Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek are probably some of the most adventurous treks in the Himalayas that offer a lifetime trekking experience. If you are an adventure fanatic, who seeks challenges and less crowded trails yet loves to be down to Earth and escape in nature, and then Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek is the best option for you. Trekking in the Manaslu region opened in 1991, whereas Tsum Valley was opened in 2008 for foreign travelers. Closed for decades, these two regions have well-preserved and protected the unspoiled vegetation, ancient Buddhist culture, and exotic wildlife.

Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking Permit: First thing, the Manaslu region is a restricted area, which means you have to get special permission from the government of Nepal to trek in this part of the country. Along with that, there are certain rules that trekkers must have to follow to trek. As a foreign trekker, you have to trek with a local travel agency with at least two trekkers in the group (not including the guide/porters). Likewise, you cannot get your Nepal Trekking Permits through an independent guide.

Manaslu Circuit Trek Permits: September to November: USD 100 per person for the first seven days and an additional USD 15 per person per day from the eighth day onwards December to August: USD 75 per person for the first seven days and an additional USD 10 per person per day from the eighth day onwards

Besides that, you also have to take out the Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) permit and Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit. All of these permits can be obtained in Kathmandu, which is done by your trekking agency.

Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) permit for foreigner – NRP 3,000 Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) permit for SAARC countries – NRP 1,000 Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit for foreigner – NRP 3,000 Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit for SAARC countries – NRP 1,000

Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek Accommodation: Tsum Valley and Manaslu Trek is a teahouse trek. You can find teahouses in all the villages to stay overnight. Teahouse here is basic, good enough to spend the night. Single rooms are usually not available and can get costly in comparison to twin-shared rooms.

The washroom is mostly common. You might get a private washroom in the lower elevation. Camping is another great option to enjoy Manaslu Circuit via Tsum Valley Trek to its fullest. We offer full support, including trained crew members if you wish to do a camping trek. All of our gear and tents are high-quality and tested.
