Tsum Valley trekking takes you to pilgrimage valley at the border of Tibet. It is located at one of the secluded and uncharted territories of the Himalayan region. With the beautiful Ganesh Himal, Mt. Sringi and BoudhaHimal to keep you company this trek provides one of the best sights to behold. 

This culture-bound Tsum Valley trek shows for some of the unique Buddhist tradition anywhere on earth. With beautiful artistic chortens to mani walls along with ancient arts of Tibetan origin. Up until recently, the path to the trek was closed but has gained a great interest by internal and external tourists alike. 

This region in the Northern part of Manaslu is less exposed compared to another trek in the region due to less exposure. Nevertheless, the rocky trail, the dense forests, open fields, the snowcapped mountains are catching the heart of the trekkers and Tsum Valley trek is slowly gaining more fame. 

We move through remote locations like BudhiGandaki Valley, Tsum Valley, Mu Gompa (3,700m), Macchakhola and witness the perks nature has to offer. The trek is rated moderately difficult and previous trekking on high altitude is advised along with a good stamina. 

Acclimatization plays a vital role and without adjusting you might be a victim of high altitude sickness. This is a 17 days trek and we make sure that every trekker will see the end of their journey.
