Itinerary
Ready for a trekking adventure that fuses dramatic Himalayan peaks with Buddhist mystique? The Manaslu - Tsum Valley Trekking tour is specially designed for young adults seeking both challenge and cultural depth. This journey circles the imposing Manaslu, the world’s eighth highest mountain, and ventures into the spiritual heart of Tsum Valley, a haven of ancient monasteries and sacred caves.
Your trek begins in Arughat, meandering through terraced fields, dense forests, and remote villages. Highlights include a restorative hot spring bath at Tatopani, panoramic views of Sringi Himal, and immersive stops at monasteries like Mu Gompa and Rachen Gompa. The route’s crescendo is the crossing of the formidable Larke La pass at 5,200 meters, a true test of endurance and spirit.
The USP? This trip offers a rare blend of physical challenge, serene natural beauty, and deep cultural immersion—giving trekkers not just a journey, but a transformative experience off the typical Nepal trail.

Manasalu circuit & Tsum Valley 2018
Manasalu circuit is getting popular. Since we went in 2014 all the way to Samdo, we have a reference. On Oct. 24.2018 passend 220 tourists the check point at Namrung. Four years ago there were hardly 40 of us travelling up the Bhudi Ghandaki. The hygienic conditions are worst as four years ago. In Samdo an avalanche of waste reach from the villlage allmost into the river. CAUSION: the terain at the west side of Larka La is very steep. In two days the traweller descend 3000m. Make sure that your knees are fit for this. Renting a horse in Bitmang cost 500$. In Tsum Valley the trail is decorated with hudreds of Red Bull tins. There is a monastery with 300 monks. I'am suspecting them of addiction to caffein and ignorance towards environment.
