Tsum Valley
Our guest house connected us with Touch the Himalayas. They then came to discuss options with us at the place we were staying- after having spent the day trying to sort companies this was such a relief!
We were paired up to walk with Raju which turned out to be a perfect match. Similar in age, it was like spending time with another buddy, only he confidently knew his way along the trail.
We had planned to do the Manaslu but when my husband got ill Raju was very patient in accepting our choice to walk out, helping us find any remedies possible en route. We did this quite slowly (20 days?) to complete just the Tsum Valley. Turned out to be an excellent choice though as this way we got to really drink it all in. To top it off, Raju took us up to his family home and we met his wonderful whole-hearted family. Despite an extra hill to walk, it was well worth it.
