5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive book on trekking in the Everest region, August 27, 1997
By Mark Casey (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Trekking the Everest Region (Nepal Trekking Guide) (Paperback)
Trekking in the Everest Region is an outstanding guide to the area. It completely obviates the need for a guide on the Everest Base Camp trek. The maps are outstanding, and the itineraries are better than the ones given by Lonely Planet. Can't say enough about it

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for trekking in the Everest area, May 5, 2000
By Chris Neilson (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trekking in the Everest Region (Nepal Trekking Guide) (Paperback)
This book is far better than any of the general trekking in Nepal books if you are heading to the Everest region. The itineraries are great. The maps are very helpful and the directions completely eliminate the need for a guide. If you are planning on heading to the Everest area, this is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitively the best book to have on an Everest Trek, February 21, 2001
This review is from: Trekking in the Everest Region (Nepal Trekking Guide) (Paperback)
Before my trip to Nepal I ended up purchasing almost every english book on Nepal I could find. The Bezruchka book is definitely the bible on Nepal but is very large and doesn't have specifics about the Everest region. This book by Jamie Mc Guinness is very up-to-date and has great trail and village maps which are very accurate. There are suggested itineraries which are very nice but the format is easy to follow on the trail in case you decide to go on your own route. The suggested day hikes for acclimitisation days were very good too.

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. Read more
