The Tsum Valley Trek and Manaslu Circuit Trek are two popular trekking routes in the Manaslu area. Tsum Valley takes trekkers to the mystical valley of Tsum which refers to a hidden basin as well. The major valley in the past used to be the safest hideout place during war and famine. The place is also referred to as mini Tibet because of its location, landscape and people’s lifestyle.

Trip Reviews (1)

I finished my third and best trek to the Manaslu Circuit with my companions in Nepal in May 2022. On our Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kubindra and Info Trekking Nepal did a fantastic job. I first connected with them online for my 2019 Mardi Himal trek in Nepal. Following that, I re-joined them for the trek to Annapurna Base Camp.

With the great pleasure I had with them, I am now, in 2022, sharing my best experience. On each of my trips, I was greeted with the utmost joy, and their hospitality and services have never changed. They have excellent, knowledgeable trek guides on hand to provide you with all the information you need to know about the area. I also advise you to try them.

The tour was generally quite educational. We had the most knowledgeable and skilled professional guide, and because of how much he taught us about the area, we were completely captivated by its beauty. Thank you Info Trekking Nepal for the incredible memory of a lifetime.
