The Manaslu region is in the northern part of Nepal, in the Gorkha District. It lies close to the border with Tibet and is part of the central Himalayan range.

In the city, only breakfast is included in the trip itinerary. While on the trek, we provide good quality food in sufficient quantities from Tea Houses/Mt. lodges. We provide all meals on full board (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and tea & coffee) from the teahouse menu during the trekking period. Various meals include noodles items, soups, bread, rice items, curries, spaghetti, pizza, egg items, potato items, pasta, the fresh vegetables so overall you have a different choice of food on the trek.

Staying hydrated is important when undertaking any physical activity but particularly so at the altitude where it is generally recommended to drink at least 3-4 liters per person per day. We strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water on the trek as this contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in Nepal’s trekking areas. All tea houses will provide cold water free of charge if requested. Although this should not be drunk untreated, we recommend bringing a reusable bottle with a wide opening (Nalgene or similar) and using a SteriPEN to treat it.

A Steripen is a handheld UV water purifier – small, lightweight, and battery-powered so it is easy to pack for a trek. In Nepal’s trekking regions, most of the bottled water isn’t strictly ‘mineral water’ anyway but is UV-treated, so it’s the same technology. It’s quick to use, far more effective than purification tablets, and the water is ready immediately. It’s fine to use a SteriPEN on non-boiled water so long as it isn’t cloudy or full of sediment (which is uncommon in these regions).

You can expect a mix of terrain, starting from low river valleys and moving into steep hills. The trail has forests, suspension bridges, and rocky paths. Higher up, it becomes more rugged and dry.

It has deep connections with Tibetan Buddhism. The valley is a “holy land” where no animals are killed, and it is filled with ancient monasteries and prayer walls.

The valley is mainly inhabited by the Tsumba people. They have strong Tibetan roots, follow Buddhist traditions, and maintain a lifestyle that has changed very little over centuries.

The main language is Tsumba, which is similar to Tibetan. Most locals also understand and speak Nepali.

Climate change and glacier melting are big concerns. Waste management is also a challenge, as tourism brings plastic to remote areas that have no way to process it.

If you hire a porter, you only carry a day pack with water and a jacket, weighing about 5 to 7kg. The porter carries the rest of your heavy gear.

Connectivity is very limited. Mobile signals work in all place  Tsum Valley. Some teahouses offer slow, paid Wi-Fi, but you can bring your NTC Mobile Sim is better.
