Adventure enthusiasts often head to Nepal, Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek – 27 days offers a plethora of challenging explorations that pass through different trekking routes.

The Tsum Valley is a northeast trail in the Manaslu trek, which began operations from the year 2008. The Tsumbas, who are of Tibetan origin, continue to speak the unique dialect and trade with the north. The trail passes through several ridges and villages. One of the unique experiences that you can cherish for the rest of life is the path that turns the trek into a Philim, where the east begins to lower. During the journey, you will witness Bharal, Himalayan Tahrs, and snow leopards (if lucky).
The fascinating views that you observe during the journey are priceless. You will notice the stone houses with slate roofs and Milarepa’s cave. The monasteries present along the trekking route welcome trekkers in the evening, who receive the chance to watch the evening prayers offered to the god. Rachen Gompa and Mu Gompa located in the south are monasteries for Ngak-pa sect nuns. The round-about view from the monastery is the best.
This is a long trek for travelers seeking to get combine trek in the Manaslu region. However, it’s perfect for hikers who prefer to have only 12 days Manaslu circuit Trek or 15 days Tsum Valley Trek.
