Questions travellers ask
Is May a good time to visit Manaslu & Tsum Valley?
May is warm at altitude and hot in the lower gorge, where the walk from Machha Khola to Jagat can reach 30 °C. The pass is usually clear of snow, and Bimthang's meadows turn green. Haze and pre-monsoon cloud increase through the month, so views of Manaslu are less reliable than in April. Late May brings the first monsoon showers and leeches on the lower trail. Treks should finish by the last week.
