Nepal: Schneider Trekking Maps

Nepalโ€™s most popular trekking regions at 1:50,000 or 1:100,000 in a series of detailed topographic maps originally prepared by the Austrian climber and cartographer Erwin Schneider which for nearly five decades provided the best and often the only coverage of these areas. Now sponsored by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft fรผr vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung), the maps are still traditionally referred to as โ€œthe Schneider seriesโ€. Most maps have contours at 40-m intervals and, with bold relief shading and colouring for the glaciers, provide a vivid representation of the terrain. As the series is currently being revised to include more trekking information, please see the individual descriptions for more details.
