Book Description
Shivya Nath quit her corporate job at age twenty-three to travel the world. She gave up her home and the need for a permanent address, sold most of her possessions and embarked on a nomadic journey that has taken her everywhere from remote Himalayan villages to the Amazon rainforests of Ecuador. Along the way, she lived with an indigenous Mayan community in Guatemala, hiked alone in the Ecuadorian Andes, got mugged in Costa Rica, swam across the border from Costa Rica to Panama, slept under a meteor shower in the cracked salt desert of Gujarat and learnt to conquer her deepest fears. With its vivid descriptions, cinematic landscapes, moving encounters and uplifting adventures, The Shooting Star is a travel memoir that maps not just the world but the human spirit.
Landscapes of the Tatra Mountains of Poland and Slovakia

Book Description
The aim of this series is to lure visitors away from the tourist centers and into the countryside. Books cover car tours and picnic suggestions, but walks - from short strolls to long hikes - are the key feature. The authors know their chosen landscapes intimately; many live in the area, others visit annually. They have written these books because they see the beauty and interest in these regions and want to share, not because they are paid to go to this season's hot destination and write a book. See page 18 for our full list of Sunflower Guides. You'll read about dozens of unforgettable walks for all ages and abilities, with highly detailed walking maps in full color. The most rewarding driving tours of the region are also profiled. Large color fold-out maps and color photos show what you will see on every walk and tour. For planning purposes, timetables for buses, trains and ferries are provided. Information on the local foods, customs, wildlife and historic sites rounds out the coverage. A free update service on the Web, www.sunflowerbooks.co.uk, will keep you abreast of all changes.

Walking in the High Tatras (Slovakia and Poland)
Author: Colin SaundersPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The High Tatras is a range of granite and gneiss mountains between Poland and Slovakia: 500 rocky summits, 100 of which exceed 2000m in height (Gerlach 2655m). The ridges are narrow and full of gendarmes and look formidable, yet, as you draw closer you discern the valleys which separate the peaks and realise there are ways through. A network of waymarked paths connects peaks, lakes and mountain huts. Many are simple walks, but some are exposed via ferrata-type scrambles. With the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, access is now a simple matter and is fully described in the book, as are all major centres on both sides of the border and a comprehensive selection from the easiest to the hardest. Despite its title the book also includes the slate peaks of Western Tatras and limestone peaks of the White Tatras as well as the High Tatras.
