The Trekking Peaks of Nepal – Bill O’Connor

Opened as recently as 1978, the trekking peaks of Nepal offer a towering potential for adventure and exploration far removed from large scale and expensive expedition climbing. This highly readable and practical book is the definitive guide to the 18 permitted trekking peaks, complete with detailed maps.
Bill O’Connor’s intimate knowledge of Nepal’s mountains has enabled him to compile a vast store of information on the trekking peaks and to describe approach treks, climbs, camps and descent routes. Also included is much historical and geographical back- ground, and suggestions for alternative and new treks.
With sections covering travel, accommodation and the organisation of expeditions – including notes on permits, equipment, health and safety – this unique and comprehensive book contains much hitherto unpublished material.
Bill O’Connor is an experienced trekker and mountaineer. As a professional writer, photographer and climber he has travelled extensively in Europe, North and Central America, East Africa and Asia. He is a member of the Alpine Climbing Group and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
