Tsum Valley Trek and Manaslu Tour - 24 Days
The Manaslu circuit has recently become a trek that can be done in a “tea house” or lodge. The famous Manaslu region lets you discover its large wild spaces and its stone and wooden villages. Gorkhas are renowned throughout the world for their simplicity, honesty and courageous actions. The Tsum Valley trek offers superb views of the four 7000m peaks of the Ganesh Himal massif. You will discover the culture of the Tsumba people, distinctly influenced by Tibetan culture, which strictly prohibits the killing of any living being. With a little luck you will see the snow leopard and the red panda. A long trek which takes the time to show you an authentic Nepal, makes you meditate and takes you to the pass, passage of Larkya pass at 5160m. An extraordinary journey through time and space that will lead you to surpass yourself.
