Manaslu circuit and Tsum valley trek difficulty
Manaslu circuit and Tsum valley trekking is one of the most strenuous treks in the Himalayas. This trek is not for first-time trekkers or someone who cannot walk on trodden terrain on average 6 hours a day. You'll be crossing a high Himalayas pass, Lakya La (also the highest point of the trek). The trek involves walking on steep, rock paths that further advance to glacial & moraine walking.
The Manaslu region is not easily accessible and very remote from the rest of Nepal. Unlike the famous Annapurna Circuit trail or Everest base camp trail, Manaslu Circuit doesn't have great accommodation/meal facilities. It's the bare minimum on the trail, so the participants have to be very enduring and understand all the limits.
