The Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley Trek is the complete Manaslu-region journey – combining the sacred side valley of Tsum with the full high mountain circuit around Mt. Manaslu and the crossing of Larke Pass. It blends monastery visits, village life, yak pastures and nunneries in Tsum with the big-mountain drama of the upper Manaslu basin and one of Nepal’s finest high passes.
Following the Budhi Gandaki upstream, you first leave the main trail at Lokpa and spend several days deep inside Tsum Valley – exploring stone villages, Mu Gompa, Rachen Nunnery and the daily rhythms of a living Buddhist valley. Rejoining the Manaslu Circuit at Lokpa, you then climb through Deng, Namrung, Lho and Samagaon before crossing Larke Pass and descending into the forests of Bhimthang and Tilje.
Eagle Trail Escapes designs this combined itinerary for trekkers who want to make the most of a once-in-a-lifetime trip – not choosing between culture and high mountains, but experiencing both with a sustainable, locally grounded approach. We prioritize locally operated teahouses and community-based accommodations so that your visit supports families, monasteries and village economies across both Tsum and the Manaslu Circuit.
