About the Author

Jamie McGuinness has trekked in the Everest region more than 25 times and has summitted Everest itself five times. He manages 'Project Himalaya' and treks and climbs for much of the year, spending the rest of the time planning the next adventure. His favourite pastime is exploring remote corners of the Himalaya with friends and a camera.

In Jamie s words: 'Nepal has given me my greatest adventures, and the Everest region will always be close to my heart. I am filled with memories of contemplating in awe the stupendous views from the tops of the high passes, and of evenings spent in lodge kitchens, enjoying philosophical banter around potbelly stoves. The Everest region is the best teahouse trekking region there is and the lodges give you an unparalleled freedom to explore independently. It is the peace trekking brings that draws me back; an escape from the frenetic modern world.'
