekking & Climbing Guides)

Rating:
Summary: Preparing and Enjoying Your Trekking and Climbing in Nepal
Review: I have purchased just about all of the trekking guides, including descriptions of trekking peaks, that are available for Nepal, but always felt that they lacked a little something. This book has the little something that makes it better than most of the trekking guides. It combines essential trekking information for major treks along with great descriptions of climbing routes all written compactfully in one easy to manage book. It is thorough, well-written and very complete. It not only describes the trek or climb, but also provides a good brief history, alternatives, good graphics and a great strip maps which provide altitude, time, distance charts which I find very helpful. It's well written and has good maps and a lot of useful information in charts as well as text. The photos are excellent and both beautiful and useful. Overall, I found this to be the most useful single trekking guide and began to use it immediately.
