A large coffee-table type book featuring over 400 photos from renowned photographer Richard L'Anson. Chapters include Kathmandu and Kathmandu Valley (112 pages), Chitwan (20 pages), the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary (54 pages), Upper Mustang (20 pages), and the Mount Everest Khumbu region (51 pages). The front cover is Annapurna South Face.

Kathmandu is the largest portion of this perfect pictorial book. In addition to Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur tourist attractions, there are photos of other smaller villages in the valley and from Nagarkot. There are also photos of many of the festivals including Dasain, Indra Chatra, Holi, and Losar.

The Everest chapter includes Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Thami, Khumjung, Phortse, the Gokyo Valley, and the views from Gorak Shep and Kala Pattar.

The Annapurna chapter begins with Pokhara and Sarangkot. The views from Dhampus, Ghandruk and Poon Hill precede the photos from the Sanctuary itself.

Upper Mustang features photos from Kagbeni to Lo Manthang, pasing through Chuksang, Chele, Ghemi, Charang, Drakmar, and Tama Gaon.

This is my favourite Nepal photo book. It features all of the main tourist areas. The photos are spectacular.

Wonderful photos of Nepal. Photos of all the places we have been. Even though we take thousands of photos while trekking it's great to have a coffee table book that captures it all.

Here's a coffee table book full of STUNNING pictures of Nepal. Organized by area of the country, including Mustang, it is a fascinating look at a place few of us will ever have the chance to visit.
