The Himalayan Experience – Jonathan Chester

THE HIMALAYA IS A VAST AREA still relatively untouched by the twentieth century. This highest of all mountain chains stretches across Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, India and Tibet. The sweeping, rugged landscape of ice and rock, clouds and white water, is an exhilarating destination for trekking, climbing, rafting and skiing, or appreciating the wildlife and people of the region.
THE HIMALAYAN EXPERIENCE encompasses everything from the geography to the politics and culture of the Himalayan countries, and gives practical details about clothing, equipment and health precautions needed to travel there. With over one hundred superb colour photographs, maps and essays by some of the world’s most experienced trekkers and climbers, including Doug Scott, Christine Gee, Lincoln Hall, Warwick Deacock, Greg Child and Sorrel Wilby, and a Foreword by Tim Macartney-Snape, there is plenty to interest everyone, from the experienced adventurer to the armchair explorer.
