The spectacular natural landscape of giant mountains, wild deserts and deep gorges, combined with a thriving Tibetan-Buddhist culture makes Ladakh ("Little Tibet") one of the most fascinating destinations in the Himalaya.
Trekking in Ladakh is the fully revised third edition of Charlie Loram's practical guide to low impact trekking in this high altitude region of northwest India. For this new edition, researcher Jim Manthorpe has rewalked all the routes.
The book includes comprehensive trail descriptions and 75 maps covering both classic and lesser-known routes throughout:
*Central Ladakh
*Nubra
*Rupshu
*Zanskar
*Western Ladakh
*Also includes Stok Kangri trekking peak (20,188ft)
As with all Trailblazer hiking guides, the route maps in Trekking in Ladakh include features not usually found on standard maps: walking times, directions, tricky junctions, places to stay and eat, and points of interest. These are not general-purpose maps but fully edited maps drawn by walkers for walkers.
This book is much more than a hiking-route guide--all the practical information hikers need is included, from planning their trip and getting to Ladakh from North America to arranging a trek (whatever their style of trekking, from a short backpacking trip to a fully-guided expedition). There are town guides to Leh (capital of Ladakh), Manali, and Delhi, including street plans, what to see, hotels, and restaurants for all budgets. There's also background information on history, culture, and language; plus comprehensive sections on health and mountain safety.
The guide is particularly strong on environmental preservation: minimum impact for maximum insight. The author includes tips on how to travel with sensitivity and awareness through a fragile region.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Charlie Loram has never found being indoors easy. After breaking in his boots on the fells and crags of Snowdonia, northern England and the Scottish Highlands his nomadic tendencies took him to the Himalaya. For five years he wandered the high trails as guidebook writer, wilderness guide and modern-day pilgrim. His experiences there continue to inspire his attempts at living with simplicity and sustainability at home on Dartmoor, England. He is the author of the West Highland Way, also from Trailblazer and now works as series editor for their expanding hiking series.
Jim Manthorpe updated this third edition. A dedicated hiker with wide experience of trekking in both Europe and Asia, he taught English in Barcelona for three years before moving back to London where he works in Stanfords, the London travel bookshop. He is the author of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, also from Trailblazer.
