Bhutan - A trekker's Guide

£15.00

Cicerone’s comprehensive trekker’s guide to Bhutan contains 27 treks of between 2 to 24 days in length, offering a unique perspective to region. A thorough introduction offers advice on preparation and fitness, when to go and how to get there, trekking in Bhutan as well as the people and culture of this country.

Located on roughly the same latitude as Cairo, Bhutan is roughly 10 percent larger than Switzerland. It is a mountainous country with an extensive natural border formed by high mountains to the north, rising to over 7000m, with virtually impassable jungle to the south. The country has been closed to foreigners for centuries, with only a handful allowed across the border; always a place of mystery, its lack of contact with and influence from the outside world have resulted in a truly unique culture.

The guide includes:

- All the stunning trails, accompanied by full route information
- Information on preparation, health issues, permits and local culture
- Information to ensure a minimum-impact trek
- The author's own stunning photographs, and full-colour sketch maps of each trek.
