Blending reportage, travel writing and analysis, 'Crossed off the map: Travels in Bolivia' uses a journey through Bolivia, from the Andes to the Amazon, to explore the country's turbulent history and contemporary challenges, painting a picture of a country that "was the building block of the modern world, but is now lost in time".

Travels in Bolivia

Crossed Off the Map

Nepal ist die Wasserscheide Asiens. Das Land liegt zwischen Indien und Tibet mit Landschaftsformen, die von subtropischem Dschungel bis zu den eisigen Höhen des Himalaya reichen. Zehn der höchsten Berge der Welt gehören ganz oder teilweise zu Nepal. Mindestens ebenso vielfältig ist die Kultur: Ein Dutzend große ethnische Gruppen mit 50 Sprachen und Dialekten leben in diesem kleinen Pufferstaat, in dem sich Hinduismus und Buddhismus, zwei der großen Weltreligionen, mit Naturverehrung und Schamanismus verflechten. Diesem landschaftlichen und kulturellen Reichtum trägt das Travel Handbuch in vollem Umfang Rechnung: Es bietet eine Fülle von Informationen für die individuelle Reiseplanung, gibt Tipps zu Unterkünften, Restaurants und Transport. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bilden Outdoor-Aktivitäten mit Kapiteln zu Trekking, Rafting/Kayakfahren und Mountainbiking. Ein weiteres Plus sind die vielen beschriebenen Reisewege: von selten befahrenen Hochgebirgsstraßen bis zu abgelegenen Grenzübergängen nach Indien oder Tibet - das Buch lässt selbst hartgesottene Traveller nicht im Stich. Hilfreiche Tipps und Adressen zu Yoga, Meditation und Ayurveda sowie die ausführliche Behandlung der nepalesischen Geschichte und der Glaubensvorstellungen machen dieses kompakte Reisehandbuch komplett.
