It is possible to drive to the base of Mt Everest -- I have so
driven over one hundred times while leading the international team
that set aside this mountain and the six million acres around as a
national park. But what might happen on the way? This book tells
you how to deal with those surprises. Broken crank case? Bandits?
Avalanche overwhelming your car? What to do if you hit a yak? And,
once you leave the Everest area, what is it like to drive through
the rest of the Himalaya ... from India to Afghanistan? This book
has stories about that also. And, if the stories are hard to
believe, the photographs in the book add stark proof that you will
be having a splendid adventure. The book is dedicated to Dan Terry
-- one of the truly great Himalayan drivers -- who was brutally and
tragically assassinated by terrorists while leading a medical team
up out of a ford in a river just south of the magnificent Wakhan
Corridor in Afghanistan.
