Trekking the Manaslu Circuit, pt 5

The Manaslu Circuit trek is a spectacular and isolated circular trek which skirts around the eighth highest mountain in the world, the formidable Mount Manaslu (8,163m). On this trek i followed the mighty Buri Gandaki River as it narrows in places into a spectacular gorge, passing through many tiny villages on route to Manaslu itself which are perched on the valley sides. Eventually the gorge opens out into alpine meadows which are inhabited by a cluster of Tibetan communities below Manaslu's north face. The climax of the Manaslu trek is crossing the mighty Larkya Pass (5,130m) were you can see the snow-capped peaks of Himalchuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal, before descending down to the peaceful village of Bimthang and through the thick forests to join the main Annapurna Circuit route at Dharaphani.

This part of my vlog of the Manaslu circuit trek is about the long walk into the Tsum Valley from Chumling to Nile, watch out for the rock fall incident half way in.The Tsum Valley trerek is a side trek off the main Manaslu Circuit Trek.
