akshobhyavajra's Full Review: Stephen Bezruchka - Trekking in Nepal: A Traveler'...
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.
His ideas about staying in people's homes, contributing to the local economy, and leaving Nepal the way you found it, are not the usual fuzzy feel-good travel-guide schlock but concrete, practical suggestions indicative of the author's social consciousness.
From discussions on trekking styles, destinations as well as interaction and health care to the various trekking routes with complete descriptions this book will make traveling not only less stressful, but more enjoyable.
The book is much more than a travel guide - it is an education in culture, history and custom. The foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary is an added bonus to an already excellent book.
