Tsum Valley Trek – 19 Days

Tsum Valley is one of Nepal’s remotest valleys located amidst the mountains. The access to the region was recently provided, however, it is still considered one of the restricted regions. The trek takes around the majestic Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, and Boudha Himal ranges. Predominantly Tibetan, the region is closer to Tibet in terms of culture and lifestyle.

The people of Tsum Valley or popularly known as the Tsumbas belong to Tibetan origin. Due to its discreet nature and lesser inflow of tourists, the region still remains untouched. It was only opened in 2008. You’re required to obtain a special permit to enter the region. The older lifestyle, culture and traditions are still intact.

The trek begins and ends at Arughat. The trail passes through multiple suspension bridges, mixed dense forest and unbeaten path along the Budhi Gandaki River. The ancient Gombas of the region such as: Rachen Gompa, Mu Gompa, Dephyudonma Gompa are the sights to see.
