Manaslu Tsum Valley 20 Days Trek

If you add Tsum Valley as a side trip apart from regular Manaslu Trek then there are lots of alternative options for itineraries as we can skip some part in Tsum or cover entire part. For me I would love to explore most of the part of Tsum Valley however skipping Ganesh Himal Base Camp would be great cause trail is really difficult I had just been there once and almost damage my gears. Here I will suggest a regular itinerary covering entire place in Tsum and gives you an option for Ganesh Himal Base Camp Day Trip from Gumba Lundang.

If you see my 15 days regular Manaslu Circuit Trek Itinerary then there are two successive rest days in Samagaon and Samdo, but here I had skip the one in Samdo. Rule of high altitude sickness is to trek high and sleep low as we will already acclimatize with elevation of 4200 m around Mu – Monastery and back to elevation around 1000 m again before continuing toward high pass of Larke. I will be updating the list of things that you need to include in your packing list for trip.
