Best Time/Season for Manaslu Circuit Trek with Tsum Valley

September to November | Autumn

The first best time for Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek is Autumn. As for the season’s weather conditions, Autumn is known as the best time to explore Nepal. You can expect and experience happenings like clear skies and mountains, firm temperature, low precipitation level, warm trekking days, and more in this very season. Likewise, the visibility level of the Manaslu Region is quite vibrant and vigilant. It is a post-monsoon season, so the views look so fresh and pristine.

If you look at the temperature chart of the region during Autumn, the average temperatures seem acceptable. In the lower places of the area like Sotikhola, Philim, Khorla Besi, the weather is around 25 degrees during day hours. You can expect a slightly chilly temperature at night. Moreover, Bimthang, Dharamsala, Samdo, which lie in the high areas, have average temperatures of around 15 degrees and -6 degrees during daylight and dark.

March to May | Spring

Spring is the second but not least time to schedule your Manaslu adventure. As soon as the snow melts by mid-March, you can consider doing the trek even to the higher areas. The temperature slowly ticks back to an average level. You will experience a par temperature of close to 24 degrees in most of the lower regions of Manaslu.

Moreover, the higher areas remain roughly around 18 degrees in the daytime. Also, do not forget that the night and morning hours are comparatively chilly than the day hours. If you have the proper clothes, you can endure the temperature either day or night in Spring. The appealing part of the Spring season is you will walk by newly blossoming flowers. There will be lots of red Rhododendron all over the trails and wildflowers too. Trekking in such serenity with flowers is an imaginary walk in itself.

Difficulties of the Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley Trek

The Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley Trek is a rewarding adventure but comes with several challenges that trekkers should prepare for:

  1. High Altitude: The trek reaches a maximum altitude of 5,160m (16,924ft) at Larkya La Pass, where oxygen levels are lower. Altitude sickness can be a concern, particularly in higher regions like Samdo, Dharamsala, and the pass itself. Proper acclimatization days are included to minimize risks.
  2. Length of the Trek: Spanning 25 days, this trek requires significant physical and mental stamina. Daily walking hours range from 5–7 hours on rugged terrain, demanding sustained endurance.
  3. Challenging Terrain: The trail includes steep ascents, descents, narrow paths, and rocky sections. Some sections, especially near Larkya La Pass, may be snow-covered or slippery, adding to the difficulty.
  4. Remote Location: The trek passes through remote regions where infrastructure is minimal. Basic tea houses provide accommodation, and facilities such as Wi-Fi and electricity can be limited or unavailable in some areas.
  5. Weather Conditions: Unpredictable weather, particularly at higher altitudes, can pose challenges. Cold temperatures, strong winds, or snowfall are common near the pass, while lower areas might experience rain during monsoon season.
  6. Limited Accessibility: The initial and final segments involve long drives on winding, unpaved roads to reach Sotikhola and Besisahar, which may be physically tiring and time-consuming.
  7. Physical Fitness Requirements: A good level of physical fitness is essential. Trekkers should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain for several hours a day, often at high altitudes. Prior trekking experience is an advantage.

Despite these challenges, proper preparation, guided support, and acclimatization make the trek achievable for many, offering unparalleled cultural and natural rewards. With determination and planning, the Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley Trek becomes a life-changing adventure.

Good experience in Buthan tour

I joined the tour of Buthan for 3 nights. Although the price is high because I am in a solo trip, the quality is good! Buthan is the cleanest country in the world! You don’t need to worry about anything just be happy and excited to join the tour! I just went for 3nights-tour, but I did visit Paro, Thimpu, Punakha ! Although not every sighting sites that would visit, the important sites would not miss! This is my second time join the tour in this travel agency, and I was satiated with it every time ! They will handle everything well.

Amazing trips in Nepal 🤩

It was our first time in Nepal, and we spent 7 wonderful days visiting Kathmandu and Pokhara. Sudam was an excellent guide — professional, friendly, and very thoughtful. He introduced us to local restaurants and unique spots, making the trip more authentic. Thanks to him, we enjoyed not only the amazing scenery but also the local lifestyle. Unforgettable memories! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
