Customer Reviews

Don't trek without it.

This guide was all you need for trekking in the Annapurna Region. The maps were great as were the recommendations on guesthouses, trekking times and food. People with other trekking guides (IE LP) asked to read my guide as they realized how good it was.

The Best!

This is definitely the best guidebook to carry while trekking in the Annapurna region: loads of maps with most of the teahouses labeled, accurate times for both directions, interesting cultural information, small so as to make it more portable, and fairly up to date. I used it in November 2007, so there are some changes as one would expect, but still is excellent. Highly recommend!

Fabulous book!

I did the Annapurna Circuit trek (Around Annapurna) last September with this book. I was my bible.The book has very good chapters about Nepal in general, Kathmandu and Pokhara but it's strength lies in the trail maps and text.The maps are very very detailed (you can't get lost...), they indicate where is the next steep climbing and how much time does it takes to the next village. In the text you can find recommendations for eating and lodging (that never miss...).The book covers all the popular treks in the Annapurna region but also offer side treks for more adventrous trekkers.The bottom line : Worth every Penny!

Bryn Rocks!

This guide is all you need for the Annapurna. Beats the pants off Lonely Planet. Great maps, highlights, places to stay, etc.; small and lightweight; good gear list for preparing, info on when to go; bits on Kathmandu and Pokhara. We hiked the entire circuit and used Bryn several times each day.

Detailed information with excellent maps

I found the information in the book was great help. The maps together with the estimated timings were particularly helpful in deciding the route to take. In addition to the treks Bryn Thomas also gives useful information on places to stay.We used the book when treking from Jomsom to Pokhara and it was invaluable.
