About the book
Spanning 2,400km across Pakistan, India, Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, the Himalayas offer a lifetime of trekking adventures across the most spectacular mountain terrain on earth. This celebrated Cicerone collection brings together 20 classic and lesser-known Himalayan treks, each written by an expert author with first-hand knowledge of the route. Rather than a conventional guidebook with detailed route descriptions, it provides a rich overview of each trek, capturing what makes it special and giving you everything you need to choose and begin planning your Himalayan adventure. Choose from treks spanning the full length of the chain—from K2 and Concordia in Pakistan to the Lunana Snowman Trek and Gangkar Punsum in Bhutan—with classic routes alongside remote expedition treks and sacred journeys. Plan your adventure with confidence using graded route overviews covering what makes each trek special, typical duration and difficulty, access, and practical considerations. Preparatory sections cover trekking styles, when to go, safety in the mountains, and minimum impact trekking across the diverse cultures and landscapes of the Himalayan region. Written by a team of leading Himalayan authors including Kev Reynolds, Bart Jordans, Steve Razzetti, Siân Pritchard-Jones, Bob Gibbons, Chris Townsend, Stephen Goodwin, and Steve Berry, this trusted planning companion is the perfect starting point for your next great adventure in the world's greatest mountain range.
