Rich in landscape, people, and detail, Abode of the Gods is a book that captures the true spirit of Himalayan trekking through the eyes of one of the outdoor world's most perceptive and widely loved writers. Written with reverence, curiosity, and an ongoing love of the mountains, it will leave you longing to step out onto a winding Himalayan trail yourself.
Travel the Nepal Himalaya through eight vivid journal accounts spanning treks to Kangchenjunga, Annapurna, Manaslu, Everest, Langtang and Helambu, Dolpo, Api to Jumla in Nepal's farthest west, and Mugu, each one a first exploration of a new and extraordinary corner of the range.
Experience the full richness of Himalayan trekking life through Kev's encounters with local people, mountain guides, and fellow travellers, brought to life alongside the scents of rhododendron jungles, the sight of terraced hillsides and ancient temples, and the overwhelming scale of the peaks themselves.
Discover the hidden valleys of Inner Dolpo and the remote far west of Nepal through two of the most remarkable chapters in the collection, exploring landscapes that were locked away from the outside world for generations and remain among the least-visited trekking destinations on earth.
Follow the evolution of Kev's relationship with Nepal across three decades of return visits, from his first awestruck encounter with the Himalaya in 1989 to a final journey to Mugu in 2012, tracing the changes in the mountains and their people over a remarkable period of history.
Be inspired to plan your own Himalayan adventure with the trekking regions that inspired these stories, including Everest, Annapurna, Kangchenjunga, Manaslu, Langtang, and Dolpo, all of which are covered in detail in Cicerone's companion trekking guidebooks.
