For anyone contemplating a major trek in Nepal, I recommend owning Lonely Planet's Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya. It is full of good information, trip preparations, clothing, first aid, currency, permits etc. Steven Bezruchka's Trekking in Nepal describes Nepali customs and attitudes in detail. From it we can learn how to behave respectfully towards those in whose home and country we are blessed to be able to travel.
All of the following books can greatly enhance your Nepal experience, as well as being excellent books in their own right.
