Tsum Valley and Manaslu Trek 25 Days

Package Overview

The Manaslu Circuit trek is a challenging trek in a remote region of the Nepal Himalayas. The trek starts in Arughat after a 6-7 hour drive from Kathmandu. The trail starts out passing through bamboo forests and Gurung villages beside the Budi Gandaki River. The scenery is similar to the popular Annapurna Circuit, but without the crowds. The Manaslu Circuit is a trek that goes off the beaten track. This trek includes a visit to Tsum Valley, which is one of Buddhism's sacred hidden valleys with the ancient monasteries and remote villages. The Tsum valley trek was only opened for trekkers three years ago and therefore this is a new place to explore with little impact from tourism. After Lho village we enter the Nupri region inhabited by Tibetan immigrants where you will see colourful prayer flags, mani walls, chortens and monasteries along the way. Sama Gaun is a wide open area with great mountain views. The walk from Sama Gaun village to Manaslu Base Camp and back is a good acclimatisation day. After Samdo village, we stay one night at Dharamsala before approaching the Larkya La Pass. The climb to Larkya La pass is a challenging day which is suitable for a fit hill walker with no previous mountaineering experience. From Larkya La, we have views of Manaslu, Himal Chuli, Cheo Himal, Himlung Himal and many other surrounding Himalayas.
