Thousands of trails interconnect through this scenic and storied region, some well traveled and others all but unknown; all beckon the adventurous visitor. Here is the only guidebook to cover the entire Himalayan system, including the hill regions of Pakistan (Chitral, the Gilgit River Valleys, and Baltistan); India (Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Garhwal, and Sikkim); all of Nepal; and parts of Bhutan. An indispensable item for any Himalaya-bound traveler, whether booking through agencies or independently, this trekker's guide will help you discover the spectacular landscapes and rich cultural experiences to be found in this special part of the world.
