Tsum Valley Trek is an off the beaten path journey to Nepal’s most secluded and mysterious Tibetan Buddhist valleys around Manaslu region. Only a hand full of trekkers venture out to this part of Nepal which was closed to the rest of the world until 2008.
Tsum Valley Trek starts after an adventurous drive on the curvy Himalayan roads to the small town of Sothi Khola. Initially, we will be trekking on the Manaslu circuit trail through really small villages, terraced farmlands, lush forests enjoying the majestic views. As we deviate from the Manaslu circuit trail for Tsum Valley, we start experiencing the remoteness and solitude of this hidden valley. Locals here are from Tibetan origin living here for centuries where they speak their own language while practising their traditional culture. Tsum Valley is completely diferent from the normal Nepali experience. During our trekking we will be spending our nights in small family run home stays and getting an insight of the local culture and traditions throughout the trek. Small Tibetan settlements, ancient monasteries, unique culture, interesting way of life, splendid views of Himalayan peaks, rare flora & fauna and the remoteness in itself are some of the many highlights of Tsum Valley Trek.
