HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: A Classic Guide to Himalayan Trekking —
By the late twentieth century, trekking in Nepal had become one of the world's premier adventure travel experiences.

Written by a Trekker for Trekkers.
Unlike many general travel guides, this volume is based on routes personally walked and mapped by the author. Its emphasis on reliable navigation, realistic planning, and firsthand experience has made it a valued resource for both first-time visitors and experienced Himalayan trekkers.
