Overview
Tsum Valley is one of the most isolated, unspoiled, and visited valleys in the Manaslu Region, which sits on the lap of Ganesh Himal, Shringi Himal, and Bouddha Himal. Opened officially in 2008, Tsum Valley Trek is becoming a more and more popular trek among domestic and international trekkers and nature lovers. This Trek lets you observe Tsumbas people of Tibetan origin, ancient art, culture, and religion at their original habitat – the Tsum valley.
You have an incredible view of Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m) and other pristine snow-capped Himalayan peaks during your journey. Experience life-changing moments at every step of your Trek – Mt. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Annapurna Massifs, Budhi Gandaki River plus Gorge (the world’s deepest gorge), Marsyandi River, and Gorkha Bazaar.
Reaching Upper Tsum Valley, you can indulge in traditional villages’ beauty, with stone houses, barley, maize, buckwheat, and potatoes farming in higher altitudes. You may encounter Himalayan Tahrs, blue sheep, and snow leopard if you are lucky. At Mu Gompa and Rachen Gompa, you feel blessed being invited and welcomed at the evening prayers.
What a life-changing experience!
Tsum Valley Trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Aarughat/SotiKhola. Next, you trek through traditional settlements, terraced fields, pastures, dense rhododendron/ alpine forests, glacial rivers, frozen lakes, deep gorges, and narrow ridges. During your Trek, you pass Larkhya La Pass, step on the Manaslu Base Camp, and explore Birendra Tal (lake). Gompas, prayer wheels, Mani walls, stone inscriptions with Buddhists mantras, and local woodcrafts attract, energize and entertain to accomplish your adventurous Trek to the Manaslu Region. Mu Gompa, Gumba Lungdang, and Tsum valley further make your Trek unforgettable.
