After much political unrest, tourism to Nepal is again on the rise as a
travel destination and this is a timely fully updated edition of one of
the most respected and authoritative guides to Nepal.
New
features of the 8th edition include expanded coverage of areas outside
of the primary trekking routes, as well as of less-travelled routes near
the main trekking areas. There is new «DIY» information for independent
exploring: how to make contact with villagers, use local maps, find
porters and guides, understand pricing guidelines, and arrange travel
necessities such as water purification and meals. There are new details
on trekking in the Everest, Annapurna and Langtang regions.
Co-written
by veteran Nepal trekkers with more than 60 combined years of
experience in the region, this 8th edition reflects the most current
political information and includes both popular and lesser-known
trekking destinations.
