Annapurna Trekking Atlas
Trekking Atlas of the Annapurna region from the Kolkata/Calcutta based Milestone Books, combining 15 maps at scales from 1:50,000 to 1:82,000 and an overview map of the whole Annapurna Circuit at 1:125,000. The main Annapurna circuit via Muktinath and Jomson is presented on 12 pages, with three more pages covering the eastern approaches to the Tilicho Lake and the trails along the Modi Khola up to the Machhaphuchhare and the Annapurna Base Camps.Pages with the sectional maps open to a convenient size of 28x28cm and each contains a map panel, a small satellite view of the area from Google Earth and a route profile. The maps have contour lines at 400m intervals superimposed on a base with relief shading and altitude colouring, although the colouring and the shading does not always coincide with the contour lines. Heights for peaks, passes and selected settlements are given both in metres and in feet. Symbols indicate locations with tourist accommodation, tea houses, medical facilities and temples or monasteries. Route profiles are without any altitude markings so provide only a general idea of the change in elevation. The maps have no geographical coordinates. PLEASE NOTE: scales vary ‘“ adjoining maps may not be at the same scale, but the scale is clearly shown on each panel. The atlas also contains a larger, 76x56cm fold-out map covering the whole area from Pokhara to Kagbeni, the northern point of the Annapurna Circuit. The map has no contours, just relief shading and colouring, and shows peaks, passes and selected settlements with altitude both in metres and feet. Both the main routes shown on the sectional maps and other trekking trails are highlighted. The map has no geographical coordinates.
