Questions travellers ask
Is March a good time to visit Manaslu & Tsum Valley?
March opens the spring season. Lower forests warm up and rhododendrons start to bloom around Namrung and Lho late in the month. Larkya La usually opens from mid to late March, but deep snow can remain and the descent to Bimthang is icy, so early-March crossings are uncertain. It is a good time for the Tsum Valley and for treks to Samagaun, with clear mornings and few other groups.
What is the weather like in Manaslu & Tsum Valley in March?
Samagaun −6 to 9 °C, Namrung 0 to 14 °C, warming, snow lingers on the pass. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
