Manaslu Tsum Valley,
on the border with Tibet, then around Manaslu (8163m/26783ft) eighth highest peak and over the Larkya La (5100m) is a challenging one that is also spectacularly beautiful and culturally very rewarding. Both camping and tea house treks can done in Manaslu Tsum valley trek and Manaslu Larke pass Trek. It was opened to tourism in 1991s and remote eastern Tsum Valley trekking being added in 2008s.
A scenic overland trip to Arughat a river bank local hub, where we begin our trek up its gorge, over countless ridges through hospitable villages. From Philim we turn east, over a ridge of pine and rhododendron forest, to enter the narrow Lower Tsum Valley. The broader upper valley lies in a north-south direction which we explore for six glorious days.
A large village in Tsum valley trek, Chekampar with slate roofed stone houses against a cliff. Crops include barley, maize, buckwheat and potatoes. Mu Gompa, near Nile is a large monastery with many monks. Rachen Gompa is a nunnery. Views from here into Tibet are enticing. Gumba Lungdang is another important nunnery: you may wish to join them for an evening puja. The 360o mountain views from here are amongst the best on this trek. A high trek to the Ganesh Himal Base Camp through forest wilderness is also a highlight.
Our Tsum valley trail leads to Nupri “the western mountains” through bamboo forests to Around Manaslu Circuit trail offering views of Himal Chuli (7893m), Ngadi Chuli (7873m) and Manaslu (8156m) with the glaciers that flow from their flanks.
In Samagaon, the Kargu Choling Monastery and Pungyen Gompa are worth a visit. A high trail leads to the Manaslu Base Camp. The next two days climb gradually upward toward the Larkya La (5100m). The downward trail drops into the heavily forested valley of the Marsyangdi River and, on crossing the river it joins the Annapurna circuit trail and follow the downstream to Bhulbule for the bus to Kathmandu. A trail to seriously consider at least once in a lifetime!
