General overview map covering the approaches to Mount Everest from the south and west, with some of the main trekking routes and their variants highlighted: the main Everest trek from Jiri to Lukla and Namche Bazar, the Dudkhund-Pikey Cultural Trail, and the Renjo Pass Trail. Coverage extends from Everst in the east to Jiri Bazar in the west,and from the Nepal/Tibet border to approx 8k south of Patale in the south. The map uses the publisher’s new, more modern style of cartography, with better use of colour to show the topography and clearer marking for roads and main trekking routes. Main settlements and places of interest are also easier to see.
Contour interval is 100m, with heights above sea level shown not only for the peaks and passes, but also for selected villages along the main trekking routes. The map shows places of interest and facilities such as hotels, campsites, health posts, etc. An index of localities also lists peaks, lakes and passes. Margin ticks show latitude and longitude in steps of 5'.
