Nepal’s Manaslu and Tsum Valley regions are rich with natural and humane treasures. Water is abundant in these areas, and crossing rivers and streams is part of daily life. There is more in the bridges there than mere engineering. Some are brand new, some are old. Some are solid and some are crippled. Each bridge has its own character. A bridge is also a unique viewpoint, a meeting place, a move to another phase, an excitement. Traversing a bridge sometimes feels like a sacred ceremony…
You are invited to virtual journey along the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley via the bridges in the area.
Excerpt from the journey is available in a PowerPoint presentation format.
The full journey is in the following gallery:

Guy,
I like your presentations very much. There are very nice places to see in our small planet.
One thing I would like to suggest, and that is adding the sounds of the environment you took those photos to the presentation. For example, looking at the bridges in Nepal, I saw the waterfall below and would have like to also hear their sound.
Anyways, thank you for posting these presentations.
Boaz.

Wonderful. I love nature and I’m a oil-painter
in my rest time. Bridges into nature are way of inspiration.

It is great to hear your feedback Yakshaver and Andy, I wlekad the Annapurna circuit in 2005 with eight other friends and was keen to do the Manaslu, I would much rather do a Teahouse Trek than a camping trek and spend the money for meals and accomodation in the villages rather than the money be taken out of the region by a large trkking company. I have a number of friends who want to come with me along with a couple of my sons, we will have a group of eight to fifteen, I have been told that a group of this size might have trouble finding accomodation at all stops around the Manaslu circuit, would this be a correct assumption? We are planning to do the trek in November 2012 so I am starting to research guides and trekking companies and costs so that i can start to creat a budget, any feedback would be appreciated.Regards Chris

Sono posti meravigliosi,con gente colme di adattabilita’ e tenacia nell’affrontare problemi che abbondano dalla mattina alla sera,ma che vanno ad ogni costo risolti e superati.Gente stupenda e ammirevole che vorrei conoscere piu’ a fondo.

ponti e manufatti di una bellezza unica creati da persone di una tenacia e perseveranza senza limiti.La natura pur essendo spesso durissima con l’uomo,offre dei scenari di una meraviglia unica,ma l’uomo con queste opere,candidamente incredibili,dimostra la sua forza interiore,che i paesi piu’ progrediti hanno un po’ perso.
