2. Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek are probably some of the most adventurous treks
in the Himalayas that offer a lifetime trekking experience. If you are an adventure
fanatic, who seeks challenges and less crowded trails yet loves to be down to Earth and
escape in nature, and then Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek is the best option for
you. Trekking in the Manaslu region opened in 1991, whereas Tsum Valley was opened in
2008 for foreign travelers. Closed for decades, these two regions have well-preserved
and protected the unspoiled vegetation, ancient Buddhist culture, and exotic wildlife.
Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trekking follow a spectacular terrain that
gradually ascends towards the hidden Tsum Valley to a place called Nup Ri. The locals
here are the descendants of Tibetans and believed to settle in the 16th century. Their
language, culture, dress, and customs resemble Tibetans. The mountain scenery from
Nup Ri is nothing less than heaven that you will not find anywhere else in the world. It's
ironic how trekking in Tsum Valley makes you feel very close to home that never existed
yet located far away from the modern world in the middle of nowhere.
Manaslu Trek Tsum Valley explores around the 8th highest mountain in the world, Mt.
Manaslu. You will be exploring beautiful remote villages like Chhekampar, Nile, Dumje,
Lokpa, Lho, Sama Gaun, Tilje, and many others. Along the trail, you will come across Piren
Phu Cave, Mu Gompa (1895 AD), Dephyudonma Gumba, Rachen Gumba, Dzongkha
Dzong, Pung Gyen Gompa, and many other ancient monasteries. The trail leads you to
Manaslu Base Camp and crosses the challenging Larkya La Pass (5,160 m).
Not many people have done Tsum Valley and Manaslu Trek because of the extreme
isolation of the region, strenuous route, and bare minimum facilities. Get to explore the
unspoiled beauty of the region, pass by gorgeous waterfalls, green meadows, and
witness panoramic views of the Himalayan mountains like Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m), Ganesh
Himal (7,422 m), Ngadi Chuli (7,871 m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441 m), Himlung Himal (7,140 m),
Mt. Kang Guru (6,981 m), Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m), etc. To know more about the
Manaslu Circuit via Tsum Valley Trek package or Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek cost,
get in touch with us anytime. Mt. Manaslu (8,163m) is include the list of the Top 10 Higest
Mountains in the World secured as 8th highest position in the earth, the Japanese Team
had successfully climbed first time in 1956.

Gaun. Following a downhill trail, reach Tatopani, where you will take a small break to
enjoy a natural hot spring and move towards Dobhan. The trail then gradually ascends
through lush forests, ravines, and villages like Philim and Chumling before taking you to
Chhe Kampar.
On the way from here comes the famous Milarepa Piren Phu cave. You will reach Chule-
Nile and trek towards Mu Gumba, the biggest monastery in Tsum Valley established in
1895 AD. You will also get to visit Dephyudonma Gumba before leaving for Rachen
Gompa. Further, the trail goes through the scattered settlement of Dumje and
continues to Lokpa crossing Ripchet. Slowly walk by Deng, Ghap, and Lho villages to
reach Sama Gaon, where you will take a rest day for acclimatization. You can hike to
Manaslu Base Camp.

the Larkya La Pass and descends to Bimtang. Following a stream, trek through a dense
bamboo forest to reach Tilje and drop down to Dharapani, from where you will drive to
Kathmandu via Besisahar.

3. The route is not developed in tourist infrastructure, and the services are limited. Before
the beginning of the trek, you have to prepare, and that's by exercising and going on
short hikes. It is very important to have constant stamina and endurance to survive the
journey. With our support team and expertise, you will be able to smoothly complete
this adventurous trek without any problem.
Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek Best Time:
The best time to do Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trekking are from March to April
(spring) and October to November (autumn). The temperature reaches up to 24 °C at
day time and -4 °C during the night in spring. The views are clear and stunning, with
blooming trails. In autumn, the temperature varies from 25 °C to -6 °C. Again, the
weather is stable, and the climate is moderate as well in autumn too. The days begin to
see a hint of coldness in the air. You can be part of the biggest festivals if you trek in
autumn. It's a festive season in Nepal.
Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking Permit:
First thing, the Manaslu region is a restricted area, which means you have to get special
permission from the government of Nepal to trek in this part of the country. Along with
that, there are certain rules that trekkers must have to follow to trek. As a foreign
trekker, you have to trek with a local travel agency with at least two trekkers in the
group (not including the guide/porters). Likewise, you cannot get your Nepal Trekking
Permits through an independent guide.
Manaslu Circuit Trek Permits:
Tsum Valley Trek Permits:
Besides that, you also have to take out the Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP)
permit and Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit. All of these permits
can be obtained in Kathmandu, which is done by your trekking agency.
Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek Accommodation:
Tsum Valley and Manaslu Trek is a teahouse trek. You can find teahouses in all the
villages to stay overnight. Teahouse here is basic, good enough to spend the night. Single
rooms are usually not available and can get costly in comparison to twin-shared rooms.
The washroom is mostly common. You might get a private washroom in the lower
elevation. Camping is another great option to enjoy Manaslu Circuit via Tsum Valley
Trek to its fullest. We offer full support, including trained crew members if you wish to do
a camping trek. All of our gear and tents are high-quality and tested.
