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.
