The best guide, A real lifesaver for planning your trip
My boyfriend purchased two guides to assist us in Trekking up to Gokyo Ri in our Nepal backpacking expedition. The book alone got us safely through the entire trip without ever becoming seriously lost (although it helps to be able to ask passing locals too). Best of all, we happened to bump into the author at a cafe in Kathmandu before the start of our trip!

For the most part this book is decent. It is made better by the fact that it is almost impossible to get lost on the Everest or Gokyo treks. The author is in love with himself and spends lots of time describing things that have nothing to do with you finding the trail. The maps are hand written and not to scale. If it weren't obvious you might get lost. Unfortunately...
