Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek Route Overview

The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek follows a long mountain route through the Budhi Gandaki Valley, the remote Tsum Valley, and northern Manaslu. The journey begins with a drive from Kathmandu toward Soti Khola, then continues on foot through villages, forests, terraced fields, and narrow sections of the Budhi Gandaki Valley.

After reaching Jagat and Philim, the trail turns toward Lokpa and enters Tsum Valley. This part of the journey takes you through Chumling, Chhokangparo, Nile and Mu Gompa. The landscape changes gradually as you gain elevation, while Tibetan Buddhist culture becomes more visible through monasteries, mani walls, chortens and traditional villages.

After exploring the upper Tsum Valley, we retrace our route toward Chumling and reconnect with the Manaslu Circuit. The journey then continues through Deng, Namrung and Sama Gaon. We spend a rest day at Sama Gaon to allow the body to adjust before moving toward Samdo and Dharamsala.

The highest section comes with the crossing of Larkya La Pass at about 5,160 m (16,929 ft). From the pass, the trail descends toward Bhimtang, Gho and Tal. The final part of the journey is by road through Besisahar before returning to Kathmandu.

This route combines the quieter trails of Tsum Valley with the high mountain landscape of the Manaslu Circuit, making the itinerary longer and more varied than the standard Manaslu Circuit route.

 Verified My Everest Trip has helped me to achieve my EBC dream..
Trekking the EBC with My Everest Trip is one of my best hiking experiences. The initial contact with Puru, owner of the company, was smooth. He always gave me timely responses even though there are about 12 hours of time difference. Puru also made sure we were well taken care throughout the whole trip. He was at Kathmandu airport to pick us up, sent us to the hotel; He was on phone with different airlines to secure us a flight to Lukla when our flight had technical issues. After we were back in Kathmandu, he provided us with a private car to have a day tour of the city. During the trekking, our guide Shree, with his extensive experience on the trails, suggested us to hike counter-clockwise, which was the opposite of my original plan. I am so glad I took this advice and made our 12-day EBC-ChoLa Pass- Gokyo trekking a success. He also provided micro spikes and warm mittens for us. Without micro spikes we would not have crossed Cho-La Pass. I would highly recommend My Everest Trip to anyone who has the dream of hiking in the Himalayas.

 Verified EBC- Our most rewarding hiking trip
Our 12-day hiking experience to EBC couldn’t be enjoyable without the help of our guide Shree and porter Mitra. Shree’s experience on the trail gave us good advice to hike counter clockwise, Namche- EBC- Cho-la Pass- Gokyo-Namche. Even though we had a few days of bad weather, We never had any problems, but enjoyed spectacular views of the Himalaya mountains, valleys, and the ecosystem. we would highly recommend Shree and My Everest Trip for anybody that want to experience Mount Everest camp hike.

 Verified EBC Trek, absolutely incredible!!!
I can’t say enough incredible things about My Everest Trip, especially Puru (the owner) and Shree (my guide). From the very beginning, Puru was unbelievably responsive—patiently answering what must have felt like a billion questions and making me feel completely confident and prepared before even arriving in Nepal. Shree, my guide, was absolutely exceptional. I’m not the fastest trekker, but he never once made me feel rushed. He walked at my pace, constantly checked on how I was feeling, and took my health very seriously—making sure I stayed safe and avoided altitude sickness. His encouragement and positivity kept me going on the toughest days, and I truly don’t think I would have made it to Base Camp without him. What really sets this team apart is how far above and beyond they go. They helped customize my trip so I could spend a night at the iconic Everest View Hotel, which ended up being one of the highlights of the entire experience. They also handled all logistics seamlessly—securing the best tea houses and lounges along the route so I was always comfortable. Shree even helped me track down a tattoo studio in Namche, which turned out to be the highest tattoo studio in the world—such a unique and unforgettable addition to the journey! When weather delays impacted flights, they acted quickly and got me onto the second helicopter out—something that made all the difference in catching my return flight while others were stuck on the mountain. As a solo traveler, I always felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Puru and Shree made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, turning what could have been a daunting experience into something unforgettable. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and as someone who isn’t exactly in peak physical shape, I’m incredibly proud to have made it to Everest Base Camp—with huge thanks to their guidance, care, and encouragement. If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend My Everest Trip. You won’t find a more dedicated, thoughtful, and professional team.

 Verified Amazing Trip to EBC !
Our trip to EBC was amazing and an adventurous trip ! We were 4 hrs away from EBC and had to turn around due to a blizzard ( Snow storm ) and they had closed EBC due to amount of snow and risk. Since we had Shree with us, who was an absolute gentlemen, caring, and experienced, he guided us to a safe place. We walked down for 10 hrs in 3 feet of snow so that we can get rescued. I have to say that, without shree it wouldn't have been a great experience. I would highly recommend to hire Shree as your guide.

 Verified Unforgettable Adventure
My friend and I had the best time trekking to Everest Base Camp with our amazing local guide, Shree! We're from Alaska and fairly used to hiking, but found the expertise and assistance from My Everest Trip to be invaluable (we got a sleeping bag, trekking poles, a porter, and all of the details taken care of!) The real treat though was getting a glimpse of the Himalayan life from a local tour guide. From getting patient answers to many questions, introduced to local delicacies, to evening musical jam sessions in teahouses, this trip was an unforgettable adventure.

 Verified I recently completed a 14-day trek in the Himalayas , around Ama Dablam and Gokyo lake, and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Shree was professional, calm, positive and knew the route very well. He checked our health on the altitude, kept us organized, and made sure everything went smoothly. We had to change the route due to the weather and Shree was very flexible, suggested options to us which I appreciated very much . If you’re planning a trek, I definitely recommend him.

 Verified Thankyou Shree!🙏
Just wrapped up a 14-day trek in the Himalayas and it was absolutely unreal – thanks to our amazing guide Shree. He knew the mountains like the back of his hand, kept us safe, and made the whole trip feel easy (even when it wasn’t!). Super organised, always had a smile, and genuinely cared about the group and locals. He went above and beyond every day – from helping us with altitude to sharing laughs over a cuppa at night. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re thinking of doing a trek in the Himalayas – do it, and make sure you go with this legend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you had to pick one company to plan your EBC trek or really anything I would 100% pick this company, simply because of the owner. There was moments during my trip where I had concerns and the owner was always SO QUICK to reply and handle the problem in such a professional and simple manner. Knows how to communicate and reassure his clients like a natural born leader(he was also a guide for EBC before so he is extremely educated on trekking).

Thank you again for this amazing experience🙏🙏.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Annapurna circuit hike through this company, which took us 12 days. Everything was very well organised, and MP, our guide, was very helpful and ensured we were always able to acclimatise without any issues. Mahesh, our porter, was also great. The company also offered to transport our bags from Kathmandu to Pokhara, as we didn’t plan on heading back to Kathmandu for a couple of weeks.

Best Season To Trek Manaslu Tsum Valley

Autumn Season (September to November)

The well-known time of year for the Tsum Valley Trek is during Autumn, which falls between September and November. This season is the peak trekking season in Nepal, where you will experience the moderate temperature and the blue sky. All the mountains will open towards you as if saying hello to you.

During the season, huge numbers of trekkers will be trekking to the destination. You will meet many trekkers from different nationalities.

During the Spring season, you will also be trekking in the mountains along with the diverse flowers and the flora and fauna found in each region of Nepal.

You will be welcomed with the whispers of the birds and the different animals on the trails. During the spring, there will be less snowfall in the high mountains, so you will meet the expedition people on the trails moving towards the base camp.

Summer / Monsoon	June to August	Rain, cloudy weather and possible muddy or slippery trails	Less suitable

Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek Difficulty

The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is graded moderate in your current package, although some sections are physically demanding. The trek does not require technical climbing skills, but you should be prepared for several consecutive days of walking, steep sections, uneven trails and significant altitude gain.

The most demanding part comes toward the end of the trek when we cross Larkya La Pass. The walking distance is also considerable on some days, so good endurance is helpful.

Difficulty factor	What to expect
Overall grade	Moderate
Daily walking	About 4 to 8 hours
Terrain	Forest trails, stone paths, rocky sections and suspension bridges
Highest point	Larkya La Pass, 5,160 m (16,929 ft)
Most demanding day	Dharamsala to Larkya La Pass to Bhimtang
Technical climbing	Not required
Main challenge	Long walking days and altitude
Preparation	Regular walking and uphill training recommended

You do not need to be an experienced mountaineer for this trek. However, being comfortable with long uphill and downhill walks will make the journey easier. Training before the trip can include regular hiking, stair climbing, walking and exercises that improve leg strength and endurance.

Your guide will also help maintain a suitable pace during the trek. It is better to walk steadily and conserve energy than to push too hard during the lower sections.

Altitude and Acclimatization

Altitude becomes increasingly important as the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek moves from the lower Budhi Gandaki Valley toward Tsum Valley and the higher Manaslu region. The itinerary includes a rest day at Sama Gaon before the route continues toward the Larkya La area.

The gradual increase in elevation gives your body time to adjust. Even so, everyone responds differently to altitude. Staying hydrated, walking at a steady pace and getting enough rest are important throughout the higher sections.

Location	Elevation	Trek stage
Soti Khola	730 m (2,395 ft)	Trek begins
Jagat	1,410 m (4,626 ft)	Lower Manaslu
Lokpa	2,240 m (7,349 ft)	Tsum Valley entrance
Chumling	2,386 m (7,828 ft)	Tsum Valley
Chhokangparo	3,010 m (9,875 ft)	Upper Tsum Valley
Nile	3,361 m (11,027 ft)	Upper Tsum Valley
Mu Gompa	3,700 m (12,139 ft)	Upper Tsum Valley
Sama Gaon	3,530 m (11,581 ft)	Acclimatization
Dharamsala	4,460 m (14,633 ft)	Before Larkya La
Larkya La Pass	5,160 m (16,929 ft)	Highest point
Bhimtang	3,720 m (12,205 ft)	After pass crossing

During the trek, let your guide know if you feel unusually tired, dizzy, nauseous or develop a headache at higher elevations. These symptoms should be taken seriously. Your guide can monitor your condition and decide whether you need additional rest or a descent.

Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek Cost

The current package price for your 19 day Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek starts at US$1,755. The final cost can vary depending on group size and the services selected for your trip.

Your package already covers several major trekking expenses, including accommodation, meals during the trek, transportation, guide services, permits and government taxes. Personal expenses are separate and should be budgeted before departure.

Trekking permits	Included according to package
Government taxes	Included
Travel insurance	Additional
Nepal visa	Additional

Tips	Additional

It is useful to carry some extra cash for personal expenses during the trek. Prices for optional services can be higher in remote villages than in Kathmandu, particularly for drinks, charging and other facilities.

If you are traveling with a private group, the overall price can also be arranged according to your group size and transportation preference.

Transportation to and From the Trek

The journey starts with a road trip from Kathmandu toward Soti Khola. Unlike trekking routes that begin with a domestic flight, this itinerary reaches the trailhead by road. The drive passes through Nepal’s hill country before entering the lower Manaslu area.

Road conditions can vary, especially during periods of rain. Some sections are rough and winding, so the actual travel time can change depending on road conditions, traffic and local circumstances.

After completing the trekking section, we descend to Tal and continue by road toward Besisahar. From Besisahar, we travel back to Kathmandu.

Your current package mentions local bus or jeep transportation according to your request. For a more comfortable journey, a private vehicle can be arranged where suitable.

We recommend keeping your important documents, water, snacks, medications and electronics in your day bag during the driving sections.

Food and Drinking Water

Meals are included throughout the trekking portion of your package. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are generally served at the teahouses where you stop for the night or during the day’s walking route.

The menu varies from village to village, but common meals include dal bhat, rice, noodles, pasta, potatoes, soup, eggs and different Tibetan style dishes. Dal bhat is a practical choice on longer trekking days because it provides a filling combination of rice, lentils and vegetables.

Food choices become more limited as you move into remote and higher parts of Tsum Valley and the Manaslu region. It is therefore useful to carry a few snacks such as nuts, dried fruit, chocolate or energy bars.

For drinking water, you can obtain water from teahouses and settlements along the route. Avoid drinking untreated water directly from streams. A reusable bottle combined with boiled or properly treated water is a sensible option. Water purification tablets or a filtration system can also be useful.

Internet, Mobile Network and Charging Facilities

Internet and mobile connectivity are not consistent throughout the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek. You may find mobile coverage and Wi Fi in some villages, while other sections can have little or no connection.

Electricity is available in many settlements, but charging facilities become less convenient as you move into remote areas. Some teahouses may charge a separate fee for charging electronic devices.

Facility	Availability
Mobile network	Available in some areas, but not consistent
Wi Fi	Available at selected teahouses
Electricity	Available in many villages
Phone charging	Generally available with limitations
Camera charging	Possible at some teahouses
Power bank	Strongly recommended

Before leaving Kathmandu, download your important documents, maps and other information that you may need without an internet connection.

A power bank is worth carrying, especially for the higher sections of the trek. It also helps when several trekkers need to use the same charging facility at a teahouse.

Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek vs Manaslu Circuit Trek

The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek includes the main Manaslu Circuit but adds a separate section through Tsum Valley. The additional route takes you to places such as Chumling, Chhokangparo, Nile and Mu Gompa before returning to the Manaslu Circuit.

The standard Manaslu Circuit focuses mainly on the circuit itself and the crossing of Larkya La Pass. The combined route is therefore a better choice if you want additional time in Tsum Valley and are interested in its villages, monasteries and Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Feature	Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek	Manaslu Circuit Trek
Tsum Valley	Included	Not included
Manaslu Circuit	Included	Included
Larkya La Pass	Included	Included
Tsum Valley villages	Yes	No
Mu Gompa	Included	No
Rachen Gompa area	Included	No
Cultural experience	More extensive	Strong
Duration	Longer	Generally shorter
Route	More varied	More direct
Difficulty	Moderate	Challenging
Suitable for	Trekkers wanting Tsum Valley and Manaslu	Trekkers focused on the Manaslu Circuit

If you mainly want to complete the Manaslu Circuit and cross Larkya La, the standard route may be enough. If you want to add the remote Tsum Valley to the journey, the combined Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek gives you more time to explore the villages and cultural sites before continuing around Manaslu.

Backpack(BAGS): Pack a high-quality comfortable backpack that can hold at least 35 to 45 liters of gear and supplies that are essential for you during the trek in the mountains.

Google Maps and Compass: In the event that the weather turns bad, you will need a good map and compass to find your way.
