Overview of Tsum Valley Trek

The Tsum valley used to be a restricted area until it was opened for trekking in the year 2008. Situated in the northern Gorkha, the valley is a scared Himalayan Pilgrimage valley. The valley is rich in ancient arts, culture and religion and lies against the back drop of Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Boudha ranges. The people living in the valley are mostly of Tibetan origin and speak unique dialect. The unique culture of the valley remains intact as the valley is bypassed by development for centuries due to its remote and inaccessibility from the developed cities.

On the trail to Tsum valley we will witness rich fauna and flora vegetation and forests of rhododendron, pine, conifer and beautiful waterfalls along the way. We will pass by the sites of beautiful Himalayas on the way along with beautiful monasteries. This trekking trip is quiet, peaceful, less touristy and less exposed than the other trekking trails. Come and explore the rawness of the less explored Tsum valley.
