Besides nature and mountains, respecting the local culture is equally crucial. Along the trip, you will be staying at the teahouses of the local people, mostly Tibetan People. Enjoying their local dishes, greeting them with “Namaste”, and involving their lifestyle gives them joy.

We recommend following them as per the regulations.

How difficult is it to do Tsum Valley Trek and Manaslu Circuit at the same time?

Trekking Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley at the same time can be strenuous. Therefore, the trip needs to be done with careful preparation. The daily routine of this journey is 5-7 hours of walking through the isolated areas. It means the trails are often rugged, and steep, and have numerous ups & downs. Moreover, it consists of a high-altitude hike to Manaslu Base Camp, Larkya La Pass, and Rui La Pass (Tibetan Border). A good amount of effort is required to overcome all these challenging parts of the journey.

A careful preparation and well-customized itinerary are required to complete this journey without any difficulties. Engaging in Physical exercises, trekking at the right time, packing the right trekking gear, acclimatizing properly, and so on, makes the trip easier to succeed. In our 20-day ManasluTsum Valley Trek itinerary we have given you 2 days for acclimatization before crossing the Larkya La Pass. It allows your body to recover after long days of trekking as well as adjust the altitude. Lastly, trekkers must have good health conditions and a positive mindset before joining this Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek.

Accommodation in Manaslu Trek Route and Tsum Valley

Teahouse is the major accommodation you will find often during this trek. They provide simple rooms with two beds, pillows, mattresses, and blankets. These kinds of teahouses are perfect for overnight stays. However, do not expect luxury facilities as most of the places are remote and lack modernization. In some teahouses, trekkers are obliged to share the bathroom and toilet.

While the facilities are very limited, they do provide electricity in most of the places. Nevertheless, this facility is also limited as they have to depend on Solar energy. Therefore, to charge your mobile devices and batteries, they will charge extra cost. Similar to the internet, often the internet facilities in the teahouses are available but it’s limited and unreliable too.

Meals and Drinking water facilities along the Manaslu Trekking Trail

During your voyage to Manaslu and Tsum Vallet Region, the meals are covered in this package. You will be given nutritious meals (one main course at each meal), breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can choose from the menu set by the Manaslu Conservation Project.

• Breakfast items: Tibetan Bread, Chapati, Porridge, Muesli, Boiled Eggs, Bread, Omelet, etc.
• Lunch and Dinner: Nepali Daal Bhat, Pasta, Spaghetti, Potatoes, Noodles, Soups, Spring rolls, fried rice, plain rice, vegetable curry, vegetable soups, etc.

Regarding drinking water in Manaslu and Tsum Valley, most of the teahouses provide filtered water or Mineral water bottles. However, we recommend you not buy plastic bottles throughout the trek. Instead of that, carry a camelback bottle or UV sterilizer bottle with you to refill it. Also, if you like to use water directly from the spring, a water purification tablet is recommended.

Is a trekking guide compulsory for the restricted area of Nepal?

Manaslu and Tsum Valley, both are restricted regions of Nepal because of their location, near the Tibetan Border. Moreover, almost the trail goes past the Manaslu Conservation Area. Therefore, hiring a trekking guide for Manaslu is mandatory. This is because no trekkers are allowed to enter this region without a guide or porter. To preserve the natural and cultural aspects of this region, this regulation was set by the government of Nepal.

Overland Trek Nepal has a team of trekking guides and porters from the Manaslu Region, who have in-depth knowledge of the whole Manaslu. Their skill in handling the critical situation and facts of this region makes us proud and best trekking agency in the Nepal.

Chances of getting altitude sickness and how to prevent it during the Tsum Valley Trek?

There is a high chance of getting altitude sickness during the Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek. The maximum height you will reach during the trek is 5106 meters at Larkya La Pass. Therefore, after crossing above 3000 meters trekkers may start to feel the symptoms like headache, dizziness, vomiting, sort of breath, insomnia, etc. If the condition gets worse than this then inform your guide immediately. He will give you suggestions and remedies on how to prevent this kind of mountain sickness.

If you stay hydrated right from the start of the trek then there is less chance of getting AMS. Likewise, walking in a good rhythm, eating nutritious meals, acclimatization, etc. can help your body avoid the sickness. Also, we suggest having garlic soup in case if you start to feel the common symptoms of the sickness.
