Tsum Valley is known for its Tibetan Buddhist culture, ancient monasteries, and breathtaking landscapes. This extension usually adds around 3-4 days to the trek.

- Explore Villages: Throughout the trek, you’ll pass through various villages with unique cultures and traditions. Take some time to explore these villages, interact with locals, visit monasteries, and gain insights into the rural life of the Manaslu region.
- Detour to Dharmasala: On your way to or from Larkya La Pass, consider a detour to Dharmasala (also known as Larkya Phedi), the last settlement before crossing the pass. It’s a good acclimatization stop and offers dramatic views of the surrounding mountains.
