Leaving Machha Khola, the trail winds along the Budhi Gandaki River, offering a captivating journey through lush forests teeming with wildlife, including playful monkeys and langurs. This section of the Manaslu Circuit Trek showcases the raw beauty of trekking in Nepal, blending nature and adventure seamlessly.

Passing through Khorla Besi, the trail ascends to Tatopani, renowned for its natural hot springs—a perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate. From there, you'll tackle two bridge crossings over the Budhi Gandaki River, advancing to Doban. The trek continues through landslide-prone areas and the charming village of Yaruphant, where nature's rugged terrain meets serene village life.

A wooden bridge marks your path forward, leading to Jagat, a culturally rich Gurung village celebrated for its hospitality. As a gateway to the restricted areas of the Tsum Valley Trek and Manaslu Circuit Trek, Jagat is a pivotal milestone. Here, you'll register your restricted area permits at the check post, officially entering the heart of the Himalaya in Nepal. This step opens the door to the region's pristine landscapes, setting the stage for one of the best treks in Nepal, guided by the expertise of the Best Trekking Agency in Nepal, Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition.

Crossing a suspension bridge, we leave Jagat behind and begin an ascent to Salleri (1,353 m). The trail offers captivating views as it steadily climbs alongside the Budhi Gandaki River. Passing through scenic landscapes, we reach Sirdibas (1,420 m), a charming village that showcases the culture of the region.

Before arriving at Philim (1,570 m), we cross the Budhi Gandaki River once more, soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. From here, the trail continues upward to Ekle Bhatti, a peaceful spot nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Manaslu Circuit Trek.

Starting from Chumling, our trek kicks off with a one-hour ascent, transitioning into a gentle descent along a leveled trail. As we enter the captivating Tsum Valley, the route ascends to Kowo (2,630 m), offering stunning views of the Ganesh Himal range. The trail then descends briefly before climbing again to Chhokang Paro, where we pass numerous ancient Buddhist stupas, adding cultural richness to the breathtaking journey.

The journey from Chhekampar to Mu Gompa is a lengthy and less-traveled route, ideal for those seeking solitude and adventure. Gradually ascending, we reach Lamagaon (3,302 m), passing a stupa that reflects the region's rich Buddhist heritage. The trail continues with a crossing over the Shiar Khola and winds past Phurbe (3,251 m), navigating two more bridges before arriving at Nile village (3,361 m). From Nile, a steep climb leads to Mu Gompa, a sacred monastery offering breathtaking Himalayan panoramas. Mu Gompa is a spiritual gem and a significant highlight of the Tsum Valley trek.

Today, we retrace our steps to Chhekampar, following the familiar trail as we descend to Phurbe (3,251 m). At this point, two routes diverge toward Chhekampar. Opting for an alternate path, we have the opportunity to visit the historic Ranchen Gompa (3,240 m), a significant site of Buddhist culture. Along the journey, we cross two bridges before reaching Chhekampar, completing another enriching segment of the Tsum Valley trek.

Setting off early from Chhekampar, we descend to Kowo and navigate a series of ascents and descents, making our way back to Chumling. Retracing our steps, we descend from Chumling, cross a bridge, and follow a winding path, crossing two more bridges on the way to Lokpa. Even on the return journey, the scenic vistas and breathtaking landscapes remain awe-inspiring, offering stunning views of the Tsum Valley and surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Today marks our transition onto the Manaslu Circuit. After crossing a bridge, we ascend to Nyak Phedi. Continuing our climb, we cross two more suspension bridges over the Budhi Gandaki River, eventually reaching Pewa. Trekking through lush bamboo forests, we make a steep ascent to Deng, a charming Gurung village offering stunning views of Siringi Himal. This section of the trek combines rich cultural experiences with breathtaking mountain vistas, setting the stage for the adventure ahead.

The trek progresses, winding through lush farmlands before making a dramatic crossing over the Budhi Gandaki River on a swaying suspension bridge. The ascent to Rana marks the beginning of the more secluded realms of the Budhi Gandaki Valley. As we traverse ancient forests adorned with mani stones, the trail to Ghap offers both a physical challenge and a spiritual journey. Passing through Prok village, trekkers are treated to majestic views of Singri Himal, enriching the visual experience. Alongside the river, marked by numerous crossings, the trail is flanked by dense forests and ancient stupas. This segment culminates with a rewarding climb to Namrung, offering an unparalleled sense of achievement and anticipation for the adventures ahead on the Manaslu Circuit Trek.
