Tsum Valley Trekking

Tsum Valley Trekking

Tsum Valley, located at the altitude of 1905 to 5093 meters, is one of the fascinating trekking trail in Nepal. It is also known as the ‘Hidden Valley’ which boasts Buddha Himal and Himal Chuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the south and Sringi Himal to the north. This includes two remote villages development committee Chhekampar (Upper Tsum) and Chumchet (Lower Tsum). The place is untouched by modernization where visitors can see immaculate state and remoteness and ancient ruins.
The famous Kyimo Lung, a pilgrimage circuit in the central Trans-Himalaya, is well known for its centers of learning Buddhism and meditation.
The Tsum Valley’s acquaintance with Tibet, natural beauty and its pristine culture make the trekking unique in this place. The local people are mostly of Tibetan origin and speak a unique dialect. Trails are strewn with many walls made of thousands of stone slabs carved with deities and prayers. The Tsum Valley has a long history of Buddhism.
There are different ways to reach the place. my traveler who visits here understands why…Tsum is a sacred and magical beryl. One of Nepal's most beautiful valleys, it is isolated from the southern lowlands (a five day trek distant) by deep forested gorges and cascading rivers, and from Tibet in the north by high snow-covered passes. It is home to 18 small villages and about 4000 people of the indigenous ethnic group known as “Tsumbas”. They are primarily of Tibetan origin and practice Buddhism and Bon religions.

It is surrounded by tall Himalayan peaks, including the Baudha Himal and Himal Chuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the South and Sringi Himal to the north. The northern terminus of the valley is bounded by three high passes to Tibet, including Ngula Dhoj Hyang (5093 m.) to the east and Thapla Pass (5326 m.) to the west. There are no airports, roads or motorized vehicles in (or near) Tsum Valley. All travel is done on foot along time-worn trails that feature many ancient chortens and carved mani stone walls inscribed with prayers and depictions of deities

The Buddhist saint Milarepa is supposed to have meditate in caves of this mountainous valley, and it is home to over 100 monks and nuns at Mu Monastery and Rachen Nunnery. Many residents of Tsum account having seen or found signs of Mehti, usually referred to in the West as the 'Yeti' or repulsive Snowman'.

Tsum Valley only open to foreign trekkers in 2008. Due to this, along with its isolation and aloofness, Tsum Valley and its people have avoided commercial impacts and changes for centuries. As a result, its unique culture has remained largely intact. Since it has not been visited by many travelers, there are very few established amenities such as teahouses, hotels, stores or restaurants along the trail. Instead, we offer fully-supported camping treks and enriching home stay programs in Tsum Valley to allow travelers more interaction and approaching into conventional Himalayan lifestyle.

Our Tsum Valley trek begins in Arughat (Gorkha district), which is easily accessible from Kathmandu.
