you don't need a map or compass.... the top is uphill and everything else is the way down
I have trekked in the area and used very basic locally available maps and the help of a local guide. These days, I would imagine that reliable maps are available thanks to the satellite images of the area.
I'm gonna do the Annapurna Circuit. I realise the path must be very well trod but i quite like maps and was just wondering if there were any reliable ones
Pop me an email with your address on I have one you can have. Its good to have a brows before you go and it gives you some orientation when you are there as to what the next village is etc.
I have just got back from 5 weeks trecking in nepal. Thamel has 1000's of map shops. I also used the lonely plannet trecking in the himilayers book which had quite a few usefull maps
Also magnetic veryation is unnessisary and quite pointless if your navigating properly and have broken down your rout into sensible legs?!?!
You can have my map of the Sanctuary, if I can find it. Bought circa 1982, it has Annapurna in completely the wrong place. Sadly the paper was too thick and sharp to use for toilet paper
