An inspirational larger format book providing an overview of 20 memorable treks in the Himalaya. A stunning collection of all the best trekking ideas throughout the Himalayan range, they include such well-known classics as the treks to Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga base camps, and the Annapurna and Manaslu Circuits. The ultra-long Lunana Snowman Trek and a kora around sacred Mount Kailash in Tibet are also included. There are epic glacier treks like that to Pakistan's Snow Lake; following in the footsteps of Shipton and Tilman towards Nanda Devi, and the approach to Gangkar Punsum - the world's highest unclimbed peak located in remote Bhutan. Unlike a conventional guidebook, detailed route descriptions are not included; the book is, however, an excellent planning resource for those who wish to venture into the Himalayas. It looks at each route in turn and provides a snapshot of what makes the trek special, helping you choose the best routes to walk. Perfect either for planning, or for the armchair explorer.

A new guide to trekking in the Karakoram! Nestled in the north of Pakistan, the Karakoram is one of the wildest and most desolate mountain ranges in the world. Tourism here is not as developed as in Nepal, but the people's friendliness and willingness to help trekkers achieve their goals is unquestionable. Traversing turbulent rivers and tumbling glaciers below sheer rock faces and soaring towers, a trek to K2 Concordia will give more than enough memories to last a lifetime. If K2 is not for you, the adjacent Hindu Kush mountains near Gilgit, Hunza and Ishkomen offer more gentle, shorter but also spectacular trekking. Pakistan has been in the news for all the wrong reasons - it's time to put it firmly back on the tourist map where it truly belongs.
