The Manaslu Circuit Trek and the Tsum Valley Trek are combined to form the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek. We suggest the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek if your vacation schedule permits you to spend three weeks in Nepal and you would like to hike a less-traveled route. This journey will lead you to the Manaslu Conservation Area's less-traveled trail. You must travel to Machhakhola, which is 160 kilometers from Kathmandu, to begin the hike, but the journey begins and ends in Kathmandu. The route is pleasant and picturesque, and it gives you a partial off-road driving experience. You will observe Nepal's rural villages, rice paddies, rivers, and the breathtaking Annapurna Range, Manaslu, Langtang, and Lamjung Himal while driving to Machha Khola. The most popular treks are quite crowded during the busiest travel season. For travelers who like to trek in the peace and quiet of nature while learning about Buddhist culture and rural Nepal, the Manaslu Tsum Valley trek is an excellent choice.
