Trekking Tibet

A travellers guide

In this thoroughly revised and updated new edition of Trekking Tibet
travellers will learn the necessities of pre-trip planning and how to seek out
the most rewarding treks in a region of the world few get to visit. The book
features one of the most detailed histories of Tibetan culture and geography
available for travellers.

New features of the 3rd edition include an expanded section on East Tibet,
with a new 15-day bicycle route around one of region`s holiest mountains. Also
included is a new trekking route over a glaciated 19,300-foot pass used by
Heinrich Harrer, author of Seven Years in Tibet.

Other new treks include a five-day tour in the popular Lhasa region of the
pilgrimage circuit of Lhamo Latsho; a new trek route over a pass used by
George Mallory in 1921 on his first reconnaissance of Everest; a two-day trek
in the Shishapangma region; and four new treks in the Mount Kailash region.
