Kev Reynolds, who has trekked in many parts of Nepal, has also organized and led treks in remote districts and also written guides to five of Nepal’s most popular trekking regions. He is a freelance writer, photo-journalist and lecturer. He has published more than 40 books to date.
The beautiful Himalayan kingdom of Nepal attracts many visitors each year. Of course, many tourists come to catch a glimpse of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, and some even attempt to climb this peak. But let’s not forget about the country itself, its people and its many other attractions. With the help of trekker Kev Reynolds, he produces this guidebook which ensures help to anyone who wishes to visit this simply beautiful land.
This book is a very handy size that will slip into any rucksack with no problem should you wish to travel to Nepal or Tibet (also featured) which I’m sure many will after flicking through the guide. Kev has divided this into different sections, trek areas and chapters.
After reading the first couple of pages, you are left feeling like you wish you were there. There are many questions Kev answers for you from what you can do as a trekker to what clothing you should pack and other essential items. There are also other bits of information to help you cope during your time in Nepal and Tibet. For instance how much is a Rupee worth in English or American pounds or perhaps what time differences there are in different parts of this country?
Also included are photographs that really illustrate Nepal’s sheer beauty. From the peaks to the icy lakes and waterfalls - there is so much splendour it is hard to put this guide down.
What about the Nepalese people? What are they like compared to us Westerners? Kev also explores this question too. They really are the kindest most purest people in the world. I can safely say this is very true indeed knowing that one of my closest friends is from this breathtaking land himself, an absolute beautiful person both inside and out.
Perhaps you wish to communicate with these people in simple speech - a good thing to know how to do if you are in the company of a porter or Sherpa. Kev has included a section with really useful phrases so you are able to ask these people simple questions from “ how are you” to other expressions that could help you if you find you are faced with bad health and need to get help fast.
Everything in this guide is set out in an easy-to-read way so as not to confuse the reader with unnecessary details. Also included in the back pages is a bibliography and also a section with details of organisations that you can help to support by donating cash.
This guide is excellent in every way giving you everything you need to know about these fascinating and wonderful places. You’ll be packing your rucksack tomorrow.
