‘If the Annapurnas present an enticing goal, there can be no better source of information than Kev Reynolds’s Annapurna – A Trekker’s Guide.
… Each trek has been thoroughly researched and lovingly described …
bringing back fond memories and recalling detail I found impossible to
fault.’
‘This is a good guide book covering all the essentials and a bit more which still manages to be almost pocket sized.’
‘Kev describes the beauty and fascination which make this region such an attractive destination for the trekker. If a reader were in any doubt about undertaking a trek in the area, the author’s enthusiasm for the region and its people clearly extols its merits, but if this were not enough the excellent photographs will clinch the deal. … While the guide gives clear specific directions, its principal strength lies in the additional information it provides the visitor about the history of the area, the activities of the local people, their religion, ecology, the history of exploration and mountaineering, and much more. … This is an excellent book. If you are going to the area, buy it. If you are just researching a trip, buy the book and reserve the tickets, it will get you hooked.’
