Himalayan Hiking/Trekking Guides

We highly recommend the Nepal 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 topographic maps. These maps, in English are a must for any trekker. We also highly recommend the new hiking/topographic maps from Nepa Maps also. These highly detailed topographic maps, nearly all new or redone in 1998 or 1999, cover all of the classic and many new hiking/trekking routes in the Himalayas.
