Bøger om Mahalangur Himal

Sponsoreret af en australsk energidrik-virksomhed, Comeback, vender den danske bjergbestiger og BASE Jumper Jonas Overgaard sammen med sit gamle hold tilbage til Everest Base Camp. Målet er at nå Everests top. Allerede efter kort tid må Jonas og resten af holdet dog erkende, at flere fatale beslutninger fra deres første topforsøg i 2013 er vendt tilbage for at hjemsøge dem, og et sted i Base Camp er nogen ved at gøre regnskabet op. Base Camp er Michael Holms anden bog. Han udgav sin debut, spændingsromanen Jerusalemsyndromet, i 2019.

The climbing season for Everest begins in May, just about the time that vaccinations against Covid should kick into high gear. Time to start planning that little jaunt you’ve always wanted to do! Seriously, this is a lovely double-sided map with two attractive covers, so can be displayed either as Everest or Himalaya. The Everest side covers the mountain itself, with base camps and accommodations clearly shown. There are actually several interesting trails one could explore and all are shown; only one leads to the summit. The reverse side shows the entire Himalaya ‘knot’ that forms the basis for so many mountain chains. The area of coverage includes all of Nepal and Sikkim, a significant portion of Bhutan, most of Tibet, and a bit of northern India. All roads and attractions are shown. The map includes a detailed inset map for Kathmandu and another for the valley region surrounding the city. There are now half a dozen access roads into Nepal, and all are shown. East-west travel is finally available with the completion of Hwy 1401.Legend Includes:Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...
