The Tsum valley to Manaslu Round trek covers two beautiful and wondrous places in Nepal. People opting for this trek have two options to pick from; the route for both options is the same for the first two weeks, after which they may either travel further into the Manaslu area, or return back from the same route they travelled from earlier.
The Tsum valley is a beautiful valley lying at the base of the regal Ganesh and Sringi Himal at the northeastern part of Nepal.The tiny hamlets in the Tsum valley has a population of roughly 4000 people of the ethnic group ‘Tsumbas’ who still follow the ancient and exotic Tibetan culture prevalent for hundreds of years. Tsum valley is a restricted tourist area, and requires special permit from the Nepal government to trek in this region.
The route to Manasalu round has magnificent views of Mt. Ganesh, Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Manaslu. The route takes you to numerous villages of various ethnicity such as Gurungs and Tibetan. These people have beautifully rich local customs and cultures and are well known for their hospitality. Both of these route is endowed with enormous floral and faunal diversity, with lush pine and rhododendron forests and is also known to be the habitat of various endangered species such as blue sheep, musk deer, snow leopards, red pandas and also hosts a great number of exotic bird species.

Rooms will be booked at Ti-se guest house in Kathmandu. During the trek, accommodation will be in teahouses either in single room or shared rooms according to the availability. Generally, the rooms have to be shared during peak tourist seasons because they are mostly fully booked.
The tea houses are available in all the major points on this trekking route. They offer a wide variety of meals and drinks on their menu.
The best time to trek are Autumn (Sept. to Dec.) and Spring (March to May). The treks during Winter and Summer (monsoon) aren’t impossible but just quite challenging. For the best experience, the early and late Spring and Autumn would be preferable due to less tourist traffic.
During the early Spring, the vegetations look fresh with early flowers starting to bloom in several kinds of plants. The villages are full of activity in preparation of family farms for planting the crops. The days are generally sunny due to which they offer good scenery.
The early Autumn is fresh green after a period of warm rainy days from summer monsoon. The month long Nepali festivals of Dasain and Tihar can also coincide and the harvest time also starts in many of the villages.
The early Winter (late Autumn) is also a very good time if one prefers lower elevations in the Himalayas.
