Description

What is the best way to see the world's greatest mountain range--the Himalayas? It's the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, the most popular footpath in Asia. Its genius lies in its design. Trekkers wind their way around and along some of the world's greatest peaks, ultimately getting near 18,000 feet, without ever having to do any "technical climbing." This Circuit is widely considered one of the world's great treks; mortals from all around the world come to Nepal for the chance to make the journey. Bill Walker ("Skywalker") struggled his way through the Annapurna Circuit in 2012. He has written this entertaining tale of his journey in this land of Sherpas, cold, altitude, and rushing water.
