Walking, hiking, trekking; Climbing & mountaineering

From K2 and Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, to Mount Kailash in Tibet, to Annapurna, Manaslu, Everest, Makalu, Kangchenjunga and many more, this book is an inspirational and detailed guide to 20 memorable expeditions in the Himalaya. The spectacular surroundings covered by the treks cannot fail to encourage trekkers to take on a journey to the greatest of mountain ranges. The treks described within this guide range from the popular to the little-known, and from gentle treks on good paths at a moderate altitude, to long and challenging routes. All of them share the scenic magnificence for which the Himalaya is justly known, as well as the sense of adventure that accompanies each journey. This guidebook will inspire trekkers to scale the heights of their potential. The passion of the authors shines through in the route descriptions and the enticing photography that documents their way. At its heart, this guide is a celebration of all that makes a journey to the Himalaya a profound experience.
