A fascinating and detailed map of the Pradesh region of northern India and Nepal, with an inset map of the approaches to Mount Everest and surrounding peaks. This inset includes the marked route of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, with their camp sites, and their names in red beneath the name of the mountain. This attractive and unusual map was published just a few years after their remarkable achievement. An unbound plate from the "Times Mid-Century Atlas Of The World", one of the finest atlases of the twentieth century.
