Our company Representative will meet you at Tribhuwan International Airport. You will be driven to the hotel in a private vehicle.

Sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley.

After an early breakfast, you will take a private vehicle from Kathmandu to Machha Khola via Arughat and Soti Khola to start your tour via the Manaslu and Tsum Valley. You will have a glimpse of the stunning views, terraces, and verdant slopes of Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Himal. Following your journey through the communities of Gurung and Magar, farms, and cascading waterfalls, you will arrive at Machha Khola.
You will arrive in the Sal Forest after traversing a breathtaking suspension bridge. You will trek through woodlands and then climb a challenging slope across the Budhi Gandaki River. These roads may pass through beautiful rice fields before arriving at Labubesi village. After arriving in Machha Khola village, you will relax and prepare for the next day.

From Machha Khola to Jagat, the Manaslu with Tsum Valley Trekking path is challenging due to its many ups and downs. You will go via Tharo Khola from Machha Khola to Khorlabesi. Khorlabesi is another small yet charming Gurung village. After another quick but strenuous ascent, you will reach Tatopani, a hot springs setting where you may spend some time unwinding in the natural sauna. You will then reach Doban after going across the suspension bridge over the Budhi Gandaki River and climbing the stairway.

After going through Yaruphant, one crosses the Yaru River. You will pass the Cantilever bridge in Yaru Bagar, which was constructed in 2016 after an earthquake using Swiss technology. You will then have to climb over the mountain, cross the Budhi Gandaki River on the west bank, and walk down the river to get to Jagat hamlet. At the Jagat police checkpoint, which serves as the entrance to the Manaslu Conservation Area, you will register your permits.

Situated on a level plain, Jagat is a large Gurung settlement. You will climb a rugged slope to Salleri after passing through this agro-based community, where you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Mount Sringi. You will cross the longest suspension bridge in Nepal and ascend to Lokpa, which is situated in the northern region of Philim, after descending to Sirdibas, a historic Buddhist hamlet.

You will go through wooded areas to reach Ekle Bhatti after about an hour of climbing. You will encounter a stunning canyon and a fork in the road as your Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek route climbs through the pine forests. To get to Tsum Valley, where you will spend the night on Lokpa, take the trail on the right. You may enjoy breathtaking views of Himalchuli and Boudha Himal from Lokpa village.

The route passes through a completely silent tropical forest of pine and rhododendron. You’ll experience a number of ups and downs before coming to a tiny suspension bridge. After crossing this bridge, the Manaslu with Tsum Valley Trekking Route is diverted to Ripchet and Chumling. You will go by a little stone wall as you cross the bridge and continue along the path. Ganesh Himal may be seen from a monastery at the upper end of Chumling hamlet. Among Chumling’s monasteries are Panago Gumba, Mani Dhungyur, and Gurwa Gumba. There is a big Chorten in the middle of the field, which adds to the view of the little valley.

Crossing a suspension bridge to the other bank from Chumling marks the beginning of the day. The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek path follows the Syar River all the way down to Domje. You must keep going upwards from Domje in order to reach Chhokang Paro. You will arrive in Gho Village, which contains a neighborhood tea store, after crossing another bridge and going through Rainjam. Another two-hour climb to Tsum leads to the charming traditional village of Chhokang Paro.

On a clear day, Himalchuli and Ganesh Himal may be seen in the distance from Chhokang Paro. Following your journey via Chhokang Paro, you will arrive at Lamagaon before continuing on to Rachen Gompa, your destination for the day.

Amazingly beautiful hikes from Rachen Gompa to the Nile start after breakfast. After lunch at the Nile, you will depart from the tea house with your heavy bags and go on a day trip to the Mu Gompa. On the Manaslu with Tsum Valley Trekk tour, you will ascend stunning pathways to Mu Gompa, the highest point in Tsum Valley and the largest monastery in the area. Mu Gompa, a mountain-ringed valley that resembles a flat bowl, will astound you with its own world.

There is no tea house or lodging amenities in Mu Gompa. Those who wish to stay in Mu Gompa must do so in the Monastery, which does not have a lot of room. So, after visiting Mu Gompa, you will return to the Nile.

You may stay in a Sherpa residence in Phurbe after traveling to Chhule via the Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trekking Trail. The trek continues along the banks of the Siyar River, across flat meadows and power wires, to the nunnery at Rachen Gompa. Rachen Gompa offers a great perspective of Kipu Himal in clear weather. On the journey to Chumling, you will travel via Chhokang Paro, Domje, Kowo, and Tanju. Your overnight lodging for today will be in Chumling.

You would have to travel quite a bit downhill from Chumling to Lokpa village after crossing the suspension bridge. With a distant view of Sringi Himal, the Manaslu Tsum Trek starts on a rocky slope. You will be strolling along the bank of the Shair Khola. Beautiful views of the Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, and other nearby snow-capped summits can be seen from the trek. After passing Ghatta Khola, you will continue on to fields that raise vegetables, potatoes, millet, and maize. You will hike along the pathways along the bank of the Budhi Gandaki, pass through an empty canyon, and traverse bamboo trees to reach the Deng River.

You will start your Manaslu Tsum trek from Deng to Namrung on this day. Ascend Deng to Rana Village, then on to Bhiphedi. The hike includes many crossings of the Budi Gandaki River and breathtaking vistas of Sringi Himal. The trail passes the Serang Khola and winds in and out of valley canyons until arriving in Ghap. The valley steepens as you leave Ghap, climbing past forests of rhododendron and bamboo.

You will reach Namrung Village, the entry point to Upper Nuri, after crossing a few untamed rivers. Upper Nuri is home to Tibetans. They use a different dialect when speaking.

From Namrung to Lihi, the Manaslu with Tsum trek trail climbs sharply uphill, offering breathtaking views of Himal Chuli and Ganesh Himal. From Lihi, the road descends to the Hinang River after initially passing through the Simnang side valley. You can see Ngadi Chuli from a chorten along the river. Then you’ll continue on to Sho. Now the trail climbs to Shrip. You will pass a huge prayer wheel on your route to Shrip. A strenuous trek leads to the ridge where Lho settlement is situated.

From the town, the first views of Manaslu North and Naike Himal are seen. Ribung monastery is a tiny monastery located immediately above the village of Lho. Another excellent location to witness the dawn or sunset is Kani, which is close to Lho village. You may hike to Kani in the evening to witness the sunset. If you get up early enough, you might even be able to view the dawn above Manaslu Himal.

On the route from Lho to Samagaon lies the settlement of Shyala. Gompas, Tibetan settlements, alpine beauty, and slopes with breath-taking vistas of Mount Manaslu are all along your Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking Route. In addition, you will get the opportunity to view the region’s cultural landscapes. Continue exploring Ribung Gompa by hiking up to the gompa. The breathtaking vistas of the tall glacier mountains will captivate visitors.

There are options to explore the neighboring glacier moraine, Birendra Lake, and Pungyen Gompa. If you simply want to unwind and explore Samagaon, stop at the Pungyen monastery, which is situated beneath the east face of Manaslu. There are hot springs and the cave Gompa further up in the village.

We strongly suggest acclimating to the altitude in Samagaon for a day. After dropping your bags off at the teahouse, you may hike close, which helps you get used to the new environment. You will have several great walking options throughout the acclimatization days. First, Birendra Lake is a 3,450-meter-high freshwater lake that is adjacent to Punhyen Glacier. The lake is within a 3-kilometer walk from Samogaon.

Hiking leads to Manaslu Base Camp, the eighth-tallest mountain base camp in the world. It is around 6 kilometers from the settlement at 4,800 meters. Pungen Monastery, located 6-7 kilometers from the village, is the third. The serene and beautiful hike offers views of peaks, mani walls, a monastery, and prayer flags. Try to visit all three locations on this particular day. If not all of them, you may visit at least two. The walk will eventually return to Samagoan in the evening.

You will need to climb steeply on a remote route to reach Samdo. The Manaslu Circuit Trekking Trail leads through a beautiful woods with birch, juniper, and rhododendron trees, as well as alongside the Budhi Gandaki River. Before reaching Kermo Kharka and the white Kani Gateway, the valley gets wider. The mani walls that around the walkway heighten its appeal. Samdo, which is just 4 kilometers from the Tibetan border, will be reached as you go. Here, one may observe a Tibetan refugee village, Mt. Manaslu, Simnang Himal, Ngadi Chuli, the Manaslu glacier, the Manaslu icefall, and other Himalayan peaks.

Views of the magnificent Manaslu Mountain and the Larkya Glacier are breathtaking today. You will unwind in Larkya La Phedi and get ready to traverse Larkya La Pass the next day. The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek continues across the Budi Gandaki, crossing hills and wooden bridges. Two streams must be crossed before arriving to the Larkya glacier, which is followed by a breathtaking valley. After that, you will go through the Salka Khola Valley, ascend once more, and reach Dharmasala, also called Larkya La Phedi, a stone guest house that functions more as a kind of resting place than a lodge. You will have plenty of time to adjust to the altitude because the climb is short.

You have to leave Dharmasala very early in the morning in order to start hiking across the longest and most challenging section. The first part of the Manaslu Tsum Trek is a slow climb on the moraine. After descending gradually to the lake, it crosses high grassy slopes before becoming hazy and rocky. You will attempt the last challenging climb to the pass after descending to the four ice lakes. The pass offers views of the Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, Kanguru, Minjung, and the enormous Annapurna II.

The path descends more gradually on loose gravel to another grassy moraine after following the top of the moraine to the west and traversing it via a series of steep, rocky switchbacks. in this point, the path gets less complicated and ends in a little meadow. The valley enlarges as the paths descend to a large meadow, passing past a mani wall and a small rest house that designates Bhimtang.

According to the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek Itinerary, today is the last day of hiking in the Manaslu area. With vistas of Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Himlung Himal, and Cheo Himal, the descent from Bimthang winds through rhododendron woods, high-grazing grassland, and Dudh Khola. First and foremost, you will descend from Bimthang to Hampuk hamlet after passing Dobhan and Purdi Khola. You will next pass through Yak Kharka and Kharche, together with the stunning streams Soti Khola and Kasongto Khola, on your journey to Gho Village. You will eventually reach Tiliche after traveling along the river’s bank through Gho settlement.

At last, you will bid Tiliche farewell and go to Besi Sahar . Along with images of some of the most stunning mountains on earth, you will bring home memories that will last a lifetime. You’ll take a regular bus from Besi Sahar to Kathmandu or Pokhara. After successfully finishing the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek, you will spend the night in Kathmandu or Pokhara, where you may discuss your experiences at a goodbye dinner.

According to your departure flight our representative will drop you off at the airport.
