The Manaslu Circuit combined with Tsum Valley is a popular trek in Nepal, showcasing stunning landscapes alongside rich cultural experiences. The route takes you through deep gorges and ascends to the 5,135m Larkya La pass, with views of Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. The six-day detour into Tsum Valley is equally rewarding, featuring beautiful monasteries and important Buddhist sites. This was my first tea house trek after three camping treks with the company, and while there are pros and cons to compare, the tea houses offer power and WiFi, menus (though options are consistent), and daily showers. The itinerary allows for acclimatization, which is beneficial, although some hiking days are short, so bring something to pass the afternoons. The local crew was excellent throughout. November was an ideal month for trekking, with clear blue skies, but do remember to pack warm layers for the higher altitudes. Be aware that both the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley are gaining popularity, so expect busy tea houses, but starting early usually leads to quieter trails.
