Tsum Valley Trek - 15 Days

Tsum Valley Trek is one of the most remote Himalayan Valleys in the world. It was also a restricted region until recently. Trekking in this valley takes you to the surroundings of magnificent Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Boudha Himal Ranges.

This region was once a part of Tibet because of which it has its own unique essence. The residents of this valley are origins of the Tibetan culture. They have a rich and diverse culture, art, tradition, and lifestyle.

Initially, the Tsum valley Trek trek followed Around Manaslu Trek. Not many adventure seekers have made it to the mysterious valley.  This valley was a restricted area until 2008. The trails are less trodden as compared to other treks because it sees very few visitors. The residents of this valley have a unique tradition and culture. Polyandry, a type of marriage wherein all the brothers of a family marry a single girl, is common practice.

The Tsum Valley trek starts and ends at Arughat, a seven hours drive from Kathmandu. The first half of the trek ascends the Budhi Gandaki Valley on good paths through a mix of dense forest, terraced field, and hill villages.

As we leave the main Manaslu Trail for the Tsum valley, suddenly we get a feeling of entering truly into the hidden valley.

While on the trek, we also pass through the alpine forests, glacial rivers, and enjoy the warm hospitality of ethnic people. Pass the lower Budhi Gandaki regions of Liding, Machhakhola, Jagat and Philim. We also visit the ancient Gompas of the region: Rachen Gompa, Mu Gompa, Dephyudonma Gompa.

The Tsum valley trek is a great way to explore the great landscape and the unique culture and lifestyle of the people living in the region.
