Highlights

The Tsum Valley Trekking is a special journey in the Himalayas, located in northern Gorkha, Nepal. The name "Tsum" comes from the Tibetan word "Tsombo," which means vivid or beautiful. This valley was traditionally divided into thirteen provinces ruled as a single territory, known as "Tsum Tso Chucksums." It is surrounded by the majestic Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, and Boudha Himal ranges, offering a serene environment rich in ancient art, culture, and religion. The local people are mostly of Tibetan origin and have their own dialect. The trek's altitude ranges from 1905m in Lhokpa to over 5093m at Ngula Dhojhyang pass on the Tibetan border. The valley is encircled by the Boudha Himal and Himal Chuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the south, and Sringi Himal to the north.
