Abode of the Gods – Tales of Trekking in Nepal

An inspirational book capturing the wonders of trekking in Nepal, in eight
vivid stories from Kev Reynolds› journals exploring the Himalaya. Landscape,
people, sounds and smells come to life as they are encountered for the first
time in the Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Kangchenjunga, Manaslu, Dolpo, Mugu
and the far west of Nepal.

On eight treks in Nepal’s Himalaya; to Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, Annapurna,
Everest, Langtang, Dolpo, Api and Mugu, the true spirit of trekking is
captured in Kev Reynolds› reverence, curiosity and ongoing love of the world’s
greatest mountain range.

The Himalaya are no ordinary mountains. Stretching through five countries and
dwarfing all others, they have captured the imaginations of travellers and
mountain lovers for centuries. While some seek to reach their snowy heights,
many more step out onto winding and climbing trails to trek through the heart
of the mountains, and live – if only for a little while – the life of an
adventurer.

The first time a trail is explored offers unknown beauty and fresh experience
around every turn. This is Kev Reynolds› collection of eight such discoveries
along popular trails and into lands previously locked away. Brought to life in
vivid style, Reynolds evokes the scent of fragrant rhododendron jungles and
travelling past terraced fields, hillside villages and ancient temples. Then
exploring into hidden valleys beyond the reach of civilization, and on to
towering, ice-locked peaks that scratch the sky.
