Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek

Trip Overview

The Manaslu Circuit combined with the restricted Tsum Valley offers one of the most authentic and remote trekking experiences in Nepal. You walk beneath the world’s eighth-highest mountain, cross Larkya La (5,160 m), and visit the culturally protected Tsum Valley with its ancient monasteries and Tibetan-influenced villages.

Restricted-area permits and mandatory guides keep numbers low. This is a journey for those who want solitude, culture and serious mountain scenery.
