Ep. 15: Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley

June 08, 2021 • Jeremy Pendrey • Episode 15

After Jeremy introduces us to Nepal and the Himalayas, Jeremy and Tony recount their 2019 adventure hiking the Manaslu Circuit in Nepal. This trip had everything: chaotic Kathmandu, wild jeep rides, deep river gorges, monkeys, remote villages, monasteries, high waterfalls, momos (Nepali dumplings), teahouses, suspension bridges, yaks, a snowy mountain pass, views of one of the tallest mountains in the world, and even a solo trekking dog. Listen all the way to the end of the episode to hear some of the sounds of the adventure.
