The combinational trek of the<a href="../../../manaslu-circuit-trek"> Manaslu Circuit</a> and Tsum valley (an area that used to be forbidden for trekking), through unexplored paths in the Manaslu region with glorious Mt. Manaslu ( 8th highest mountain in the world), is filled with opportunity for exploration. It takes trekkers through the subtropical chain of mountain foothills to dry Himalayan pastures that borders Sit Sang. Manaslu circuit Tsum valley trek begins from Sotikhola and ends at Besi Sahar. It is an adrenaline-filled, adventurous, and challenging trek with a rough, steep trail. One passes the terrific Larkya La pass (5215 m / 17109.58 ft), beholds the sight of stunning Manaslu mountain (8163 m / 26781.5 ft) in the backdrop while getting up close with the vivid culture of <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurung_people">Gurung</a> villages, and colorful as well as a wide range of tradition of remote parts of Nepal. Manaslu circuit Tsum valley trek is connected to Tibet in the upper Budhi Gandaki called Nupri, which simply means the western mountains. As the Manaslu circuit Tsum valley trek passes through Larkya La pass, has a rough trail, and elevates up to high altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and the air becomes thinner, making it a destination with a high risk of altitude sickness( HAPE or HACE) as well as respiratory health problems. It also requires technical skills to avoid these problems and safely cross the difficult parts. It is suggested to have your health checked before the Manaslu Circuit Tsum valley trek and be physically in good shape.
