The Vivid Shades of the Tsum Valley - Inside Himalayas
The name ‘Tsum’ is said to originate from an old Tibetan word for ‘vivid’. This is certainly an apt way to describe the cultivated barley fields of the fertile Tsum Valley. This culturally fascinating area only opened to tourists in 2007. A trek in the Tsum Valley can be enjoyed on its own,...

We’re going back here too! A kora around Manaslu (8163m), the world's eighth highest mountain, the "mountain of spirit".
We'll approach from the east on lesser known trails, explore Tsum Valley, visit remote gompas, reach several 5000m passes on the Tibetan border before crossing the wildly spectacular Larkya La (5160m) to the north of Manaslu itself. We'll then reach Mustang via Tilicho Tal (possibly the world's highest lake at 4920m).
This will be my 13th Manaslu Kora, my 13th crossing of the Larkya La, join me to find out why this high, wild place pulls me back again and again!
Our journey will be in the form of a fastpack, moving fast and light through this incredible landscape.
👉 1st to 21st April 2023 (with shorter options possible)
Talk to us soon @ [email protected] for more info.
See you in Nepal! 🙏
