As fascinating as its name, Tsum Valley Trek is one of the most beautiful treks of Nepal. This trek takes you to an exciting journey to the undisturbed and pristine Manaslu Region into the Tsum Valley.

Many travelers call this the hidden valley. Very few travelers knew about the hidden and stunning valleys of the Manaslu Region. The government opened this restricted area for trekking only a decade ago. Now, a decent amount of trekkers visit this region every year.

In your 18 days Tsum Valley Trek with Himalayan Joy Adventure, you will pass through many beautiful villages, walk alongside Budhi Gandaki River and witness the breathtaking Ganesh Himal, Shringi Himal, and other mountains. Your journey to the serene Himalayan Valley with abundant art and culture is sure to become a lifelong memory.

Himalayan Joy Adventure has designed the itinerary for the Tsum Valley trek which starts and ends in Arughat. One can drive from Kathmandu to Arughat then start trek following the Budhi Gandaki River, pass the village of Sotikhola, Labubensi, Machhikhola, Jagat, Filim to Tsum valley. This trail takes you to the altitude of a 3700m, Mu Gompa and descent down following the same trail to Arughat and drives back to Kathmandu. The best season to trek the Tsum Valley is spring and autumn. If the trekkers have plenty of time and want to extend the trekking, we recommend the continuing trek to the Larke-la pass, is also known as Manaslu Circuit Trek.

Trip Note

ECO-FRIENDLY

Every day the world is facing a big issue of environmental pollution and in Nepal as well. Our field staffs are quite conscious about environmental pollution at any time and we encourage to all. We would suggest to our guest to use boiled water or water purification pills than buying a bottle of water, it helps to avoid plastic bottles which can takes long time to disappear. During the trek, if possible you can order same items food in a group which minimizes the fuel used and to make campfire is almost forbidden. We would encourage being a responsible traveler so, just leaving foot-print on the trail and bring out all non-biodegradables which you had.
