Jours: 22 / Difficulté: 4 of 5 (Intense)

Tsum Valley and Manaslu Trek traverse Larkya-La Pass is one of the most thrilling treks in Nepal that takes to the remotest and pristine areas of Tsum Valley and Manaslu region which have only been recently opened for trekking. While trekking in Tsum Valley allows you to understand the practices of Tibetan Buddhism and also to enjoy the panoramic view of Ganesh Himal range, trekking in the Manaslu region allows you to walk around the eighth highest mountain in the world, Manaslu (8163m). Tsum Valley and Manaslu Trek is a journey on the quiet and quaint trails of the Himalayas.

Tsum Valley and around Manaslu Trek start with a picturesque ride through the hills that leads to Soti Khola. The Tsum Valley and Manaslu trekking trail pass many ridges and villages while ascending and descending alongside Budhi Gandaki River. Attractions of Tsum Valley include Milarepa’s cave, a sacred cave with Buddhist paintings, and the nunneries of Rachen Gompa, Mu Gompa, and Gumba Lungdang, where trekkers are welcomed at the evening puja. The trekkers also reach Ganesh Himal Base Camp and relish the panoramic view of Ganesh Himal range. Then, the trail connects to the Manaslu circuit and ascends through several villages of different ethnicities with a ravishing view of the Manaslu range along with other surrounding Himalayas. One of the highlights of the trek is walking through Larkya Glacier to cross the longest mountain pass of Nepal, Larkya-La (5160m). The trail then descends following the trails of Marshyangdi River to reach Syange, from where you drive back to Kathmandu.
