About the book
What trekker doesn't dream of getting off the beaten track? Of escaping
the congestion of the main 'tea-house' trekking routes and experiencing
the real Nepal?
Untouched yet easily accessible,
the Gauri Shankar Trekking Area due west of the Everest region is a 'Nepal
in miniature'. Only some 150 kilometres from Kathmandu, it offers everything
from lush forests to the high snow peaks of the Himalaya - not least holy
Mt. Gauri Shankar itself, abode of Lord Shiva and his consort, the goddess
Parvati. The region offers scenic trekking at relatively low elevations
(generally below 3,000 metres), which means few worries about acclimatisation.
No special permits are required, nor are advanced trekking or mountaineering
skills. |
