Tea House Treks of Nepal: A Beginner's Guide to Planning and Preparing (copy)

Tea House Treks of Nepal provides all of the information first-time Nepal travelers need to begin planning their trek in the Himalaya. 

Prior to my first trip to Nepal, I struggled to find information about trekking independently and as a solo female. Cumulatively, I have hiked and traveled in the Himalaya over the course of eight months. I have done most of Nepal's tea house treks and completed the Great Himalaya Trail. This guide answers all of the questions I had before my first hike. 

Highlights of Tea House Treks of Nepal include:

•Why Trek in Nepal?

•Intricacies of the tea house system and respecting local culture.

•Hiking with a guide, porter, or independently.

•Getting organized in Kathmandu.

•Advice for solo female trekkers.

•Guidance about hiking gear and a comprehensive checklist.

•Summaries of different Nepal tea house treks.

Note: This is not a day-by-day data book of the trail system.
