Cicerone Everest: A Trekker's Guide: 9 Treks in the Everest Region (Cicerone International Trekking Guides) Paperback – January 27, 2012

This book is a thorough account of the various treks through the Solokhumbu region. If you intend to trek without a large group this is a great text to have with you. Maps, very specific directions, and detailed descriptions will help you find your way from trail to trail. Great advice on acclimatization. Heed it!

A great book! We had a great time hiking from Lukla to the Everest Base Camp, without a guide, only by using this book. Very fine details and great timings!Disadvantages : The rates are a bit off dated (3 years past since the current edition), and there are a lot more places for accommodation at the moment.Five stars well deserved! *****

I felt this is a great resource with amazing detail of sights to see and reviews of hotels and restaurants. I took this book on my trek to Mt Everest base camp from Lukla and enjoyed referring to it frequently when in the towns we spent extra time. I was impressed that the author was able to gather so much local information including which trails to take and those to avoid.
