The Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is one of Nepal’s most remarkable remote trekking experiences, combining the classic Manaslu Circuit with the culturally preserved Tsum Valley — a sacred Himalayan region known for ancient monasteries, Tibetan Buddhist heritage, and dramatic alpine landscapes.
Located in the northern Gorkha district near the Tibetan border, this trek offers an authentic alternative to busier trekking routes. The journey passes through lush river valleys, traditional stone villages, dense forests, and high mountain terrain before crossing the spectacular Larkya La Pass (5,106 m) — the highest point of the expedition.
As a restricted area trek, the Manaslu and Tsum Valley region maintains a unique sense of isolation and cultural preservation. Trekkers experience genuine Himalayan hospitality, visit centuries-old monasteries such as Mu Gompa and Rachen Gompa, and witness daily life in communities that remain deeply connected to Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
At Raftrek Nepal, our approach focuses on safe logistics, experienced local guides, and carefully planned acclimatization to ensure a rewarding and responsible trekking experience in one of Nepal’s most remote mountain regions.
