Book Description
A candid and unsparing account of a great outdoor adventure as experienced and recorded by photographer Tim Hauf. In both pictures and words, he conveys what it's actually like to walk the arduous Solu-Khumbu trail - step by step, day by day - along the steep, terraced slopes of central Nepal to the icy elevations of Kala Patthar and the remarkable Gokyo Lakes. This book offers a stunning vision of a legendary destination. Award-winning author Conger Beasley Jr. contributes an illuminating introduction to the history and culture of Nepal.

Great book for someone planning a trek to Everest Base Camp March 28, 2007
I would highly recommend this book to anyone planning a trip to the Everest region. Loved the book, only wish I could get a hard cover version.
Mind Tripping Back to Everest August 15, 2006

Some years ago, I travelled through Nepal, but didn't take as many splendid photos as Tim Hauf, the author of Solu-Khumbu: The Trek to Everest. His book brings all my own travel experiences back most vividly, as well as simultaneously taking my breath away. The author's diary notes bring the physical hardships of travelling in those remote areas precisely up front and personal (to say the least regarding "GI" interruptions!). It was a treat to view his photos, as they made me feel I was walking right along side of the author, seeing and feeling with all my senses all that those haunting and mesmerizing mountains and Nepal's friendly people offer to the Western trekker. I'm too old, now, to attempt that kind of travel, but I open this book and lo and behold, "I'm on the road, again."
Kudos to Tim Hauf, and a heartfelt "thanks for the memories".

The author has captured, perfectly, the land and people of eastern Nepal. This is a photo journal one can read over and over with great pleasure.
Great Memories of the Trek! August 27, 2003
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My husband and I made the trek to Everest three years in a row and like another reviewer said, Tim took the pictures we wish we'd taken. We started out treks in Lukla and the pictures made us wish we had started in Jiri. The text is excellent, but the photos are incredible. They show just what the trek is like and we've gone thru the book several times since we received it, reliving the three most memorable vacations of our long lives. I would recommend this book to anyone who has made the trek and to anyone who would like to!
Solu-Khumbu - like being there! January 24, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a personal tale of the approach to Mount Everest rather than the often told climb of Everest. In this the author gives the reader a feeling of the Himalayan people, the livestyles of those generous and courageous helpers to the trekker. By sharing his own story of trekking alongside his gorgeous photos, Tim gives the reader a personal excursion without the toil. The reader celebrates the end of those 29 days of trekking as a heroic act that he also has just completed. I can't recommend this book highly enough, and I am not a trekker!
