The Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal is a trekker's dream world. The dramatic beauty of its mountains is legendary, its people among the most warm-hearted, gentle and openly friendly that you could possibly wish to meet. From the lush foothills stepped with immaculate terracing, to the stark upper regions of snow, ice and towering walls of rock, a series of unfolding landscapes impress all who wander through. None who are lured along its trails need fear disappointment. This book is a guide to just one region of this magical land known as Solu-Khumba. Among its sparkling mountains Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, Kangtega, Thamserku, Nuptse and Lhotse each present powerful images, as do many others with less familiar names. But it is Mount Everest that naturally provides the magnet for the vast majority of trekkers and all who love the high, wild places. This second edition of the successful Everest guide leads the explorer through Nepal and the Sherpa's homeland. The mountain panoramas and lives of the Nepalese are clearly documented, together with the detailed needs of the trekker in this challenging but most rewarding region. The second edition includes all information necessary for a successful trek.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent detailed descriptions and photos,
This review is from: Everest: A Trekker's Guide: Trekking routes in Nepal and Tibet (Cicerone Guides) (Paperback)
I have a number of books on the Everest Region including Lonely Planets Trekking the Nepal Himalaya, Trailblazers Trekking the Everest Region and Berezuchas Trekking in Nepal. For details relating to route descriptions, photos, and practical info for the specific region I find this guide the best. It is very well written from its descriptions of the various main and side treks to the feel within the teahouse lodges. I have not been there yet so I cant verify the accuracy but Im very impressed. I have been posting to Lonely Planets Thorn Tree asking about various alternative trekking routes and have had some posters who had already been there say they didnt even know those options existed. The book is also smaller than some guides and the paper quality seems superior to the others. Its great to see some beautiful color photos. This guide clinched my decision to trek in the Everest Area. Hope this Helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
