Tsum Valley Remote Trekking 27 Days

Tsum Valley Exploration Trekking Tsum valley trek is Newly opened Trekking route by Nepal Government in 2007 October for trekkers. The Tsum Valley is a sacred Himalayan pilgrimage valley situated in a trans Himalayan region of Gorkha, Nepal sarrounded by Ganesh Himal and Mansalu peaks. The Tsum Valley's acquaintance with Tibet, natural beauty and its pristine culture make this trekking unique. Tsum comes from the Tibetan word 'Tsombo', which means vivid. Against the majestic backdrop of the Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal and Baudha Himal ranges, this serene Himalayan valley is rich in ancient art, culture, and religion. The local people are mostly of Tibetan origin and speak a unique dialect. The trails to Tsum valley are strewn with artistic chortens and lined with mani walls made of thousands of stone slabs carved with deities and prayers.

The Tsum valley has a long history of Buddhism.Picture above is taken near Singla pass, a great close up view of Ganesh Himal range The 11th century Buddhist saint Milarepa is believed to have meditated in the caves of there mountains. Traditionally Tsum valley was a culturally distinct geographical area called 'Tsum Tso Chuksum', which means thirteen provinces ruled as a single territory. The ancient remains of the Tsum Kingdom are still visible today. Due to its remoteness and inaccessibility, this sacred valley and its people have been bypassed by mainstream development for centuries. As a result, the unique culture of this valley has remained intact. In this newly open beautiful trek we take you to explore the Tsum Valley and to the rarely visited Mu Gompa and up to the Tibetan border.

Many interesting ethnic groups Tibetan Tamang, Brahmin, Gurungs a mixed of lifestyle offer you a glimpse into real Nepali life and this gives visitors an opportunity to observe the rich Nepalese cultural tradition from the closest quarter and intermingle with locals, hence giving the visitor a sense of satisfaction. You trek for few days and hardly meet another trekker.
