For this reason, millions of visitors follow the many paths, at the base of fourteen 8,000-metre peaks, among splendid forests and dizzying panoramas, on the tracks of the fabled abominable snowman, in search of ancient monuments. The fifteen routes recommended in this guidebook contain the best of walking in the Himalayas, combining detailed illustrations with exceedingly useful advice on what equipment is needed, on when to set out, and on engaging guides, and when they are needed.
