Trekking in Tibet: A Visitor's Guide, 2nd Edition

By author: Gary McCue Published: 1999

Treks ranging from two to 10 days allow travelers to make the most of their time

Includes a trek to Mount Kailas, one of Asia's most sacred pilgrimage destinations

Inclusion of day hikes offers alternatives for non-trekking travelers

Bordered by the Himalaya on the south and the Karakoram on the west, Tibet offers trekkers an experience like no other. In this updated edition of Trekking in Tibet, McCue prepares us for a sojourn into this mystical, other-worldly land presenting detailed discussions of pre-trip planning, the most rewarding treks, as well as an educational glimpse into the country's history and culture. This guide can be used for everything from a day hike near the forbidden city of Lhasa to a two-week trek in the shadow of Mount Everest's magical summit. Route information includes trek duration, distance, elevations, and highlights of the route. An invaluable Tibetan language chapter, visa and permit information, equipment and safety tips make this the definitive guidebook on trekking the rooftop of the world.


Reviews:
Review Stephen Bezruchka, Trekking in Nepal -
When forbidden, I desperately wanted to go to Tibet. When it opened, my enthusiasm languished. McCue's book has re-lit the fire!
Review Galen Rowell, author -
Tibet will always be mysterious, but this first-rate guidebook gives accurate and comprehensive information to trekkers who desire the kind of off-road travels that led me there in the first place.
Review New York Newsday -
If you really want to get into Tibet, this book will surely take you there

"Shop's business grows despite remote locale
By BRETT FRENCH
Of The Gazette Staff
SILVER GATE - Just outside his office window, Jay Schifferdecker can see the aquamarine gash of The Killer Pillar, a 30-foot frozen waterfall he likes to ice climb. Out the back door, there is a Nordic ski trail he glides on almost every day, snaking into the snow-muffled silence of the Beartooth Mountains."
