The Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek is a 20-day teahouse trip that takes trekkers close to the world's eighth-highest peak, Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), through the mysterious valley of Tsum. Manaslu, the world's 8th tallest mountain, is a sight to behold.

Tsum Valley, which is also a pilgrimage destination, adds to the allure with its traditional Buddhist cum Tibetan culture and way of life, which has been undisturbed by modernity. On this excursion, you will discover Tibetan Buddhism's ancient traditions while enjoying their distinct daily rituals and way of life in these remote and largely unspoiled parts of Nepal. The Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking is a mystical paradise of Buddhist temples and nunneries, spinning devotional wheels, and the deep-throated sound of long Tibetan horns thundering across the distances, making it one of Nepal's best assets of diverse identity. It's a region of patchwork meadows, terraced fields, and the majestic Ganesh Himal lending their own breathtaking touch to the much-vaunted beauty, bathed in the light of its gentle population and their everlasting conviction in the sanctity of all life.

From Kathmandu, you will travel to Machha Khola, where the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek Itinerary begins. You will go through Budhi Gandaki and into the settlement of Lapubesi, passing through terraced fields and little villages. The journey to Tatopani passes through forests and smaller communities, culminating in a hot spring spa where you may unwind in the evening. On the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek route to Philim, views of Sringi Himal accompany you. After passing through Chumling, you will arrive at Chhokang Paro in the Upper Tsum Valley, where you will be greeted by spectacular views of Ganesh Himal, Boudha Himal, and Himal Chuli. You will proceed via Piren Phu (pigeon cave), a sacred site with Buddhist paintings, inscriptions, and carved stones, on your way to Nile/Chhule, where you will halt for exploring.

The Mu Gompa, located at 3700 meters, will be your next stop before moving on to the Rachen Gompa, a nunnery. The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek journey to Gumba Lungdang takes you through pine and rhododendron woods and through the Siyar Khola. You will relax and travel to Ganesh Himal Base Camp from here. You must start early because the journey to Lokpa, your next stop, lacks adequate housing and services. You will cross Gurung and Thakali villages on the way from Lokpa to Ghap and finally to Lho. You will take a break at Samagaon and tour the hamlet for another day. From here, you progressively gain elevation to Samdo, Dharmasala, and finally, Bhimtang, where you cross the Larkya La pass at 5160 Meters. Then you will trek ahead to Dharapani from where you will take Public Bus to Kathmandu, which finally concludes your Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek Itinerary successfully.

Preparation for Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek in Nepal

Mountain hiking needs a great deal of endurance and strength, both of which may be acquired by regular exercise. To prepare yourself for this trekking adventure, we strongly advise you to exercise frequently, go hiking, run, or go to the gym. Walking, running, swimming, and cycling four to five times a week will help your body adapt to regulate its breathing. To prepare for Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking, you can hike for 5 to 7 hours on local routes or small hillsides with minimum breaks. To prepare for this trek, there are several things you should consider, including your physical fitness, gear, and logistics.

  • Physical Fitness: The Manaslu Tsum Trek is a strenuous trek, and it's essential to be in good physical shape to enjoy the experience. The trek involves hiking for several hours each day, often on steep and rocky terrain, at high altitudes. To prepare for this, you should start training at least several months in advance. This should include cardio exercises such as running, cycling, or swimming, as well as strength training to build up your legs and core.
  • Gear: You will need a good quality backpack, comfortable hiking boots, appropriate clothing, and a wide range of other gear, including a sleeping bag, camping equipment, a stove, headlamp, sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, and gloves, just to mention a few. Make sure to have enough gear or you can also rent it in Kathmandu.
  • Logistics: The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek requires a special trekking permit and a government-appointed guide. Make sure to plan your trek well in advance, as permits for the trek are limited and can be difficult to obtain. Also, you should book a guide and a porter, if you want one, in advance as well.

Lastly, we recommend getting insurance that covers emergency evacuation, as the trek takes place in a remote area and emergency medical care may be difficult to access. Also, keep in mind the acclimatization schedule to avoid altitude sickness and other illnesses. Overall, the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is a spectacular trek that offers a great adventure and unforgettable memories. But preparation and being well-informed is key to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek will take you to high elevations, due to which high altitude sickness is very common, you must be cautious. According to hikers, snow leopards have been spotted in a variety of locations. Going out alone at night might be dangerous. Its isolation heightens the trek's difficulties. The trail is in poor condition. Throughout the walk, you shouldn't anticipate having nice lodging or meals. It is more difficult to cross the Larkya La Pass. Other sections of the path are likewise more difficult. Prepare yourself for them. The temperature is quite cold at high elevations. Prepare yourself for the unpredictability of the weather.

    Travel Insurance for Tsum Valley Manaslu Trek

    The difficulty level of the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is severe, and it involves high-altitude hiking dangers including altitude sickness, landslides, and other unanticipated catastrophes. For this expedition, you must have travel insurance. Before beginning the journey, all trekking participants must give Green Valley Nepal Trek a copy of their complete travel insurance policy certificate. At the greatest trek elevations, the policy must cover medical and emergency repatriation charges, including helicopter rescue and evacuation (up to 6000m). We can make insurance company recommendations based on our client's experiences, but we do not sell insurance coverage. Once a trip has been booked, trekkers are asked to provide comprehensive insurance information. In an emergency, we will use your insurance policy and paperwork to save time and money by rescuing you and covering your medical expenses.

    Altitude Sickness and Remedies in Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek

    A rest day in Samdo is included in Green Valley Nepal's Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek Itinerary package to provide appropriate acclimatization and avoid the danger of acute mountain sickness. Your walk will begin in Machha Khola and continue for many days at low altitudes, exploring the secluded Tsum Valley before arriving in Samdo. It gives your body an abundance of time to adjust to the current high-altitude atmosphere, lowering your chance of altitude sickness.

    If you ignore the signs of altitude sickness, it can be fatal. Green Valley Nepal Trek's guides are well-trained in first aid and have vast Himalayan expertise. Oximeters are used to measure your oxygen levels, which aids in the early diagnosis of altitude sickness. We assure you that your safety and well-being are in capable hands. Altitude sickness prevention will be recommended by your hike leader. The ideal strategy is to hike slowly and drink plenty of water, it could be 4 liters daily. The best way to avoid extreme altitude sickness is to lower it as soon as possible.

      Incredible Time Trekking the Manaslu and Tsum Valleys

      This past fall, I had an incredible time trekking the Manaslu and Tsum Valleys. Uttarman, my guide, was both amusing and polite, as well as a seasoned hiker in the Manaslu region. Each day, we kept a calm and steady pace, completely appreciating the route to our destinations. The lodges' hospitality was a testament to the advantages of trekking with an extremely pleasant Nepali man. Green Valley Nepal Trek was well-organized in terms of planning the trip and addressing all of my queries ahead of time. I feel really lucky to have been able to take this vacation, and even more fortunate that I booked with such a trustworthy organization!

      Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek in the Manaslu region

      I began conversing with Arun over Whatsapp and found him to be extremely customer-focused and trustworthy. He never made any assumptions or put any pressure on me to buy anything; instead, he constantly clarified things for me and asked me a lot of questions. His quote, I thought, was also rather reasonable. He also has a strong desire for Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek in the Manaslu region. We arrived late at night in KTM, yet he still gave us a pleasant trip to our accommodation. He gave us a thorough briefing the next day on how our expedition would go. He assisted us in obtaining our equipment as well as our National Public Radio licenses. Sushanta, our hike leader, was a kind and pleasant person. Throughout the vacation, he took excellent care of us. During the walk, Sushanta also guided us in navigating some difficult regions. In summary, it was a fantastic experience, and I would enthusiastically suggest Green Valley Nepal to anybody interested in doing a guided trekking trip in Nepal.
