Off-the-Beaten-Path Exploration: Unlike the more frequented routes, like the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp trek, you will find a truly remote experience offering tranquility in the lap of the mighty Himalayas.

Spectacular Mountain Views: Enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the Manaslu range, including the world’s eighth-highest peak, Mount Manaslu (8,163 meters), throughout the trek. Moreover, as you approach the Larkya La Pass, you can get a close-up view of Ganesh Himal, Himlung Himal, and various other surrounding peaks.
Challenging but Rewarding Adventure: Considering the long duration, off-the-grid destinations, and rugged mountain terrain, this trek is considered a difficult endeavour. Suitable for seasoned trekkers, the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley trek takes you to a maximum elevation of 5,106 meters at Larkya La Pass. Despite the several challenges, you will find unparalleled rewards and experience a sense of accomplishment as you complete this adventurous journey in the Himalayas.
Authentic Cultural Immersion: The Manaslu region is one of Nepal’s most secluded destinations. Recently opened for tourism, the communities here have remained unchanged for centuries. This trek takes you up to the Tsum Valley, a secluded region, neighboring the Nepal-Tibet border. Here, you will find distinct Tibetan-Buddhist culture and influences in the local communities, lifestyle, and ancient monasteries.
