Highly Recommended! I have trekked extensively in Nepal, including the Everest region three times, and this is the BEST trekking book I have ever used. Ever!
The maps are especially detailed and accurate - perfect! The trekking times are consistent and accurate, allowing me to plan how far I want to trek in a given day. I like the fact that the guidebook only focuses on one region, giving it a lot more detail. I even use the Kathmandu City Guide for my stay in Kathmandu.

I have used other Trailblazer guides before and have found them to be extremely helpful in planning for a trek. This guide provides a concise overview of the country, culture and essential "need to know" information which make for a more enjoyable experience during your visit. If you have room for only one guide in your pack this would be a good choice.

Excellent book. Information is up to date. Having been there before, I see it is accurate, precise and written in a style to convey important information clearly and correctly. Anybody wishing to go to Nepal and in particular, the Everest region, must read this book first. This book is not available in Australia (and maybe some other countries)I have been keen to read this travel guide for a long time and now I have it. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
