Hi all,
From 25 September till 20 October I’ll go on a tea house trek to Tsum Valley and Manaslu (trekking from Arughat and finally to Bhulbule, one day transport from Kathmandu each way).
An option is to return to Arughat after the Tsum trek.
So far we are 2 for Tsum Valley, and I'm still alone for the full trek.
Price for 25 days for the full trek is 1200 euros and for 17 days Tsum Valley only is 925 euros, all included, except for drinks, tips and insurance.
