Everest: A Trekker's Guide : Trekking routes in Nepal and Tibet

Nine treks in the Everest region are fully described step-by-step, including all the classic routes from Lukla (and Jiri) to Namche, and onwards to Thame, Gokyo, Thangboche, Lobuche, Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp. Two additional routes in Tibet are covered, from Tingri to the Rongbuk monastery and Kharta to the Kangshung Face.

The treks vary from 1 to 11 days in length, with the longest covering 65km and the shortest just 18km. Dedicated sections on cultural interaction and minimum impact trekking provide essential information on how to get the most out of the region while respecting the traditions of its local people and its natural landscapes.

The Himalayan kingdom of Nepal is a trekker's dream, and Everest, the highest mountain on Earth, is a lure to all who love high, wild places.
