Trekking in the Manaslu Region & Tsum Valley

This unique pictorial guide book is the result of more than two years long painstaking but productive collaboration between Himalayan Map House and Lopsang Chhiring Lama and Sonam Lama, a passionate photographer and an emerging author, who are native to these secret and sacred Himalayan valleys recently being exposed to the modern world. The photographs and documentation cover important places of Manaslu circuit and from the valley of Tsum. This booming trekking route starts from the altitude of a mere 600m of Arughat to the highest passes above 5000m such as the Larke La and Ngu La. The book with high-quality photographs in true colors also provides more authentic and reliable information about the Manaslu and Tsum Valley for the intrepid trekkers, pilgrims, trekking agencies, guides and anyone interested in the Manaslu region and Tsum Valley. The authors take great advantage of photographs to illustrate the diverse life style of different ethnic groups, their deep respect to different religions, unique festivals and centuries old tradition.
