Nepal: NGS Adventure Maps

View titles

Waterproof and tear-resistant trekking maps of Nepal’s most popular hiking areas: Mt Everest, the wider Khumbu Himal region, Annapurna and Langtang. The maps were prepared by the NGS/Trails Illustrated team responsible for the highly acclaimed hiking maps of the national parks in the USA, in cooperation with the Himalayan MapHouse, publishers of a wide range of trekking maps of Nepal.

Contours with additional spot heights, relief shading and colouring for glaciers and forested areas present the topography of each area. The maps show settlements, roads and trekking routes, as well as extensive information for tourists: local airports, lodgings and campsites, numerous places of interest including temples, monasteries, caves, waterfalls, etc. Map ticks at intervals of 5' indicate latitude and longitude. An index of localities includes a list of peaks, passes and lakes. Sherpa spellings are used within the Khumbu area and Nepali spellings elsewhere in the country.

On the reverse of each title, a general road map of the whole of Nepal highlights the country’s national parks and nature reserves. Also included is a street plan of Kathmandu with Patan, plus an enlargement for the central Thamel area of the city. The two plans highlight hotels and guesthouses, restaurants, banks, embassies and consulates, places of interest, etc.
