Chisapani / चिसापानी (1620 m) - Gampul (1626 m) - Lokpa / Lhokpa / लोक्पा (2240 m) - Gadhi Khola Bridge - Chumling / चुम्लिंग (2385 m)
Chumling School camp
Gampul is where the trail into the Tsum Valley splits off from the Manaslu Circuit. We spent the next week in Tsum.
I first trekked this section of the trail with Hazel back in 2015, just before the first 2015 Earthquake which struck this area very hard. Read more about my 2015 trek on SparklyTrainers: Tsum Valley trek with Val Pitkethly.

The Parenzana or Porečanka is one of the nicknames of a defunct narrow gauge railway (operating between 1902 and 1935) between Trieste and Poreč (at that time Parenzo, hence the name Parenzana), in present-day Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.
The railway followed a meandering course across the Istrian countryside, with skilfully engineered embankments and viaducts negotiating the peninsula’s notoriously up-and-down terrain.
The process of converting the former track into a foot- and cycle-path was begun in 2006, with a highly scenic 60km section of the railway (“Parenzana I”) in central Istria receiving most of the initial attention. Tunnels and bridges along the route were restored and made safe for visitors. A second phase (“Parenzana II”), revitalizing the stretch from Vižinada, 10km southwest of Motovun, to Poreč, was completed in 2012.
