Lonely Planet Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya 10 (Walking Guide)

Am using this to plan a hike in Nepal. Seems loaded with info and very detailed on individual trails. I will certainly consult others also but this seems great to get started learning about Nepal trekking.

I had this for an EBC hike earlier this year - granted I cut the pages out to save weight - but its as just hat I needed. Succinct and pertinent. Could have bought it in Kathmandu as well. I can imagine where I might not need it (weight) but for someone hiking in Nepal the first time this was very good.

I am so glad that I bought this book. I was planning to Trek in Nepal. I did not realize how extensive the earthquake damage was. The book clearly states which trails and which areas were affected by the earthquake.

Super helpful for me planning a trip, ultimately had this on my kindle and did the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp, and also did the Everest Three Passes from Jiri. This book was very helpful to plan times with while along the way. It was written pre-earthquake, but I found where the author said, "there may not be anything available," there was usually heaps available (at least as far as things weren't overly destroyed by the earthquakes on the aforementioned treks I did... other treks, I don't know...) Also for Annapurna Circuit, this book kinda pushes for you to bus back from Jomson/Muktinath, but IMO, the best trekking is on the west side of the circuit, you can virtually hike on the trail the entire time, unlike the eastern half of the circuit which is now a lot of road hiking, with no alternate trail to hike on. The towns are hurting for tourists on the eastern side as well. Soon enough, Annapurna Circuit will be a drive/motorcycle trip because there is road along virtually the entire loop except right around the pass.

Ordered & Timely delivered. I love Lonely Planet books for trekking.

Very thorough, gave us a lot of information and appears to be very well researched. Excellent travel guide.

All great. So good to hear about the accommodations. Well laid out and highly useful. Descriptions of treks was reader friendly. Will be traveling during monsoons, so good to hear about their deadliness.

An excellent guide to use while trekking in Nepal. We used this book and did our whole trip without a guide. When we had a question, we just pulled the book out of the backpack and read for a few minutes!

Ich habe bereits die alte Auflage besessen. Für meine diesjährige Nepal Tour (Annapurna Circuit), dann aber die neuste Auflage gekauft. Hauptroblem aller Reiseführer: Wie stark hat sich das Erdbeben von 2015 auf die verschiedenen Trekking Routen ausgewirkt? Das Buch hier erschien Anfang 2016, ein Großteil der Recherchen fand aber vor dem Erdbeben statt. So wird zwar überall darauf bezug genommen, die Aktualität entspricht aber in den besonders betroffenen Regionen nicht zwingend dem aktuellen Stand. Darauf wird im Buch auch hingewiesen, z.b. im Langtang Teil. Für die Annapurna Region die vom Erdbeben ja nahezu verschont wurde entspricht das Buch aber weitestgehend dem Stand von 2017. Das Buch richtet sich zwar in erster Linie an Indivudualisten, bietet aber auch für alle anderen nützliche Zusatzinformationen. Die Annapurna Region im Besonderen hat das Problem das tlw. die klassischen Wanderwege durch Jeep Pisten zerstört wurden. Mittlerweile gibt es an vielen Stellen aber alternative Wege (NATT), die im Lonely Planet allerdings nicht durchgehend beschrieben sind. Leider sind die Wege auch vor Ort nicht immer gut markiert, so das man jetzt nicht direkt den Autoren anlassten kann. Für mich ist und bleibt der LP hier aber das Standard-Werk, eben weil er alle Regionen grundlegend abdeckt. Wer mehr Informationen braucht, kann sich auch noch ein Buch zu bestimmten Regionen kaufen, ist meiner Meinung nach aber nicht notwendig. Lieber das Geld in eine Karte investieren - die gibt es für wenig Geld in jeder Buchhandlung in Kathmandu.

I had been to Nepal in the past, but this book's information is next level. Good investment to read about all the treks (popular and not so popular) :) Good Purchase and Good Quality.
