Around this island block goes the route of the classic Annapurna Circuit - one of the great walks of the world.

Langtang, Gosainkund & Helambu - A Trekker's Guide. By Kev Reynolds. Cicerone Press. 1996, 1st edition. 'This book is a guide to two relatively small regions of this land of Shangri-La-Langtang and Helambu- linked by the sacred lakes of Gosainkund. Easily reached from Kathmandu they hold a rich diversity of landscape, culture and vegetation. The first is a high, seemingly remote valley running parallel with the Tibetan border and flanked by lofty mountains; the second is more populous, with verdant hillsides, a benevolent climate and several prosperous villages, while the lakes of Gosainkund are trapped in wild country wedged between the two. Packed with useful information for both independent and group trekkers, plus over 20 trekking routes, a glossary and bibliography, Kev Reynolds has written another outstanding Trekkers' Guide to add to those on Annapurna and Everest.'

(Nepal) Manaslu - A Trekker's Guide. Cicerone, 2000. The Manaslu trek is one of the finest and most spectacular in Nepal. This guide records the paths, villages, valleys and mountains seen along the way, yet it is not intended to take from the reader any of the mystery or surprise that such a diverse region holds. The Manaslu Himal is presently restricted to group trekkers; a number of those who venture there will no doubt be first-time visitors to the Himalaya.
Information set out in this book will give an idea of what to expect - of the preparation required before going, the physical demands of the route and a hint of the rewards to be won every single day. Day by day the trek reveals scenes of outstanding natural beauty, yet it is not only the visual splendor of a Himalayan paradise that will be remembered years after, but the smiles of local people met upon the way, their simplicity and their spirituality. A cry of 'Namaste' rings in the air - 'I salute the god within you'.
Such a greeting will enrich each hour and accompany every vision of glory. The author recommends the Nepa map of Manaslu.
