Gives only the "greatest hits" of Nepal trekking,
October 11, 2009 Sherpa - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Walking) (Paperback)
This book includes the biggest and most well-known treks around Nepal, and the descriptions of those treks are very detailed and comprehensive. The maps provided are accurate and helpful. If you are looking for alternatives or treks off the beaten tourist tracks, few of the featured routes fit that bill. In addition, there are very few short (less than 4 days) treks, and almost no routes within close proximity to Kathmandu. This book is good if you are coming to Nepal for less than a month and only want to hit one or two of the major treks. If you are planning to come for longer, or live here and want to explore less-touristy routes, you will need to supplement this book with your own research.
Perfect for my Annapurna Trek,

The guide was fantastic on my Annapurna Trek. From navigating to shopping, I used it at every turn. Two friends had it on their Kindle. It was good to have the paper version, though. And I can't wait to go back to Nepal!
Great Maps,

The maps in this book are great (detailed and the book will be my traveling companion). Also day-to-day trekking routes, and extra day trip ideas all provided. Helpful tips, advise on when to go and things to expect to see. A must have for trekking.
