ABOUT
THE BOOK
Matheran – A Mountaineering Manual
explores and delineates 60 hiking and trekking routes to Matheran in great
depth and detail.
This 248 page book contains 10
meticulously hand drawn original maps and gives practical tips for climbing
Matheran from every possible direction,
from across every neighbouring mountain and from every base village. Each route is classified based on Technical
difficulty the hiker will face on the hike as well as the Endurance levels
needed by the hiker to complete the hike.
This will help each hiker to choose the route best suited for his / her
own current abilities and motivate them to aspire towards the more challenging
routes.
Reading about the many routes and
studying the map will thoroughly prepare you for your hike in Matheran whether
you are a first time hiker or a veteran hiker.
There’s something for every hiker in this book including the aspirational
hiker.
This book is divided into 8 Chapters
and includes thoroughly researched data inter
alia using advanced satellite imagery on not only the 60 mountaineering
routes but also on the flora, fauna, terrain and topography of Matheran and its
base villages. The book contains an
extensive Bibliography and a perfectly constructed Index for ease of cross
reference.
This book is bound to bring great joy,
thrill and exhilaration to not only new comers to trekking but also set up
challenges to the extremely mature and technically experienced mountaineers.
This book took the 3 authors about
four years to complete, as it required a lot of networking with other senior
mountaineers and mountaineering clubs and even with the local villagers and
guides residing in the base villages.
Each and every route delineated in this Manual has been personally
climbed by at least one of the authors themselves or their close mountaineering
club associates.
