Description
Give wanderlust room to grow. A trail can become the very reason to travel. Epic Hikes of the World gathers stories from 50 hiking routes in 30 countries, plus 150 suggestions for further trips, giving both nearby and far-flung hiking experiences a place in your travel dreams.
Experiences and content. The hikes are presented through personal accounts, photographs, and illustrated maps, along with planning information covering access, accommodation, and equipment. The selection ranges from short walks and urban routes to long treks through mountain landscapes. Examples include Kilimanjaro, Shikoku’s temple pilgrimage, the Camino de Santiago, and the Routeburn Track in New Zealand.
Who is this book suitable for? Choose this one when you want inspiration across countries and trip types, or are looking for a gift for someone who loves hiking. This is a hardback book for discovering possibilities, rather than a detailed route guide to a single defined hiking area.
From inspiration to your own plan. Feel free to browse without a fixed plan, noting whatever sparks your curiosity. Compare a familiar destination with one you haven’t considered before, or let a single experience become the starting point for further reading. The book can also be shared with your travel companions, so you can find out together which ideas you’d most like to explore.
A physical book is also good to return to during the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next stage, revisit an idea you’ve noted, and let the plan develop as you become better acquainted with the possibilities.
