TREKKING IN NEPAL 7TH ED
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
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. ... Read More

While the completeness of Bezruchka's guide cannot be faulted the tone and style certainly don't compare to Jamie McGuinness's book on the same topic. In comparison this book was quite a chore to read especially since it is peppered with sermons on globalization. An extremely capable guide but there are good alternatives you may find more enjoyable.

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.
Rating: -
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.

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. ... Read More
