Book Synopsis A Trekking Guide to the Karakoram by : Bob Gibbons
Download or read book A Trekking Guide to the Karakoram written by Bob Gibbons and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brand new guide to trekking in the Karakoram! Nestled in the north of Pakistan, the Karakoram is one of the wildest and most desolate mountain ranges in the world. Tourism here is not as developed as in Nepal, but the people's friendliness and willingness to help trekkers achieve their goals is unquestionable. Traversing turbulent rivers and tumbling glaciers below sheer rock faces and soaring towers, a trek to K2 Concordia will give more than enough memories to last a lifetime. If K2 is not for you, the adjacent Hindu Kush mountains near Gilgit, Hunza and Ishkomen offer more gentle, shorter but also spectacular trekking. Pakistan has been in the news for all the wrong reasons - it's time to put it firmly back on the tourist map where it truly belongs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide describes twenty high-altitude treks of 2-9 days in the mountains of Tajikistan, covering the Fann Mountains, Pamirs and northern ranges, plus five day hikes near the capital, Dushanbe, and a 10-day trek in the Afghan Wakhan Corridor. As well as detailed route description and 1:100,000 mapping for each trek, there is a wealth of practical advice on transport and visas, trekking support, equipment, cultural awareness, safety and security, as well as background notes on history, flora and fauna and a Tajik-Russian-Pamiri-English glossary. The guide can be used either to plan an independent trek or to select, prepare for and enhance an organised expedition. Known as 'the Roof of the World', Tajikistan is one of the most mountainous countries on Earth, with 93% of its landmass considered mountainous territory. This is where the mighty Himalaya meet the Tian Shan, Karakoram and Hindu Kush, and a centuries-old network of trails criss-crosses the remote terrain, linking isolated villages and shepherds' camps. Although infrastructure is fragile and tourism in its infancy, this Central Asian nation presents some outstanding opportunities for the adventurous trekker. The hand-picked routes showcase Tajikistan's breathtaking landscapes of lofty snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes and sweeping high-altitude plateaus. Trekking here is also a rich cultural experience: in addition to wild camping, many of the treks include the opportunity to experience the fascinating local culture and warm hospitality in a traditional homestay, meeting those who call this remote wilderness home. This guide will be your companion to discovering Tajikistan, a country with so much to offer and one of Central Asia's best kept secrets.

Book Synopsis Women, Religion, and Space by : Karen M. Morin
Download or read book Women, Religion, and Space written by Karen M. Morin and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume studies females who practice or interact with gender norms of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in relation to the geography of place. The book focuses on attempts by religious and secular authorities to control women’s access to distinct spaces to show how religious women navigate harsh terrain and attain mobility within established institutions. The writings are grouped under three sections: “Women and Colonial Regimes,” “Religion and Women’s Mobility,” and “New Spaces for Religious Women.” Secular, critical, and comparative viewpoints are explored, with much of the scholarship steeped in fieldwork, i.e., an orthodox district in Jerusalem, a shopping mall in Istanbul, women travelers in Pakistan, and Korean immigrant women in Los Angeles. Contributors broaden notions of space to extend beyond architecture, national borders, external and internal boundaries, and assorted identifying markers, such as race or clothing. In examining a “new” aspect of space/geography these essays promote challenge, irony, and unexpected avenues of thought. Multi-cultural and international in scope, this work makes a significant, groundbreaking contribution to the field of geography.
