Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek Route

The Manaslu Circuit Trail was opened to trekkers in 1991, followed by the Tsum Valley in 2007. These regions remained unexplored for a long time in Nepal, preserving their authentic essence. Even today, only a few travellers embark on the Manaslu circuit with Tsum Valley trekking, ensuring a unique and untouched experience. Access to the entire trek route, which extends to the Nepal-Tibet Border, is restricted. Only travellers with special permits for restricted areas are allowed entry into the region. Throughout the trek, trekkers will find themselves at altitudes higher than 3,000 meters (9,842 ft). You will cross many suspension bridges and trek past landslide areas.

Crossing the challenging Larkya La Pass requires reaching an impressive elevation of 5,160 meters (16,929 ft). This part of the journey involves navigating through snow and ice. Generally, the trails wind along rocky terrain, clinging to cliff faces, providing an exhilarating experience. Along the way, trekkers will come across Gurung villages, moraines, gorges, and glacial paths.

Trek Difficulty

The Manaslu circuit Tsum Valley is a challenging trek that requires trekkers to navigate demanding terrains and endure long hours of walking. The total distance covered during the trek is approximately 220 km (136 miles). The rugged and isolated terrain adds to the overall challenge, making it necessary for trekkers to have a good level of physical fitness and stamina. This trek is best suited for individuals with previous trekking experience. Proper preparation is crucial to ensure a safe and satisfying journey. Engage in strength training and incorporate cardio exercises such as day hikes, swimming, cycling, and running to build stamina. On average, trekkers are required to walk for 6 to 7 hours each day. In addition to the challenging terrain, other factors such as altitude sickness and limited accommodation facilities contribute to the difficulty level of this trek. The trek reaches altitudes above 5,000 meters, with multiple nights spent above 3,000 meters, increasing the risk of altitude sickness.

    Useful Info

    Best Time 

    The best time to do the Manaslu circuit trek and explore Tsum Valley is in the spring and autumn seasons. Spring (March to May) welcomes stable weather, a huge flora and fauna, and a pleasant climate. Whereas, autumn (September to November) also has clear weather and a mild climate, perfect for trekking. The weather remains not too cold or hot, which makes trekking fantastic.

    Accommodation And Meals

    This is a tea house trek. We'll book twin shared rooms along the trekking route. You can get single rooms by paying a few additional bucks, but let us know in advance. The washrooms can be private or common. At higher elevations, the services are very nominal. Likewise, our package cost includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The meals will be simple and delicious in the mountains. Some common dishes are dal bhat, momo, thukpa, Tibetan bread, porridge, soups, toast & egg, pasta, burgers, etc. Similarly, boiled drinking water is also available in all the tea houses. You can use water purification tablets to double purify the water.

    Preparation And Packing

    You cannot join a trek like this right away (unless you are a seasoned trekker). Travelling in the remote and isolated Himalayas demands proper preparation, which includes training your mind and body and packing correctly. This can involve walking or hiking a few kilometers daily for several weeks, improving cardiovascular fitness at the gym, and focusing on mental preparation. Having the right mindset and determination are crucial for a successful trek. Similarly, you have to be well-packed for the trek. Get your trekking boots early and get used to them. Pack the smallest things like toilet paper, moisturizers, torch, extra batteries, tissue paper, etc. Our team will provide you with a packing checklist (after the booking confirmation) for the Manaslu Tsum Valley trek that you can follow. Note that you can buy or rent many trekking clothes and gear in Thamel, Kathmandu.

    Travel insurance and why it is important?

    The Manaslu region is a remote area in Nepal, and there is no proper health facility or transportation available in the region. Even though we will do our best during the trek, there are still risks of altitude sickness and small accidents. If a trekker gets ill and first-aid does not help me get back on his feet, our last resort is to transfer the patient to a hospital in Kathmandu via air ambulance. To get a prompt response from the rescue team, you have to carry travel insurance that covers emergency air evacuation and medical bills. Having travel insurance will give you peace of mind during the trek. You can also include international flight cancellation, personal liability, and theft in the insurance.

    Nepal Travel Visa & Passport

    Getting a Nepal travel visa is the sole responsibility of the traveller. If you fail to get one and miss the trip, our company will not be liable for any refund. You can get a travel visa for Nepal from the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate office in your country. Travellers from many countries can obtain a travel visa for Nepal on arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport or any other land entry point. Make sure you have all the documents and visa fees ready on hand for a quick process. Likewise, a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining beyond your intended stay in Nepal is a must. Make sure a minimum of two blank pages are left in the passport for immigration stamps. You can talk to our team for more information. For visa and permit information please visit Visa and Permit fee.

    Money Exchange And ATM On Trail

    Money exchange counters are available throughout Thamel kathmandu. You can easily exchange your currency at banks or exchange centers. Likewise, you can withdraw money from most of the ATMs using your international card. There is no ATM on the Manaslu Circuit Trail, so get enough money in Kathmandu to use during the trek. Even though our package covers all the major expenses like accommodations and meals, you will still need some additional money for personal expenses like hot showers, charging, WiFi, etc., as these are paid services and not covered in our package cost.

    Manaslu Circuit Tsum Valley Trek Tips (luggage, internet, charging, tips, laundry, etc)

    • Porters carry the main luggage, which is duffel bags during the trek. You can store any additional suitcases in our office or the hotel's locker room during the trekking. You cannot pack more than 10 kg in a duffle bag and 5 kg in a day pack. The trekkers carry day packs. Use it to pack essentials, documents, money, snacks, water bottles, etc.
    • In some villages paid WiFi is available. We highly recommend you buy a tourist sim and use data to stay connected with your friends and family in the mountains. The connection may not be reliable all the time.
    • Tea houses have separate charging stations in the dining rooms where trekkers can charge their mobiles and cameras. You have to pay USD 2 to USD 3 each time you charge your device. For a long trek like this, it is better to get a solar charger and have a power bank for backup.
    • Tips are not included in our package cost, so you can pay our drivers, tour guides, trek guides, and porters at the end of their service. You can tip them as per your wish to show your gratitude towards their hard work. USD 5 is good for a tour guide, USD 2 is good for a driver, and USD 100 is good for a trek guide & porter.
    • If you purchase a service that is not included in our package, you will be responsible for the cost. Things like international flights, travel insurance, tips, shopping, drinks, and extra services during the trek are your personal expenses.
