Beautifully written account of the author's pilgrimage to Dolpa to track the elusive cat.
Engagingly dotty book that chronicles the author's adventures through Nepal's uncharted lands.
Recent Nepal histories are limited but Fatalism & Development, written by a Nepali anthropologist, is a good place to start.
Provides a good introduction to Nepali art.
Reveals many facets of the country's culture.
Mountaineering breeds either writers or braggarts, judging by the number of publications written after every first ascent of a Himalayan peak, and choosing which account to read can become one's own personal Everest. But Bonington's book should steady the nerves.
A classic mountaineering tall story.
