Description

Trekking in the Himalaya provides an in-depth guide to 20 iconic treks across Pakistan, India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. This comprehensive book offers detailed information on each route, including statistics, maps, elevation profiles, historical background and what to expect on the trail. From gentle, well-maintained paths at modest altitudes to more challenging expeditions in remote terrain, this guide caters to a range of trekkers, from first-time walkers to experienced adventurers. Highlights include Everest Base Camp, K2 Base Camp and the Lunana Snowman Trek, with advice on route variants and necessary permits. For those planning a trek, this book offers valuable insights into different styles of trekking, including fully supported group treks, self-organised treks and teahouse trekking. It also provides information on high-altitude routes that may require the use of ice axe, rope and crampons, as well as useful contacts and sources of additional information.
