Tsum Valley Trek

Discover the sacred Tsum valley, a remote Tibetan-influenced Himalayan sanctuary in northern Gorkha. Rich in Buddhist heritage, ancient monasteries, and pristine wildlife, Tsum offers a unique cultural trekking experience with easier access. The Tsum valley trek was officially opened to trekkers in 2008, and remains one of Nepal’s lesser-known yet profound sacred Himalayan destinations.

Nestled in northern Gorkha, this serene Valley, whose name “Tsum” means “vivid,” unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Ganesh Himal, Sringi Himal, and the Boudha Mountain ranges.

The Valley forms part of the famous Kyimu Lung pilgrimage circuit, which connects spiritual centers across Tsum, the Manaslu region, and into southern Tibet. Legend has it that the great Tibetan saint Milarepa meditated in the caves of these mountains, further sanctifying the valley.

Due to its easier access route compared to Dolpo and Humla, Responsible Treks promotes Tsum Valley as a compelling alternative for those seeking cultural depth and remoteness without extreme logistical challenges.
