The Longest Way Home

Exactly the trek details I needed

Then I downloaded the Annapurna guide and followed the day by day stages. Permit office notes and bus timings were spot on. The checklists helped me pack without second guessing.

Great detail, dense pages

Loved the nitty-gritty bus timing notes. Some pages felt heavy with text on mobile, yet I kept reading because it answered real trail questions.

Guide download was simple

Bought the Annapurna guide, checkout simple, download immediate. The maps and permit steps were clear. Learning curve was sifting a lot of detail, but that depth helped me lock daily stages.

One line saved my day

Prior to a long climb, a note about an early water stop caught my eye. Filled up. Later, the next tap was dry. Quiet gratitude moment.

Permit office tip saved me

Standing outside the permit office with the right forms, I breezed past a small queue. Tiny victory, big smile, coffee after.

Dense but gold

Formerly I bounced between blogs. Here, it’s all in one place, if a bit text heavy. The tea house tips and detour notes felt field tested, which I trust.

Download and go in Nepal

Paid with one click, downloaded the Annapurna guide, and the layout made day-by-day planning easy. Permit offices, bus times, tea houses, all there. The site is text heavy, but the specifics saved me hours.

Dense but incredibly practical

Bought two guides for Everest region. The depth is amazing, though some pages load slowly on mobile. Email replies in comments are direct and useful. What stood out was permit and transport clarity that matched on-the-ground reality exactly.

Map in the tea house

I opened the PDF when a detour sign confused me. Found the note, finished my dhal bhat, and felt calm walking into the unknown valley.

I've really liked reading The Longest Way

I've really liked reading The Longest Way Home for the last 5 years. Dave's story is a great adventure that’s definitely worth exploring.

I prefer this guide over Lonely Planet!

I prefer this guide over Lonely Planet! It’s clear that it was written by someone who not only knows Nepal and its culture but also understands what a traveler needs to know. I would highly recomend it.

I prefer this guide over Lonely Planet!

I prefer this guide over Lonely Planet! It's clearly written by someone who knows Nepal and its culture well, as well as someone who knows what travelers want to learn. Strongly recomended.

Great guidebook!

Great guidebook! I've used many, but this one stands out. The author really knows Nepal well. It's interactive, current, and user-friendly. Plus, there is a lot of helpful information to ensure you get the most out of your trip!

Head an shoulders above other guidebooks

We bought the Nepal guidebook ebook 2 years ago for our first trip to Nepal. It was our guiding light. So much information and so easy to follow. This year we went back to Nepal for our Manaslu trek and bought the Trekking in Nepal book. Compared to other guidebooks it was amazing to see everything explained like a real person would say it instead of assuming we know everything already. So much in there that stood above everything else and made our trek incredible. Highly recommended!
