Manaslu Circuit + Tsum Valley, Nepal — Oct/Nov, looking for a few trek partners
25M software engineer from Gurgaon, India. Planning roughly three weeks on the Manaslu Circuit with the Tsum Valley extension this October or November — teahouse trek, Kathmandu to Kathmandu, up the Budhi Gandaki gorge into a restricted Tibetan Buddhist valley near the Tibet border, then over Larkya La at 5,106 m. Far quieter than Everest or Annapurna, and one of the last routes in Nepal where you still walk every step.
Previous experience is Goecha La in Sikkim, so I'm fine with long days and altitude, though this is my first 5,000 m+ pass. Restricted-area rules mean a licensed guide and agency permits regardless, so I'm booking as a small private group — better rates and I can add an acclimatisation day most itineraries skip. Looking for two or three people with multi-day trekking experience who don't mind basic lodges and a slow pace. #activity #hiking source
