Tsum Valley Trek
We have two Tsum Valley trek packages- one is short with 12-day itinerary, and another is a long 18-day itinerary. Tsum Valley is one of the hidden areas in the restricted Manaslu region.

We have decided to keep the Tsum Valley trek package in our senior citizen packages because of its gradual ascent and to provide something a bit more adventurous, remote, and moderate level. We understand that this trek is for all senior citizens, but those who are fit and looking for something special can consider the Tsum Valley trek in Nepal.
The trail ascends and descends via dense forests, crossing many suspension bridges over gushing rivers. Witness beautiful waterfalls, lovely streams, and stunning mountain views on the way.
