I found this guide excellent during my recent trip to Nepal with Explore.
It has a very interesting hundred-odd pages introducing the country, including History, Culture, Food & Drink, and Outdoor Activities. Then the main sections are: Kathmandu, Around the Kathmandu Valley, Kathmandu to Pokhara, Pokhara, the Terai (lowlands) and Mahabharat Range, and Trekking. The last covers a few treks such as the famous Everest Base Camp Trek.
While these sections covered everything I did on the trip, and probably everything that 95% of Western visitors do, potential purchasers should be aware that about half of Nepal - i.e. the parts not readily accessible by road - is not even mentioned. This book should really be called "Tourist Nepal" to warn those few who wish to go off the tourist track and therefore need a more specialised guide.

if you're travelling to the most common tourist areas in and around kathmandu and pokhara then this is the book for you and its the book you'll see most tourists carrying. however if you're planning to go off the beaten track away from the usual tourist trappings then consider the rough guide instead.

This is a must have. As far as I know 2009 is the latest edition, but it's still up-to-date. There are slight price differences, but you can always bargain...Buy it, read it, this is Nepal. (The delivery was quick, 2-3 days.)
