There can be no country so rich in mountains as Nepal. This narrow
strip of territory, lying between Sikkim and Garhwal, occupies 500
miles of India's northern border; and since this border coincides
roughly with the 1,500-mile-long Himalayan chain, it follows that
approximately a third of this vast range lies within or upon the
confines of Nepal. So starts this breathtaking account of
mountaineering and exploring this isolated and awe-inspiring
country by one of the most famous men in mountaineering. Many of
the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
