1.0 out of 5 stars
There are better books out there,
By Vandenheuvel Dirk (Winksele, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
As a long time Nepal traveller and mountaineer I cannot recommend this book. Most Lonely Planet books are pretty good but this one has some serious competition. The maps are weak and the trekking info very superficial. The Trailblazer books for example are a much better deal and offer a much richer experience while trekking in Nepal. Nepal is an amazing country, but I would skip the Lonely Planet Trekking book an look on Amazon for better alternatives. Decide on what region you want to go (Everest, Annapurna,...) and look for a specific book on that region, you will not regret it.

Good if combined with other guides,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
This is not a self sufficient guide, but if you combine it with the Nepal Lonely Planet and some good maps it is really helpful. Why go through all this trouble, you might ask, and not get something more comprehensive. First because most travellers (I make a bold assumption) are used to the Lonely Planet style and second because being of a smallish size it is the perfect guide to keep in your pocket while you walk and check as you go along what you covered against the trek dexcription found inside.

Been there, Used it,
By Aiyana Hart-mcarthur "Aiyananana" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
I used this book during my six weeks in Nepal spring 2004 (trekking in Lantang, Helambu and Annapurna regions), and was glad to have it. In fact, I have my copy sitting in front of me right now! It gives detailed information on many of the better-traveled treks, along with some that are more out of the way. Plenty of information, including topo maps, to help you plan your trip or your day. Before I bought it, I sat down with several other guidebooks in an actual bookstore (yes, they do still exist!), and really felt that this one was the winner.
The most major component that I felt lacking was that there are many small guest houses or tea shops along most routes that are not mentioned at all, or that have sprung up since publication. But I soon figured that out on my own, and simply asked locals and other trekkers for advice. Overall, I definitely recommend this book. Enjoy your trip! I can't wait to go back! *Note: Kathmandu has some great bookstores in the Thamel (tourist) district, and many (not all) books are cheaper than in the US (maybe pirated??). If you can wait, consider buying there. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

A Must Have Guide,
By Mountain Man - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Lonely Planet Walking Guide) (Paperback)
If you are going the Nepal to trek, this is an invaluable guide. I was in Nepal for three weeks and I used this book everyday. Stan Armington knows Nepal better than anyone. He has help from people like Jamling Tenzing Norgay and many others. This is an essential guide to the trekking in Nepal.
