Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking is an exceptional mountain adventure along a hidden trail in the northern region of Nepal’s Gorkha District that will ultimately guide you to the extraordinary Tsum Valley.
Our Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking offers you a chance to experience culturally enriched Tibetan Buddhist villages, hilltop monasteries, alongside authentic wilderness, all lying at the foothills of Ganesh, Shringi, and Buddha peak ranges.
Introduced for trekking in 2008, the Tsum Valley trek lies adjacent to the Manaslu circuit trek. This Valley is home to the incredible Tsumbas and Nubri communities, who have little care for the outside world.
This Valley is mentioned in Buddhist scriptures as Beyul Kyimolung, or the hidden land. It is regarded as a blessed place where enlightenment can be attained.
Additionally, the Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking trail is less explored than other paths of Nepal, thus allowing for a deeper mental connection with nature and the local way of life.
For the Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking, please understand that we need a minimum of two hikers, as a special permit for the restricted Tsum Valley is issued only to pairs of organized trips.
Our 14 days Manaslu Tsum Valley trek will commence as soon as you are in Kathmandu. You will enjoy a cultural tour of this historic city, after which you will travel north to Machha Khola in Gorkha.
Your trek then starts through the culturally and spiritually rich communities of Gurung, Magar, and Tibetan communities. You will pass through Khorlabesi, Jagat, Chumling, Chekampar, and Nile before you finally reach Mu Gompa, which is near the Tibetan border.
Mu Gompa (3749 m) is the highest altitude and the largest Buddhist monastery that has caves where Saint Milarepa meditated. This region is also known for the unbelievable views of the Ganesh (7422 m), Shringi (7187 m), Himalchuli (7893 m), and Baudha (6672 m) mountains, along with phenomenal views of Ngula Dhojyang/Mailatasachin Pass (5093 m) and Thapla Bhanjyang (5104 m).
After exploring Mu Gompa, our Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking will end with your return to Machha Khola to Kathmandu. The Tsum Valley trek is not the most extreme, but it does require good stamina for 5 to 7 hours of walking each day.
The most accessible `seasons for the Manaslu Tsum Valley trekking are spring and autumn in Nepal.
