9781482598506: Getting High: The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal
What is the best way for the average person to see the world's greatest mountain range--the Himalayas? Fortunately, there is now a good answer. The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal is 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 are coming to Nepal for the unique chance to 'get high'. 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.

From the Author:
If you are an average person of the same ilk as myself--yet afflicted with a an especially curious nature--then you are hankering for an authentic way to see the world's greatest mountain range. Yet you don't fancy yourself as an Edmund Hilary, Maurice Herzog, or Arlene Blum. The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal allows you to 'thread the needle' around some of the world's greatest peaks, without ever having to do any technical climbing. It is widely considered one of the world's greatest treks, and trekkers from around the world are now coming to this desperately poor country to 'get high'.
From the Back Cover:
"In some basic respects, Sherpas just are not like your average mortal."

"Nepal is the poorest country I have ever visited. "And the people are the most hospitable. That is probably no coincidence."

"I was a fish out of water in this land of cold, altitude, and rushing water."

"Life is not self-sustaining at really high elevations. In a sense, one is making a break for it."
