Bryn Rocks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trekking in the Annapurna Region, 3rd: Nepal Trekking Guides (Paperback)
This guide is all you need for the Annapurna. Beats the pants off Lonely Planet. Great maps, highlights, places to stay, etc.; small and lightweight; good gear list for preparing, info on when to go; bits on Kathmandu and Pokhara. We hiked the entire circuit and used Bryn several times each day.

Detailed information with excellent maps,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trekking in the Annapurna Region (Nepal Trekking Guide S) (Paperback)
I found the information in the book was great help. The maps together with the estimated timings were particularly helpful in deciding the route to take. In addition to the treks Bryn Thomas also gives useful information on places to stay. We used the book when treking from Jomsom to Pokhara and it was invaluable.

Fabulous book!,
By Moti Cohen (Tel Aviv, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trekking in the Annapurna Region (Nepal Trekking Guide S) (Paperback)
I did the Annapurna Circuit trek (Around Annapurna) last September with this book. I was my bible.The book has very good chapters about Nepal in general, Kathmandu and Pokhara but it's strength lies in the trail maps and text. The maps are very very detailed (you can't get lost...), they indicate where is the next steep climbing and how much time does it takes to the next village. In the text you can find recommendations for eating and lodging (that never miss...). The book covers all the popular treks in the Annapurna region but also offer side treks for more adventrous trekkers. The bottom line : Worth every Penny!
