Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek could be a unique adventurous trekking route around the Manaslu region. Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek offers beautiful Himalayan views of Mt Manaslu(8163m), Mt Dhaulagiri(8167m), Mt Annapurna (8091m), and other 23 mountain peaks, beautiful landscape, lush valley, and mixed Nepalese culture. Tsum comes from the Tibetan word ‘Tsombo’ which implies vivid. The Manaslu Conservation Area could be a restricted area that was unfolded to the general public about 20 years ago.
Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is lying between the Baudha Himal, Chule to the west, Spring Himal to the north, and Ganesh Himal to the south traditionally Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek was a culturally distinct, geographic area called ‘Tsum Iso Chuksum’ which suggests thirteen provinces ruled as one territory. Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is wall protected by the Manaslu conservation area which may be a gateway to determine protected flora and fauna, including species, ‘snow leopard’. The best time to try and do the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek is between the months of October and December and therefore the next best is from March to May.
