The Manaslu area, situated in Nepal, is a prime trekking locale that encapsulates the vibrant high-altitude lifestyles of the Nepalese in one extraordinary journey. The Tsum Valley Trek and the Manaslu Circuit Trek are two sought-after packages for this expedition. The Tsum Valley route introduces travelers to the enigmatic Tsum valley, also known as the concealed basin. Historically, this secluded valley served as a secure sanctuary during times of war and famine. Owing to its geographical positioning, terrain, and the natives’ way of life, the area often garners comparisons with a smaller version of Tibet.
