If you are looking for a different trek in the Nepal Himalayas, why not take a trip through the remote and secluded Tsum Valley? It has been open to trekkers for less than 20 years, so it is not as accessible or well-known as classic treks in other parts of the country. This 11-day trek does not involve any flights; it is one day’s drive from Kathmandu. Taking us through stunning landscapes up near the Tibetan border with Nepal, the Tsum Valley Trek introduces us to Tibetan lifestyles and culture with the many gompas and monasteries we pass through. As we may expect up so far north, the trails are mainly at elevations over 3,000 m / 9,842 ft, and the views of the mountains are unique. Some of the mountains include Mt Manaslu itself, at 8,163 m / 26,781 ft, Ganesh Himal 7,140 m / 23,425 ft, and Himalchuli 7,893 m / 25,895. A high level of fitness is required for this trek, as the altitude is high, the days are long, and accommodation on the trail is quite basic. Stamina and a sense of adventure are definite advantages! As we trek through the Manaslu Conservation Area not only do we meet Buddhist monks and yak herders, but we also run the possibility of meeting some of the wildlife that makes its home in this area. Red pandas, Snow Leopards, and Blue Sheep are unique mammals in this area. Plenty of birds and interesting flora also add to the flavor. If this sounds like a place you would love to visit, read on!

Autumn Season ( September, October, November & December) The first three months of the dry season from mid-September to mid-December offer the best weather for trekking around the Himalayas in Nepal. The air freshly washed by the monsoon rains is crystal clear, the mountain scenery is superb and the weather is still comfortably warm. December, January, and February are still good months for trekking but are too cold and frozen on the trail.
