This is a guide book, for the illustrated overview see its companion book CWA329.

It may not have the aura of Everest or Annapurna, but the majestic mountain of Manaslu (8163m) has a remote charm that calls on all trekkers to discover the undiscovered. Lush forests, terraced hillsides, mysterious canyons, gargantuan summits and Buddhist culture are enticing. For so long beyond the horizon, the Tsum Valley is astonishing and secretive. Hilltop monasteries, traditional villages, colourful people, enigmatic yaks and hundreds of mani walls, chortens and kani gates add to the compulsive blend.

Authors Bob Gibbons and Sian Pritchard-Jones first visited Nepal in 1974 and 1982 respectively. Bob arrived overland from the UK in an old Land Rover, at a time when Boudhanath stupa was surrounded by fields and Freak Street was host to travellers and hippies. Soon after that trip he worked as an overland driver and trek manager for Exodus. Sian trekked around Annapurna en route home from work in New Zealand, meeting Bob in Kashmir on another trek. Between 1983 and 1998 they led over forty trekking groups each in Nepal, making at least fifteen ascents of the famous Poon Hill. They continue to visit Nepal regularly, writing or editing books about the Himalayan region, trekking and occasionally driving overland.

A novel of high adventure, great storytelling and moral purpose, based on an extraordinary true story of eight years in the Bombay underworld - A literary masterpiece... at once erudite and intimate, reflective and funny... it has the grit and pace of a thriller' Daily Telegraph

'A publishing phenomenon' Sunday Times

'A gigantic, jaw-dropping, grittily authentic saga' Daily Mail

'In the early 80s, Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison to India, where he lived in a Bombay slum.

There, he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia, working as a money launderer, forger and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi, fall in love, and spend time being worked over in an Indian jail. Then, in case anyone thought he was slacking, he acted in Bollywood and fought with the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan...

The Philippines has bounced back from the Covid era remarkably quickly. Manila, the capital, has always been under-rated as a touristic destination, but it is the principal access point to the country and has a lot to offer visitors. It is, of course, a huge city, with hotels concentrated south of the Pasig River, adjacent to the historic Intramuros, a former fortress.

The new part of this map is the first-ever travel map of Luzon Island, the principal island of this country of islands., combined with surrounding islands. Americans are particularly drawn to the Bataan Peninsula and the small island of Corregidor as a result of WW2. Tourists are drawn to the beautiful beaches of Palawan and Boracay or to Mayon Volcano, or the rice terraces on Banaue. This is a far more detailed map, due to its scale, than one covering the entire island nation.

Fra ITM: The Indonesian island of Sumatra is not only the largest portion of this nation of islands, it is also very close to Singapore and Malaysia, so has easy connections to both countries as well as to other parts of Indonesia. Side 1 shows the northern portion of Sumatra, with an excellent inset map of Medan, its major city. Several offshore islands are included, as well as a significant Top Attractions list. Side 2 shows the bulk of the island as well as a portion of southern Malaysia, Singapore, and various islands in the vicinity. Ferry routes to Java, Malacca (part of Malaysia), the Lingga and Riau Archipelagoes and Singapore are included, as well as inset maps of Padang and Palembang, the two major cities in the south. Sumatra has a well-developed road network along its western side, but not along its eastern portion, except in the far north. Thus, the island remains a place for adventure travel waiting to be discovered.
