Describes the best hikes and treks in the Indian Himalaya.
This beautifully illustrated guide is an essential sourcebook for those contemplating—or dreaming of—a venture into the Indian Himalayas, from the Ladakh and Zanskar ranges in the north to the forests and rhododendrons of Sikkim on the borders of Bhutan, China, and Burma.
A variety of well-mapped treks, including some newly charted expedition routes, cover the needs of both first-time trekkers and experienced mountaineers. Color route maps, profiles, and photographs give readers a sense of 'being there,' and the guide also includes vital traveler's information on health and safety, as well as regional ecology and culture.
