Highlights

Overview

Tsum valley is one of the most popular which takes into the majestic views of Himalayas. The trek to Tsum Valley takes us to the outstanding  surroundings of Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, and Boudha Himal ranges. The people, the Tsumbas belong to Tibetan origin with their own ancient form of dialect, art, culture, and religion. The Tsum Valley lies on the northern part of Manaslu Valley and used to be a restricted area until 2008. The region is still less exposed in comparison to other touristy areas, with relatively virgin and less beaten paths in comparison to the more popular regions. The Tsum people have their own way of family life, which may be quite surprising for many outsiders
The trek start and end point is Arughat or Amazing Nepal Journey organizing to circuit Larke pass too. The first half of the treks ascends the Budhi Gandaki Valley on good paths through a mix of dense forest, terraced fields and hill villages. As we leave the main Manaslu Trail for the Tsum valley, suddenly we get a feeling of entering truly into the hidden valley. Pass the lower Buri Gandaki regions of Liding, Machhakhola, Jagat and Philim. We also visit the ancient Gombas of the region such as: Rachen Gompa,Mu Gompa,  Dephyudonma Gompa. Amazing Nepal Journey Treks & Expedition is organizing such beautiful adventure trip in Nepal since one decade.
