Manaslu Circuit Trek

Tsum Valley Trek

Colin Tackett (From Colorado, USA)

A great trip around Manaslu!

The Manaslu Circuit is a beautiful trek through river valleys and along the Manaslu Range. We had an amazing time thanks to the great work of Mount Adventure Holidays and our Guide Pasang Sherpa. Pasang customized our itinerary to ensure we visited cultural sites, paced well to acclimate to the altitude, and found our accommodations at good tea houses along the way. We got so many great pictures from the trek, met travelers from all over the world on the trail, and got to enjoy local Nepali and Tibetan cultures. I recommend both this trek and working with Mount Adventure Holidays!

${"id":14,"activity_id":5,"destination_id":1,"title":"Tsum Valley Trek","alias":"tsum-valley-trek","overview":"<p><a href=\"\/manaslu-region-trek\">Tsum Valley Trek was<\/a> not opened to <strong>global trekkers until 2008,<\/strong> meaning the trails are comparatively less traveled and more adventurous than many other treks in Nepal. On this trek, trekkers will be able to explore the remote and beautiful surroundings of Ganesh Himal, Bouddha Himal, and the Sringi Himal mountain ranges. The trek starts and concludes at Arughat, a 7-8 hours drive from Kathmandu. The initial days of the trek are all about hiking to Budhi Gandaki Valley on remote trails that pass through lush forests, terraced fields, and beautiful villages. The trekkers need to leave the main trail of the <a href=\"\/package\/Manaslu-circuit-trek\">Manaslu Circuit trek<\/a> to head towards Tsum Valley. The inner feeling of peace and tranquility that you get on this trek is indescribable. Apart from the exotic north of Mt.Manaslu Trek offers an exciting journey along the lower Budhi Gandaki regions of Liding, Machhakhola, Jagat, and Philim. Ancient Gumbas such as Rachen Gompa, <strong>Mu Gompa, and Dephyudonma Gompa<\/strong> are other important highlights of this trek. Lastly, the warm hospitality of the Tsum people, the indigenous ethnic community of the valley, offers a homely environment to trekkers even in such remoteness. bustle. Tsum Valley Trek is an ideal package for travelers who love solitude and a journey far away from crowds and hustle.<\/p>","cost_includes":"<ul>\r\n<li>Airport transfers by private vehicle as per the itinerary<\/li>\r\n<li>ACAP, MCAP and Manaslu, and Tusm Valley restricted area permit<\/li>\r\n<li>Local bus from Kathmandu to Sotikhola and return<\/li>\r\n<li>Government licensed, experienced English speaking guide<\/li>\r\n<li>Food, accommodation, salary, insurance, equipment, and medicine for all staff<\/li>\r\n<li>Sleeping bags and down jackets for the trek (should be refunded after the trek<\/li>\r\n<li>All government taxes<\/li>\r\n<li>Accommodation in guesthouses during the trek<\/li>\r\n<li>Three daily meals during the trek<\/li>\r\n<li>First aid kit<\/li>\r\n<li>Trekking Map<\/li>\r\n<li>fresh fruit<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","cost_excludes":"<p>\u200b\u200bNepal visa fees Meals and accommodation in Kathmandu Travel and medical insurance International airfare Beverage bills, bar bills, and Personal expenses Drinks and desserts Tips for the guide, porter, and driver Excess baggage charges (if you have more than 10 kg of luggage, a cargo charge is around $1.5 per kg) Extra night accommodation in Kathmandu because of early arrival, late departure, early return from mountain (due to any reason) than the scheduled itinerary Optional trips and sightseeing if extended<\/p>","trip_highlights":"<ul>\r\n<li>Witness majestic views of Ganesh Himal (7,422m) & Mt.
