Tsum Valley, located northeast of Manaslu, is one of the newly prominent trekking areas. The Tsum Valley takes trekkers on a natural as well as a cultural trip to the valley of Tsum in the western region, Gorkha. This trek is an extended version of the Manaslu Circuit Trek, which can be taken as a combination of both treks as the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek. 

Our Tsum Valley with Manaslu Circuit Trek begins with a captivating drive through the greenery hills and the bank of the rivers to Machha Khola, around eight hours from Kathmandu. We continue the trek passing through rhododendron and pine forests that leads to Lokpa via Jagat. The trails cover the forests, terraced fields, and flowing Budhi Gandaki river. Then, we will leave the Manaslu trail and enter the Tsum, the hidden valley. Tsum valley is rich in Tibetan culture and tradition, which is the reward for the extended Manaslu trek. The path retains several prayer flags and mani walls. The towering snow peaks, monasteries,  lifestyle of Tibetan cultural type, numerous waterfalls, and abundant flora and fauna are the major attraction of this trek. In this trek, we will visit the Mu Gompa monastery and Gumba Lungdang, and Ganesh Himal Base Camp. We walk through the Larke La Pass, Sama, Samdo, and a side trip to Rui La pass near the Tibet border and then conclude our trek by arriving at Dharapani. From Dharapani, we will either return to Kathmandu or drive to Pokhara.

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by a representative from our trekking agency and transferred to your hotel. The journey from the airport to the hotel takes around 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic. After checking in, you can relax and recover from your international flight. If time permits, you may take a short walk around the lively streets of Thamel, where you can find trekking gear shops, restaurants, cafes, and souvenir stores. This day is mainly reserved for rest, allowing your body to adjust before beginning the adventure in the Himalayas.

  • Hotel Vistara or Similar
  • 1400m.|4592ft.

This day is dedicated to completing all the necessary preparations for the trek. We will arrange the required permits, including the Manaslu Restricted Area Permit, Tsum Valley Restricted Area Permit, Manaslu Conservation Area Permit (MCAP), and Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP).

While these formalities are being completed, you are free to explore Kathmandu. You may visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Swayambhunath Stupa, Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, or Kathmandu Durbar Square. It is also an ideal opportunity to rent or purchase any missing trekking equipment, organize your backpack, and we will have a pre-trek briefing where the route, altitude profile, weather conditions, safety measures, and daily schedule will be explained and the trekking guide will be introduced.

The journey begins early in the morning with a long drive westward from Kathmandu toward Machha Khola. The first part of the road follows the Prithvi Highway, passing along the Trishuli River through green hills, terraced fields, and small roadside settlements. After reaching Soti Khola, the road becomes rough, narrow, and unpaved, driving along mountain slopes and river valleys. Throughout the journey, you gradually enter the remote Manaslu region, where the scenery becomes increasingly rugged and less populated. By evening, you arrive at Machha Khola, a small village situated beside the Budhi Gandaki River, where you spend the night in a local teahouse.

  • Tea House
  • Lunch and Dinner
  • 869m.|2850ft.

egin our trek by crossing a river and ascending Khorla Besi from Machha Khola. We will move forward, passing through attractive waterfalls and then crossing the suspension bridge over Budhi Gandaki river and Yaru Khola. After crossing the suspension bridge, we will walk on a Cantilever trail that leads to Jagat.

The first day of trekking follows the Budhi Gandaki River through dense forests, rocky paths, and several suspension bridges. The trail passes through small villages such as Khorlabesi and Tatopani. The route involves a combination of gradual climbs, descents, and river crossings, and the walk over Cantilever bridge while offering views of waterfalls and steep cliffs. By late afternoon, you reach Jagat, a beautiful village that serves as the official entry point into the Manaslu Conservation Area. 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 1340m.|4395ft.

Leaving Jagat, the trail climbs steadily through forests, terraced farmland, and several traditional settlements. After passing Philim, one of the largest Gurung villages in the region, the route separates from the main Manaslu Circuit and heads toward the secluded Tsum Valley. The landscape becomes quieter as fewer trekkers follow this route. The trail passes through pine and rhododendron forests while crossing streams and suspension bridges. Lokpa is the first village inside Tsum Valley and provides impressive views of surrounding hills and distant snow-covered mountains like Mt. Shringi. The peaceful atmosphere and traditional lifestyle offer the first glimpse into the unique culture of the Tsum people.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 2240m.|7347ft.

Although today's distance is relatively short, the trail includes several steep descents and climbs, making the trek physically demanding. The route descends into a deep river gorge before crossing suspension bridges over the Siyar River. It then ascends through forests filled with pine, rhododendron, and bamboo before reaching Chumling. This beautiful village consists of traditional stone houses, cultivated fields, and ancient monasteries surrounded by prayer flags and mani walls. 

 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 2386m.|7826ft.

The trail gradually gains altitude while passing through fertile valleys, yak pastures, and traditional villages. As elevation increases, the forests begin to thin, revealing spectacular views of Ganesh Himal, Himalchuli, and other surrounding peaks. The route crosses several streams before arriving at Chhokangparo. The area is famous for its rich Tibetan culture, ancient chortens, prayer wheels, and friendly local communities. 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 3031m.|9941ft.

Today's trek leads to the highest permanent settlement in Tsum Valley. The trail passes through open alpine landscapes with magnificent mountain views before reaching Milarepa Cave, where the famous Tibetan Buddhist saint Milarepa is believed to have meditated centuries ago. Continuing upward, the vegetation becomes sparse as the terrain changes into high-altitude grasslands and rocky slopes. Mu Gompa, an ancient monastery established in the 19th century, stands in complete isolation overlooking the upper valley. If accommodation is unavailable at Mu Gompa, we will return to the nearby village, Nile for overnight stay. 

 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 3700m.|12139ft.

After spending time exploring the monastery and nearby surroundings, you retrace your route back through the upper Tsum Valley. Walking downhill makes the journey physically easier while providing another opportunity to appreciate the impressive Himalayan scenery. Passing through traditional villages and cultivated fields, we can observe the daily lifestyle of local people who continue to preserve centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions. By afternoon, we will return to Chhokangparo for the overnight stay.

 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 3031m.|9941ft.

Leaving Chhokangparo, the trail descends toward the Siyar River (Shyar Khola) before crossing a suspension bridge and entering a less-traveled section of the region. Unlike the previous days in the Tsum Valley, today's route follows a steeper and more rugged path that climbs through dense pine, juniper, and rhododendron forests. The ascent is continuous and can be physically demanding, but the peaceful surroundings and absence of large crowds make the journey enjoyable. As we gain altitude, the forest gradually opens up to reveal magnificent views of the Ganesh Himal range. By afternoon, we will arrive at Gumba Lungdang, an ancient Buddhist monastery perched on a hillside overlooking the valley. The monastery serves as an important religious center for local communities, and often we can have the opportunity to observe monks performing their daily prayers. The quiet environment and spectacular mountain scenery provide a perfect setting to rest before the following day's excursion to Ganesh Himal Base Camp.

  • 3400m.|11152ft.

Today is one of the most rewarding and adventurous days of the entire expedition. The trail begins early in the morning with a steep climb through alpine meadows and rocky terrain toward Ganesh Himal Base Camp. As the elevation increases, vegetation becomes sparse and the landscape changes into glacial moraine, loose rocks, and snow-covered slopes. Throughout the ascent, breathtaking views of Ganesh Himal, glaciers, icefalls, and neighboring Himalayan peaks continue to unfold. Upon reaching the base camp at approximately 4,900 meters, trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views of towering snow-covered mountains and pristine alpine scenery. After spending time enjoying the surroundings and taking photographs, the trail retraces the same route back to Gumba Lungdang. 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 4900m.|16076ft.

After breakfast, we begin our descent from Gumba Lungdang through peaceful forests and mountain trails. The route follows the same path we used during the ascent, crossing suspension bridges and passing through dense woodlands before reconnecting with the main trail in the lower Tsum Valley. Descending to a lower elevation makes breathing easier and reduces the physical demands of trekking at high altitude. By late afternoon, we arrive back at Chumling, where we enjoy a comfortable overnight stay after several days in the higher mountains.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 2386m.|7828ft.

Leaving Chumling, we gradually descend toward Lokpa before rejoining the main Manaslu Circuit trail at Philim. From here, we leave the secluded Tsum Valley behind and once again follow the Budhi Gandaki River upstream. The trail alternates between forest paths, suspension bridges, narrow cliffside sections, and traditional villages surrounded by terraced fields. By evening, we reach Deng, a small settlement beside the river that serves as an important resting point before entering the higher sections of the Manaslu region.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 1860m.|6100ft.

Today, we continue our journey with a steady climb through beautiful forests of pine, fir, and rhododendron while repeatedly crossing the Budhi Gandaki River over sturdy suspension bridges. The trail passes through several small settlements, including Bihi Phedi and Ghap, where ancient mani walls, prayer wheels, and chortens reflect the region's strong Tibetan Buddhist heritage. As we gain elevation, the surrounding mountains become more prominent, and on clear days we are rewarded with our first impressive views of snow-covered Himalayan peaks. The final section ascends gradually to Namrung, a picturesque village known for its traditional houses, Buddhist monasteries, and stunning mountain scenery. 

 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 2630m.|8629ft.

We continue trekking through forests and cultivated fields before passing the villages of Lho and Shyala. Shortly after leaving Namrung, the magnificent views of Mount Manaslu begin to dominate the skyline. At Lho Village, we pass the historic Ribung Monastery, where colorful prayer flags flutter against a backdrop of towering snow-covered peaks. As we continue onward, the trail enters a broad alpine valley surrounded by some of Nepal's highest mountains, including Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ngadi Chuli, and Ganesh Himal. By afternoon, we reach Shyala, a peaceful settlement located in the heart of this spectacular mountain landscape. The village offers one of the finest panoramic viewpoints on the entire Manaslu Circuit.

 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 3500m.|11480ft.

Instead of taking the direct trail to Sama Gaon, we follow a rewarding side route to Pungen Gompa, a remote monastery situated beneath the massive south face of Mount Manaslu. The trail gradually climbs across alpine meadows and yak grazing pastures while offering uninterrupted views of glaciers and towering snow-covered cliffs. After spending time exploring the peaceful monastery and admiring the close-up views of Mount Manaslu, we descend gently toward Sama Gaon. This traditional Tibetan village is the largest settlement in the upper Manaslu region and features monasteries, mani walls, and prayer wheels. 

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 3520m.|11549ft.

Today is dedicated to acclimatization, allowing our bodies to adjust to the increasing altitude before continuing toward Larke La Pass. Rather than resting all day, we undertake a challenging hike to Manaslu Base Camp. The trail climbs steadily across rocky slopes and glacial terrain, with increasingly spectacular views of Mount Manaslu, surrounding glaciers, and the dramatic Himalayan landscape. Upon reaching the base camp, we are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the mountain and its glacier.
Or, we can have the easy day, visiting the beautiful Birendra Lake, a glacial lake with striking turquoise water formed by the melting ice of the Manaslu Glacier.
After enjoying the peaceful surroundings, we return to Sama Gaon for another overnight stay, ensuring proper acclimatization before ascending further.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 4800m.|15748ft.

Today's trek is relatively short, giving us additional time to adapt to the higher elevation. We gradually ascend through wide alpine meadows while following the Budhi Gandaki River toward Samdo. As we move higher, vegetation becomes increasingly sparse, and the landscape is dominated by rocky hills, grazing yaks, and magnificent mountain views. Samdo is the permanent settlement that lies close to the Tibetan border. The village has a strong Tibetan cultural identity, with many residents traditionally involved in yak herding and cross-border trade. After arriving, we spend the remainder of the day resting, staying well-hydrated, and preparing for the higher altitude ahead.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 3860m.|12664ft.

To further prepare ourselves for the upcoming pass crossing, we spend another acclimatization day hiking toward Rui La, a high mountain pass located near the Nepal–Tibet border. The trail follows open alpine terrain with very little vegetation, offering uninterrupted views of surrounding Himalayan peaks, glaciers, and expansive mountain valleys. Although the climb becomes increasingly demanding due to the thinner air, it provides excellent altitude adaptation while rewarding us with spectacular panoramic scenery. After reaching the border, we retrace our route back to Samdo, where we rest and prepare for the final ascent toward Larke La Pass.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 4998m.|16393ft.

Today, we gradually climb above the tree line into a rugged high-altitude landscape of rocky slopes and sparse vegetation. Although the distance is relatively short, the higher elevation requires us to maintain a slow and steady pace. After crossing several small streams, we reach Dharamshala (Larke Phedi), the final overnight stop before crossing Larke La Pass.

Accommodation at Dharamshala is very basic, with dormitory-style shelters instead of the usual teahouses or lodges. Depending on the number of trekkers arriving that day, we may need to share a dormitory room with other trekkers. After settling in, we rest, stay well-hydrated, and prepare for the early morning start to cross Larke La Pass the following day.

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 4460m.|14633ft.

Today is the most challenging yet rewarding day of our expedition. We begin our trek before sunrise (about 2-3 am) to take advantage of stable weather conditions and firmer snow on the trail. The route ascends gradually across glacial moraines, rocky slopes, and occasional snowfields before finally reaching the summit of Larke La Pass at 5,106 meters, the highest point of the entire trek. The pass is decorated with colorful prayer flags and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Manaslu, Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kang Guru, Annapurna II, and several other snow-covered peaks. After celebrating our achievement and enjoying the incredible scenery, we begin a long descent through rocky terrain, glacial valleys, and alpine meadows. As we lose elevation, the landscape gradually becomes greener with grazing pastures. By late afternoon, we arrive at Bhimtang, a beautiful valley surrounded by towering mountains, where we spend a well-earned night after successfully crossing one of Nepal's most famous high mountain passes

  • Tea House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 5106m.|16752ft.

After the demanding pass crossing, today's journey is mostly downhill. We descend through alpine meadows before entering dense forests of rhododendron, pine, and oak. Along the trail, we cross several streams on wooden bridges and pass through traditional villages where farming becomes more common as the altitude decreases. Upon reaching Tilche, we board a jeep for the drive to Besisahar along rough mountain roads. Besisahar, the administrative headquarters of Lamjung District, marks the official conclusion of our trekking adventure.

  • Guest House
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • 2300m.|7546ft.

Today, we leave the mountains behind and travel by road to either Kathmandu or Pokhara. The journey follows scenic highways through river valleys, terraced hillsides, and picturesque rural settlements, offering one final opportunity to admire Nepal's diverse landscapes. Those returning to Kathmandu can spend the remaining time exploring the city's vibrant markets, enjoying local cuisine, or purchasing souvenirs. Those traveling to Pokhara can relax beside the tranquil Phewa Lake and enjoy the peaceful lakeside atmosphere after completing the trek. Regardless of the destination, the day marks our return to modern comforts following an unforgettable Himalayan journey.

    A fantastic trekking experience

    We – a group of nine people from our local hiking club (Canberra Bushwalking Club, Australia) – did the 24-day Manaslu Circuit-Tsum Valley trek with Nepal Nirvana Trails. They did a first-rate job in organising the trek and, during the trek, their staff (guides and porters) were highly competent, as well as friendly, informative and safety-conscious. The trek was a great success and we really appreciated the efforts by the company and its staff in making it so. We would very gladly trek with them again in the future.

    Dear Ian, Namaste!
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting Nepal Nirvana Trails for your 24-day Manaslu Circuit & Tsum Valley Trek. It was truly our pleasure to organize this adventure for your amazing Canberra Bushwalking Club group. We are delighted to know that you appreciated our guides and porters for their professionalism, friendliness, and safety-focused support throughout the trek. Your kind words mean a lot to our entire team. We look forward to welcoming you again in Nepal for another memorable Himalayan journey in the future.
    Warm regards,
    KP Dhital & Nepal Nirvana Trails Team

    Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek 2026

    I completed the Tsum valley and Manaslu circuit with 8 other treckers from my club. From the moment we were met at the airport, to the final dinner back in Kathmandu, Nepal Nirvana Trails did everything possible to make this trip special. Our guide Chhiring, and assistant guide Prajil, were wonderful. They made sure we were well informed, well fed, had good accommodation and they helped us negotiate the tough days. The porters were awesome and they did so much more than carry our load. On acclimatisation days, they joined the guides and helped us on the more difficult high altitude trails. We were a large group, 9 treckers, with different abilities. The guides and porters made sure everyone from the slowest to the fastest walkers were all supported and arrived safely. We also had a lot of fun along the way, dancing on a mountain peak to keep warm, the Nepalese pop music and dance intruction provided by our guides. I would definitely book again with Nepal Nirana Trails.

     

    Dear Laeli, Namaste!
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trekking with us on the Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit Trek. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the journey with Chhiring, Prajil, and our amazing porter team. It means a lot to know that the whole group felt supported, safe, and had fun along the way.
    We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you again in Nepal for another adventure.
