5.0 out of 5 stars As Good as it Gets!
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2011

Trekking in Nepal is an excellent guide for anyone seriously looking to travel there. The upside of this book is it is all inclusive. This book walks you through every category of information you will wonder about before you go. It thoroughly discusses all preparations you'll need to take, customs you'll want to be aware of, and realistically where you can expect to go and how to get there. It also has lots of great information about how to realistically make a trek to Nepal with minimal funds, and how to travel lightly there without negatively affecting the local community.

The only downside to this book is it is getting a little dated. Some of the statistics are already obsolete. Many of the routes and roads also need to be updated. While this book is a goldmine of great information, it is probably necessary to purchase updated trail maps. Either way, I'm sure anyone interested in learning about trekking in Nepal will enjoy every page of this great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, from someone who just returned from Nepal.
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019
It is a little dated but still full of useful details. Author is very sensitive to ecological, cultural and historical issues and is rather philosophical in his perspective. Well worth reading, not so much as a contemporary travel guide but as fine novel to luxuriate in on a rainy afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ask not what Nepal can do for you . . .
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2009
I lived for a year in Nepal, and this book was absolutely indispensible to me (the medical advice alone probably saved my life). Moreover, it was as relevant to me after a year as it was the day I stepped off the plane. Bezrushka is keenly aware of both the damage and the benefits that tourism brings to a country like Nepal, and his highest priority in this book is to make travelers sensitive to their own cultural, economic, and social impact. He does this, however, without sanctimonius finger-wagging. The book is consistently eloquent, perceptive, deeply informative, and highly practical at every level, and it stands in stark opposition the exploitative spirit that pervades all too many contemporary travel guides.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exhaustive, entertaining and educational guide
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2000
Stephen Bezruchka has prepared a valuable and complete guide to trekking in the Nepal / Everest region. The book offers practical advise from years of personal experience for anyone thinking about a trip to the area. Bezruchka also creates a much needed ecological awareness and offers substantial insight into the culture of Nepal. The book is much more than a travel guide and just plain interesting. I don't often give books five stars, but this work was beyond my highest expectations - a labor of love. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best trekking guide to all Nepal
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2000
This is the book that first opened my eyes to Nepal and its culture. It's much more than a guidebook: it has a sensitivity and compassion for its subject that is almost unique in the field of travel writing. It doesn't coddle you with if-it's-day-three-this-must-be-Namche route descriptions, but lets you find your own adventure and gain profound insights along the way. It also has an extensive medical section.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about trekking in Nepal!
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2003
Fifteen years ago I started my trekking company's operation in Nepal with information from this book! The trek descriptions and the information on organizing a trek offer all the nuts and bolts. The background information is fascinating as are Dr. Bezruchka's views on poverty and culture shock.
