One of the most beautiful and unspoilty areas in the world, this Cicerone guidebook covering Everest and the Khumbu region of Nepal, one of the great trekking regions. The guidebook includes all the main trekking routes, including from Lukla (and Jiri) to Namche, and routes to Thame, Gokyo, Thangboche, Lobuche, Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp. Includes the route in Tibet from Tingri to the North side and Rongbuk monastery/glacier. Great for the following seasons: Pre-monsoon (March-May) and post-monsoon (October to late November) are ideal. Monsoon and winter treks are possible, but much more difficult.
