£14.00

Accomplished walker and trekker Kev Reynold’s Cicerone guide to Annapurna is one of the most comprehensive guides available for those wanting to explore the roof of the world. Seen from the lakeside town of Pokhara in central Nepal, the Annapurna Himal is a tremendous wall of snow and ice capped mountains which dominates the northern horizon. It is one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes and also one of its most popular trekking destinations. With twelve 7000m summits, this staggering range is navigated by way of the classic Annapurna Circuit, one of the greatest walks in the world.

The guide is organized into four sections detailing the wealth of opportunities available to trekkers wanting to explore the area- the Annapurna circuit, Annapurna Sanctuary, Pilgrim’s Trail to Muktinath and the Ghandruk Foothill Trek. These feature attractions as diverse as the world’s deepest valley to some of Nepal’s hill villages and mountain views. An extensive introduction includes information on how to plan a trek, where and when to go, permits and preparations, health matters and interaction with local people and culture. Details about lodges, tea-houses and Nepalese villages are also featured. Detailed trek descriptions are included for ‘tea-house trekkers’ and those travelling with an organized group and are accompanied by colour photographs illustrating some of the breathtaking highlights of the routes along the roof of the world.
