Tibet Overland: A Route and Planning Guide for Mountain Bikers andOther Overlanders

Rating:
Summary: outstanding
Review: I've done a lot of travelling and mountainbiking throughout the world including the extreme 'Central Otago Rail Trail' and this book rates as one of the best I've read and used in years - the quality of information is outstanding and the author deserves further acolades for what he has done to promote this region of the world.

I'd recommend this book be read with a Devino.

Summary: A book that will make crossing the impossible, possible.
Review: If you are planning to carry out a serious adventure across Tibet and the Himalayas, then this book will be your proverbial Bible. It gives remarkably accurate descriptions of exactly where you will be from day to day, is easy to read and understand, and makes you feel safe in an otherwise difficult environment.
I am not a serious cyclist, but with this book it was possible for me to cross what is regarded as some of the most challenging and rewarding off-road tracks on earth.
It offers useful suggestions from what to pack to recommendations of how far to ride per day and it gives you detailed advice on where you can get food and water and even, when availiable, beds.
This book is pricelss to anyone heading that way...
