Více o knize

This guide is the definitive introduction to trekking around Manaslu and the Tsum Valley. Additional information covers Lower Manaslu and the adjacent Ganesh Himal / Ruby Valley. A brief outline of routes across the Lamjung area, linking Manaslu to Annapurna, is included. It may not have the aura of Everest or Annapurna, but the majestic mountain of Manaslu (8163m) has a remote charm that calls on all trekkers to discover the undiscovered. Lush forests, terraced hillsides, mysterious canyons, gargantuan summits and Buddhist culture are enticing. For so long beyond the horizon, the Tsum Valley is astonishing and secretive. Hilltop monasteries, traditional villages, colourful people, enigmatic yaks and hundreds of mani walls, chortens and kani gates add to the compulsive blend. Go soon to Manaslu and Tsum Valley!
