About the Book

The vast area of West Nepal holds the final secrets of the Himalaya. Unspoilt forests, isolated villages, inaccessible canyons and sublime spires remain almost untouched by the 21st century. Hidden in the middle hills and lowlands are some of the most spectacular areas for wildlife - Bardiya, Khaptad and Suklaphanta. Cultural interest is kept alive by a series of almost uncharted historic remains - ancient virtually-lost Hindu temples and overgrown Buddhist shrines that would be more at home at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.Currently the Limi Valley route, the Saipal Base Camp treks, Api Base Camp and the Rara Lake to Mugu trail are the four most popular trekking trails. In addition, a few trekkers are following the newly designated Great Himalaya Trail across the West Nepal Himalaya. Virtually no normal lodges are available in the whole region, although some are being built and others will eventually be acceptable. For many treks it's back to the camping option for the time being. That, in fact, is part of the joy of exploring most of West Nepal; it's remote, untouched and truly wild. Who could ask for more?The aim of this new trekking guide to the West Nepal Himalayan region is to introduce the different treks and mountain areas. It does not endeavour to give every intricate detail about all the hikes; the region is too vast.
About the Author: Siân Pritchard-Jones and Bob Gibbons met in 1983, on a trek from Kashmir to Ladakh. By then Bob had already driven an ancient Land Rover from England to Kathmandu (in 1974), and overland trucks across Asia, Africa and South America. He had also lived in Kathmandu for two years, employed as a trekking company manager. Before they met, Siân worked in computer programming and systems analysis. Since they met they have been leading and organising treks in the Alps, Nepal and the Sahara, as well as driving a bus overland to Nepal. Journeys by a less ancient (only 31-year-old) Land Rover from England to South Africa provided the basis for several editions of the Bradt guide Africa Overland, including the sixth edition published in April 2014. In 2007 they wrote the Cicerone guide to Mount Kailash and Western Tibet, as well updating the Grand Canyon guide. Their Annapurna trekking guide was first published by Cicerone in January 2013, with the second edition in early 2017. In 2015 they were in Nepal during the earthquakes and published Earthquake Diaries: Nepal 2015. A Pictorial Guide to the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somaliland), Australia: Red Centre Treks and In Search of the Green-Eyed Yellow Idol, a 40-year travelogue & autobiography, are all published by Expedition World/CreateSpace/Amazon. Kanchi wrote her first book, Kanchi's Tale, after joining them on the trek to Makalu Base Camp. Following a second visit to Chad early in 2017, they published Chad: Tibesti, Ennedi & Borkou, as well as Kanchi goes to the Tibesti, a light-hearted educational book about the expedition. For Himalayan Map House they are writing a new series of trekking guidebooks: Himalayan Travel Guides. All books are also available on Amazon websites worldwide.
