The Manaslu Trek with Tsum Valley explores one of the most remote regions of Nepal. The diverse trek lasts several weeks and circumnavigates Mount Manaslu (8,163 meters), the eighth-highest mountain in the world. The trail is a bit of a challenge, and it’s longer and less luxurious than the Annapurna or Everest region treks, but the payoff is worth it! Be blown away by the sheer mountains, lush valleys, and kind villagers throughout the trail. If you have some experience in the backcountry and want a trail that is off the beaten path, the Manaslu with Tsum Valley Trek is for you. It is in fact one of the most underrated treks in Nepal. During the journey, we get plenty of snowy peak views, including Sringi Himal (7,165m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), Ganesh Himal (7,422m) and Manaslu (8,163m). Throughout the trail, keep your eyes peeled for the diverse wildlife found in the area. We may just run into the musk deer, snow leopard, red panda, or other wild animal species. Another delightful part of the trail is spending time with the locals – who are descendants of native Tibetans and have been living in the area since the 1600s. Their way of life has remained relatively unchanged for hundreds of years. You will be inspired by their unique culture, which mirrors the culture, language, and dress found in Tibet.

One of the fantastic parts of the Manaslu with Tsum Valley Trek is hike through Tsum Valley (aka the Hidden Valley). As we depart from the main trail and enter Tsum Valley, we immediately get the feeling of entering a truly remote area. The completely secluded valley is a little oasis, enclosed by massive rugged peaks. Ganesh Himal,Sringi Himal, and Boudha Himal ranges lie right before your eyes.While passing high alpine environments, glacial rivers, and charming villages, we also get some visit some amazing, Buddhist sites that seem as if they are in the middle of nowhere. Stops at Milarepa’s Cave, Rachen Gompa, and Mu Gompa are splendid and well worth it. It is said that the Buddhist saint Milarepa used to meditate in these caves.Towards the end of the trek, we traverse the Larkya La Pass (5,100 meters). The high and windy pass offers jaw-dropping views of Himlung Himal (7,126m), Cheo Himal (6,820m), and several other majestic mountains. Snap some photos up here and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment. A couple of days descending after the pass, further enjoying the trail of the Manalsu with Tsum Valley Trek, we end the adventure in Dharapani.You can take the Manaslu Trek with Tsum Valley all throughout the year. The best times to make the trip, though, are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These seasons provide the best weather and clearest skies, not to mention that during the springtime, beautiful flowers are in bloom. Third Eye Adventure Pvt Ltd. handles the trek with complete management. If you have any questions about the trek, do ask!

Just finished a amazing 14 day exploring the Manaslu Circuit with 3 days through Tsum Valley and back in late May early June with Sudip our guide who was very fun genuine fella who was extremely competent and easy to communicate with, We are Both 21 and 24 from Australia.
Prior to Manslu we did the Annapurna Circuit having 1 year ago in Nepal which was Amazing as well, but being late season an unforgettable 2 weeks seeing only 4 other tourist hikers from start to finish and get feel the remoteness and solitude of where you are, with Tek who made the whole adventure a never forgettable journey with his 10 year knowledge and experience in the area being 28 himself and very easy going and extremely fit. We had to change our itinerary to shorten it by a day at the start which Tek made very easy by walking a few bigger days and then ended up doing a big day over Larke La pass from Samdo to Bhimtang which shortened for another day but was amazing leaving at 3am walking the trail past yaks in the dark and seeing the mountains light up, crossing the pass not seeing another soul and down to Bhimtang straight into a big feed of dhal Bhat.
A massive thank you to Third Eye Adventure, Ganesh who organised all permits and costs ect and our guide Tek.
We will definitely be back and would recommend to anybody wanting adventurous journey!!

This trek was recommended to me by friend as one of the best trek in their country. They were right. I loved it. Not to many people, good views, high altitudes, friendly atmosphere, I am so happy I did this now before the government build the road and destroy all these beauties. Special thanks to the Third Eye Adventure.

Ganesh arranged everything perfectly, from a pick-up at the Airport during a festival late at night, to transport to the trek and our departure. He matched us up with a great guide Sudip and Porter Rameshwr( not sure of spelling). We found the trek challenging but rewarding. They really put in a lot of effort to try to get us a nice room when possible. Our guide was knowledgeable about flora and fauna and took time to cater to the things we were interested in, monasteries, etc.
